In Every Dream Home A Heartache Lyrics - Bryan Ferry

In every dream home a heartache 

And every step I take 

Takes me further from Heaven 

Is there a Heaven? I'd like to think so 

Standards of living 

They're rising daily 

But home oh sweet home 

It's only a saying 

From bell push to faucet 

In smart town apartment 

The cottage is pretty 

The main house a palace 

Penthouse perfection 

But what goes on 

What to do there? 

Better pray there 

Open plan living 

Bungalow ranch style 

All of its comforts 

Seem so essential 

I bought you mail order 

My plain wrapper, baby 

Your skin is like vinyl 

The perfect companion 

You float in my new pool 

Deluxe and delightful 

Inflatable doll 

My role is to serve you 

Disposable darling 

Can't throw you away now 

Immortal and life size 

My breath is inside you 

I'll dress you up daily 

And keep you till death sighs 

Inflatable doll 

Lover ungrateful 

I blew up your body 

But you blew my mind 

Oh those heartaches 

Dream home heartaches 

Oh those heartaches 

Dream home heartaches 

Oh those heartaches 

Dream home heartaches
