Fiction Romance (Live at Lesser Free Trade Hall, Manchester, ENG—July 21st, 1978)

[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
