She fell into my lap like a falling star
And I instinctively start talking about fast bikes and cars
Eventually I ask her why her arm is in plaster
Says she broke it and her Mum died in a highway disaster
And she says she hates cars with all her life
And she never wants to see another one
And my hopes are blown open wide
To the furthest point in the galaxy
It's easy to get edgy when your nerves have been tried
When there's no one waiting for you in the car outside
In a hospital reception it can be hard to see reason
So I ask this girl who she supports in the football season
And she says she hates football with all her life
And royal blue is not her favourite colour
And once again my hopes are blown open wide
To the furthest point in the galaxy
