Ugly Little Dreams lyrics

Frances keep your mouth shut dear We don't want the neighbors 'round With their ugly little schemes That make the pretty world go 'round And there's a place in it for every one of us I'll keep the home fires burning Only don't make a fuss And if you're not impressed With the wares life has to show You can take them or leave them They choose their own fare who say no There's some ugly little dreams For pretty girls to buy It's enough to make you mad But it's safer just to break down and cry It's a battlefield Frances You fight or concede Victory to the enemy Who call your strength insanity What chance for such girls How can we compete? In a world that likes its women Stupid and sweet I bet you rue the day The angels gave you your share Of bright cornflower blue eyes And golden hair And there's a lot of ugly little dreams For pretty girls to buy It's enough to make you mad But it's safer just to break down and cry It's safer just to break down and cry
