Icing On The Cake

Baby, let me make you a statue To stand outside the council house To stand as a reminder of what you are And what you want to be I want to live with you Want to sleep with you In a house, in a peaceful world They want to take you They want to break you Don't let them make you unhappy You are the icing on the cake The party on the street The love you cannot fake The truth you cannot cheat You were left on the doorstep Of the Social Security You were hoping for a future as someone Not just a leisure refugee I always saw you as a fighter and a winner Not content to only write your name Their right way is the wrong way for what you are And what you were born to be Born to be young and free To be young and wise Not to listen to all their lies Don't let them make you Don't let them break you Don't let them make you unhappy Here we come waltzing home By the moon so bright By the sea, by the harbour wall They want to take you They want to break you Shape you and make you unhappy
