All In Vain Lyrics - Singles - Chumbawamba

I wish, I wish 

But it's all in vain 

But it's all in vain 

I wish, I wish 

But it's all in vain 

But it's all in vain 

I wish, I wish 

But it's all in vain 

But it's all in vain 

Different colors, different faces 

Different schools in different places 

Scour the morning papers, all in vain 

Evening after, who remembers? 

Say your prayers for the great pretenders 

I see nothing but flowers, all in vain 

I wish, I wish 

But it's all in vain 

But it's all in vain 

I wish, I wish 

But it's all in vain 

But it's all in vain 

All the gravestone elegies 

'I never met you' memories 

And every TV picture, all in vain 

All your questions, deep as skin 

Separate worlds to put them in 

Another 'might have been', all in vain 

I wish 

(Colorblind as tse-tse flies) 

I wish 

(Sucking all our difference dry) 

I wish 

(And as we sleep they multiply) 

I wish 

I wish 

(And as we sleep they multiply) 

I wish 

(All in vain) 

I wish 

(And as we sleep they multiply) 

I wish 

(All in vain) 

I wish 

(And as we sleep they multiply) 

I wish 

(All in vain) 

I wish 

(And as we sleep they multiply) 

I wish 

(Multiply) 

I wish 

(I wish) 

Multiply 

(I wish) 

(I wish) 

Multiply 

(I wish) 

Multiply 

(I wish) 

Multiply 

(I wish) 

Multiply 

(I wish)
