Pocketful Of Dreams Lyrics
vanity's her only charity
and she makes donations at the tiffany's
life is hard without a credit card to get by
she sold her dreams for security
to a man that she hardly ever sees
and a cold martini in her hand, she don't mind
so throw all your luxuries aside
you can't take them with you when you die
so when i look into your eyes
full of dollar signs
so reach into a pocketful of dreams for now,
before they fall out of the seams or take a chance
don't matter if you fail, you're too scared to try
cause you might break a nail
if you designed a plastic happiness
to climb a social ladder to the top, my friend
and don't forget to thank the big piggy bank in the sky, so high
and she makes donations at the tiffany's
life is hard without a credit card to get by
to a man that she hardly ever sees
and a cold martini in her hand, she don't mind
you can't take them with you when you die
so when i look into your eyes
full of dollar signs
before they fall out of the seams or take a chance
don't matter if you fail, you're too scared to try
cause you might break a nail
to climb a social ladder to the top, my friend
and don't forget to thank the big piggy bank in the sky, so high

Pretty straight forward, the song is about a girl who only cares about materialistic values. a "plastic happiness", as it's put. When I think about this song, I think of that stereotypical "dessigner chick" kind of thing. Only cares about how she looks, how much money she has to spend, and what other people think of her. ie, the exact opposite of what people should aspire to be. Sadly, our society is full of people like this, who do put materialistic values before the things that should be important in life, such as family and love.

line5: it should be "to A man" line9: i hear "...into your eyes full of dollar signs" line13: 'your' should be "you're" line16: latter should be "ladder" line17: i hear "...don't forget to thank the piggy bank..."
Title should be "Pocketful" not "Poketful"
cheers man. i only listened to some of the tracks then deleted them rite after.
i'm pretty sure this about a girl who only cares about material items and money.
The person above me has got it right. It's about the typical materialistic bitch.
