[Verse 1] Paint the roundabout red and white Put a flag on every pole Somebody says "take back control" Like they really know what it means Every Union Jack tells a story Half remembered, dipped in fake gold Everybody's chasing echoes From a life they never owned [Pre-Chorus] Now the noise won't settle down The creep keeps pulling strings One more voice says who's to blame And the whole town starts to sing [Chorus] Who stole your smile? Who sold you the dream? Who stole your smile? In the theatre of dreams Everybody's shouting Nobody knows Who stole your smile? Before the fear took hold [Verse 2] There's a paper on the bar Screaming out another street war Here comes the blame game No one asks what all it's for Clacton smiles into the wind One more fake promise on the pier Funny how the loudest voices Sound so hollow to me [Pre-Chorus] Now the noise won't settle down That creep keeps pulling strings One more voice says who's to blame And the whole town starts to sing [Chorus] Who stole your smile? Who sold you the dream? Who stole your smile? In the theatre of dreams Everybody's shouting Nobody knows Who stole your smile? Before the fear took hold [Bridge] Maybe home was never lost Maybe time just changed our view Maybe all we're searching for Is someone we once knew [Final Chorus] Who stole your smile? Who sold you the dream? Who stole your smile? In the theatre of dreams Everybody's shouting Nobody knows Who stole your smile? Before the fear took hold
