This song is based on a true story. I was doing a fortune telling party when I met someone who lived less than half a mile from me, but she was married to a millionaire. I tried for ages to write a song with the phrase "she lives just round the corner, on a different planet", but this was the best I could do.                          

 There you are with your fancy car

 In your big fine house, high  walls all around it

Here am I, just an average guy

Got a job that I love

And I’m lucky that I found it

But you if you loved me and I loved you

There’d be nothing we could do about it

 

But in a different world we’d be together

There’d be some way we’d just meet heart to heart

In a different world there’d be somewhere

But different worlds are pulling us apart

 

As I walked you home, said you’d never known

A man like me, so gentle and forgiving

Never knew anyone like you

So full of fire, with such a joy in living

I looked in your eyes and you looked in mine

I can’t mistake the signal that you’re giving

 

All your ways and the things you say

Just make me see how far our ways have parted

Once the same we’ve played different games

And now we’re worlds away from where we started

I’ve had a varied life; you’ve been a rich man’s wife

That’s a recipe for broken hearted
