Hue & Cry Bright Young Thing lyrics

You're a bright young thing and you care too much
You're a bright young thing and you know such-and-such
But they would drag and bore you, even though they adore you

You're a bright young thing and you've got big plans
You're a bright young thing, you know where you stand
Top of the heap today and every other day

Up there on that pedestal, looking down on us
Do you know how empty and cold is arrogance?
And your time will come, when you're number one
In the blinding sun all alone, bright young thing

You're a bright young thing and you've got big plans
You're a bright young thing and you know where you stand
Top of the heap today and every other day

Up there on that pedestal, looking down on us
Do you know how empty and cold is arrogance?
And your time will come when you're number one
In the blinding sun you're all alone, bright young thing

Hey, up there on that pedestal, looking down on us
Do you know how empty and cold is arrogance?

And your time will come when you're number one
In the blinding sun all alone, bright young thing

And your time will come, when you're number one
All alone, bright young thing
And your time will come when you're number one
Run along now, my young bright thing

There can be no one, that can have some fun
All alone, bright young thing
You say that you don't care, if we melt into air
All alone, bright young thing

You don't need it now, you don't want it now
You don't have it now
All alone, bright young thing, young thing

Thank you suspect stuff, don't think you have enough
Run along, bright young thing
And your time will come when you're number one
