Pocketful Of Dreams Lyrics


Vanities are only charity
And she makes donations at the Tiffany's
Life is hard without a credit card
To get by, get by
She sold her dreams for security
To a man that now she hardly ever sees
With a cold martini in her hand
She don't mind, don't mind
So throw all your luxuries aside
You can't take them with you when you die
Still when I look into your eyes
Are full of dollar signs
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail
You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail, oh
If you design a plastic happiness
Then climb the social ladder to the top, my friend

And don't forget to thank
The piggy bank in the sky, so high
So throw all your luxuries aside
You can't take them with you when you die
Still when I look into your eyes
They're full of dollar signs
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail
You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail
You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail, oh
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail
You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail
You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail
You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail
You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail, oh

Billy Talent is a Juno Award-winning Canadian rock band formed in 1993. They performed and recorded together for about a decade before finding a wide mainstream following. Originally called Pezz, the group originates from Streetsville, in Mississauga, Ontario, but now hail from Toronto, Ontario.

The name is inspired by a character named "Billy Tallent" in the 1993 book "Hard Core Logo" by Michael Turner (filmed in 1996) and it has been the name of the band since 2001, after a dispute with the American Pezz.

To date, the band have released five studio albums, the first under the name Pezz named "Watoosh!", the second under the Billy Talent name is called "Billy Talent" with the third called "Billy Talent II". The fourth album,"Billy Talent III", released in 2009, was produced by Brendan O'Brien, who previously worked with AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam and The Offspring, among others.
The fifth album called "Dead Silence" was released in september 2012.

Drummer Aaron Solowoniuk revealed that the song "This Is How It Goes" was written for him by Ben with the subject being Aaron's struggle with multiple sclerosis, in an open letter to fans posted on the official website in March 2006. As a sign of the dedication to finding a cure for MS, the band hold an annual show in Canada named "F.U.MS" in which all funds go towards the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
