Hello World - Nik Kershaw

I thumb the pages one by one

What if a little bit rubs off on me

Soak up the pictures til I’m gone

Dreams for the dreamers, food for fantasy

Yey, I’m hanging by the pool

And I’m looking like a fool

But I don’t mind

Easy life

Hello world, looking good

In leopard skin and polished wood

I’d be happy if I could be there with you

Hello world, the trouble is

I’ve got nothing much to give

But I’d give it all to live within your pages

I make like everything’s alright

I live in colour, talk in black and white

Here’s the Rembrandt that I bought

Here’s the marlin that I caught

Here’s the wife looking like my daughter

I don’t mind

Easy life

Hello world, looking good

In leopard skin and polished wood

I’d be happy if I could be there with you

Hello world, the trouble is

I’ve got nothing much to give

But I’d give it all to live within your pages

My glamorous friends, how they dazzle and shine

I can always pretend that it’s mine all mine

The clothes I wear are shiny new

They match the three piece and the children too

Hello world
