Lyrics

[Verse 1: Pete Shelley] A fiction romance, I love this love story That never seems to happen in my life A fiction romance on magazine pages That never seems to matter in my life [Chorus 1: Shelley] Dreams of love, and dreams of pain And dreams again, again, again, again Which can be yours just by taking hold Dreams that I can realize Are quite contained within your eyes Say, fiction romance is not sold [Verse 2: Shelley] A fiction romance, I love this love story That never seems to happen in my life A fiction romance, all of the glory That never seems to happen in my life [Chorus 2: Shelley] Dreaming, scheming, unaware that Quiet somewhere, some unaware folk Are not thinking 'bout what they have been told Something strange is happening to The way I see the world I view That fiction romance is not sold [Verse 3: Shelley] As a fiction romantic, I never respected All these things that happened in real life And no fiction romantic could ever've predicted All the things that happened in my life [Chorus 3: Shelley] When I don't know what to do I just think about me and you If I was a little stronger then I'd be bold Something- happening to me I don't know what these shivers mean to you This is the fiction kind of romance getting hold [Outro: Shelley, Steve Diggle, Shelley & Diggle] A fiction romance, a fiction romance A fiction romance, a fiction romance A fiction romance, a fiction romance A fiction romance, a fiction romance Fiction romance, fiction romance Fiction romance, fiction romance Fiction romance, fiction romance Fiction romance, fiction romance Pass it 'round Steven will sing this one Thank you
