This Charming Life

Hey hey 
 Look at you now
 Look at you now
 With your best dress on


 Hey hey 
 Look at you now
 Look at you now
 With your best dress on


 Hey hey 
 Look at you now
 Look at you now 
 With your best dress on 


 It doesn't seem so very long ago
 That your mind was weak
 And dragged your spirits low


 You had some worries 
 Like the size of earth 
 And the weight on your shoulders
 Of the universe


 I said hey hey 
 Look at you now
 Look at you now
 With your best dress on 


 You painted yourself in a corner space
 Trying to lose that stigma
 And the badge of shame


 But everybody has a cross to bear
 You were a slave to your desire
 To find a better way


 I said hey hey 
 Look at you now
 Look at you now
 With your best dress on 


 I can see you dancing in the pale moonlight
 And you're moving round just like a spinning top
 Got your hair highlights 
 And got your painted nails
 Got your glad rags on 
 And got your humour back


 Yeh the purple people they can learn from you
 To control a mind and make it follow through
 From the darkest recess found a shining light
 Built your world back up 
 And set your life to right 


 I said hey hey 
 Look at you now
 Look at you now
 With your best dress on 


 Look at you now
 Look at you now
 With your best dress on 


 On a blind date
 Under shooting stars
 Met an angel
 Chosen by your fate
 And that's how destiny is shaped 
 When you lend a helping hand


 I said 
 Look at you now
 Look at you now
 With your best dress on 


 It doesn't seem so very long ago
 That your mind was weak
 And dragged your spirits low


 I said hey hey
 Look at you now
 Look at you now
 With your best dress on
