The Invisible Dreams of Vernon Dupont

by John Vanek

/

about

Inspired the names of two streets near where I used to live, the character of Vernon Dupont was created. This song is his story. The story of Vernon Dupont.

lyrics

He's got a big stash of money
In the bank vaults of his mind
And a billion dollar business
Which he's yet to find
He's got a blonde supermodel girlfriend
And a big sports car
He can drive her all around the world
Nowhere is too far

For Vernon Dupont
For Vernon Dupont

And he always dines out
In the finest restaurants
The maitre d' comes to see him
Says 'Good evening Mister Dupont'
And he tips so handsomely
Just like a rich man
The doorman comes to greet him
He wants to shake the hand

Of Vernon Dupont
Of Vernon Dupont

And he gives his money
He spares no expense
To his favourite charities
Maybe ten or twenty per cent
But he doesn't talk about it
I mean where would be the sense?
He wouldn't want to brag or boast
He wouldn't want to cause offence

No, not Vernon Dupont
No, not Vernon Dupont

Some say there's a secret sadness
Behind his eyes
Some grey overcast clouds
Above which
He just had to rise
But he doesn't talk about it
He just keeps it inside
Some say it accounts for the achievement
Some say it account for the drive

Of Vernon Dupont
Mmm of Vernon Dupont
