Fortunes Lyrics


Some people live for money and fame
Some people live for playin' the game
The best wine and fine cigars
Private jets and fancy cars, oh yeah
And though it looks real good to me
Is it true reality
Dollars poppin' everywhere
Perfect skin and perfect hair, oh yeah
Take away the sparkle, glitter of the diamond ring
I'd give up all my fortunes for these simple things
To fill a heart with laughter that joy alone can bring
Just let me love you, that's enough for me
Oh, that's enough for me, yeah
When will we ever realize
There's a world that cries?
You've got to look outside yourself
Try to help somebody else, oh yeah
Take away the sparkle, glitter of the diamond ring

I'd give up all my fortunes for these simple things
To fill a heart with laughter that joy alone can bring
Just let me love you, that's enough for me
There's more than castles by the sea
Searchin' for treasure, oh
There's more than tryin' to be
A king or queen forever
You've got to look outside yourself
Try to help somebody else, oh yeah
Take away the sparkle, glitter of the diamond ring
I'd give up all my fortunes for these simple things
To fill a heart with laughter that joy alone can bring
Just let me love you, that's enough for me, that's enough for me
That's enough for me, that's enough for me, yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Lilac Time is a band from Birmingham, UK (though based in Malvern, England), formed by Stephen Duffy and his brother nick duffy in 1987.

The initial line-up for the debut album, entitled The Lilac Time, released in November 1987 was the two Duffys and keyboardist Michael Weston.
