Ian Dury I Believe lyrics

I believe in bottle banks and beauty from within
I believe in saying thanks and fresh air on the skin
I believe in healthy walks as tonic for the feet
I believe in serious talks and just enough to eat

That's what I believe, although it seems naïve
I believe in Santa Claus to give is to receive
That's what I believe

I believe in 'bob-a-job' and life in outer space
I believe an open gob does nothing for your face
I believe in being nice, in spite of what you think
I believe in good advice and not too much to drink

That's what I believe, surprising as it seems
I believe that happiness is well within our dreams

That's what I believe, although it seems naïve
I believe that peace and love are there to be achieved


I believe in being fair, St. Pancras station from the air
I believe in taking care, moonshine sparkles in your hair
I believe in being true, in everything you try to do
I believe in me and you, I hope you share my point of view

I believe in being kind, especially when it's hard
I believe an open mind can show a fine regard
I believe that manners make a person good to know
I believe in birthday cake and going with the flow

That's what I believe, as strange as it may be
I believe this attitude is good enough for me

That's what I believe, although it seems naïve
I believe it simplifies the tangled web we weave

That's what I believe
