Lyrics to In Every Dreamhome A Heartache (Live 1988)

Lyrics to the song In Every Dreamhome A Heartache as recorded live by Bryan Ferry

(Ferry)

In every dream home a heartache and every step I take
Takes me further from heaven is there a heaven?
I'd like to think so standards of living they're rising daily
But home, oh sweet home it's only a saying
From bellpush to faucet in smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty the main house a palace
Penthouse perfection but what goes on?
What to do there? better pray there

Open plan living bungalow ranch style
All of its comforts seem so essential
I bought you mail order my plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl the perfect companion
You float in my new pool deluxe and delightful
Inflatable doll my role is to serve you
Disposable darling can't throw you away now
Immortal and life size my breath is inside you
I'll dress you up daily and keep you till death sighs
Inflatable doll lover ungrateful
I blew up your body but you blew my mind!

Oh heartache, dream home heartache
Oh heartache, dream home heartache
Oh heartache, dream home heartache
Oh heartache, dream home heartache
