The Good Things Lyrics - Xtc

Though your heart desires the things that money can buy 

Emptiness lies through the glass, I shield your eyes 

There's nothing out there for you, my dear 

There's nothing out there for you 

Let me tell you about the good things 

The good things 

I know your head is full of big ideas 

You ain't missing anything, have no fear 

I have touched the grass so green on the other side 

It will grieve you and deceive you with disguise 

There's nothing out there for you, my dear 

There's nothing out there for you 

Let me tell you about the good things 

The good things 

I know you pine for things you see in magazines 

That world brings heartache, now it's not real, believe me 

Remember all of those good things 

You know you can't buy all those good things
