There's a sparkle in your eye
You are young and bright and witty
Please don't let that sparkle die
And please don't go to the city

You're better than pinstriped suits and fur-lined cars
I know you'll go round the bend in trendy bars

You've got so much more to give
But you won't wait, you won't wait
You've got all your life to live
But it can't wait, it can't wait
'Cos you taste like peppermint
After eight, after eight
You've got so much more
You've got so much more to give

Well they say that desperate times
Often lead to desperate measures
But I thought you weren't the type
To give in to corporate pressures

Is this not the time to live the most each day
And later confront the debts of excess play

Chorus
