Cityboy - Ambition lyrics

I - Ambition Broughton-Lange-Mason-Slamer-Thomas-Ward Tell me it's wrong for a man to want to be Much better known and twice as big as World War Three I've been on my knees, a transition is easy to see Cause Ambition you're driving me So big in America, so huge in Japan (Man) So big in America, I say you gotta get it while you can My name is all over Albania, all the rage in Iran (and) Sold out in Australia, I say you gotta get it while you can Open the door, me and my Tarot hold the key I may be unsure, but only temporarily! What will be will be and all the fools agree That Ambition you're k**ing me So big in America, so huge in Japan (Man) So big in America, I say you gotta get it while you can My name is all over Albania, all the rage in Iran (and) Sold out in Australia, I say you gotta get it while you can II – Me And My Tarot Broughton-Lange-Mason-Slamer-Thomas-Ward Unfamiliar doorway, crazy figures on the floor Faces in the hallway staring daggers through the wall I was at the party but I wished I'd never been The stranger on the scene, the guest in someone's Dream The room was smaller with the guests pouring in "Take a card:' they said, "you need your fortune read" "Take some good advice and leave when you are led" The Queen of Broken Hearts had come to warm my Bed It was getting later the clocks all stayed the same Everyone was gathered round to play the party game Someone shouted "Suicide!", and everybody laughed The game had gone too far and I drew the Hangman's Card Then they turned the lights back on and left me in the Dark "Take a card:' they said, "you need your fortune read" "Take some good advice and leave when you are led" The Queen of Broken Hearts had come to warm my Bed We love a hero gone beyond the reach of our Applause - We scream his name and call "Encore!" III – Rev-On (The Crunch) Broughton-Lange-Mason-Slamer-Thomas-Ward (Rev-On) it's a big, black highway (Rev-On) they can say I did it my way (C'mon Rev-On) I got a monster beneath me (Rev it along) Gonna smash me to smithereens I'm after headlines, headlines Gimme, gimme them headlines, headlines "Golden Boy Rides Bike Off Inter-State One-Five No Chance Of Coming Out Alive Poor Kid Was Cut Off In His Prime" Almost A Legend In His Time Red light (can't come back) It's green for go, there's rubber on the road (Too hard) two wheels and ignition That's all I know (Can't come back) One way to Paradise When you've been bitten by (too damn hard) Ambition (Rev-On) You can call me a yo-yo (Rev-On) But can you tell me a better way to go! No! (C'mon Rev-on) Wasn't I the wild one (Rev it along) Like a bullet to oblivion I'm after headlines, headlines Gimme, gimme headlines, headlines "Golden Boy Rides Bike Off Inter-State One-Five" "No Chance Of Coming Out Alive" "Poor Kid Was Cut Off In His Prime" "Almost A Legend In His Time' Red Light (Can't come back) It's green for go, there's rubber on the road (Too hard) Two wheels and ignition That's all I know (Can't come back) one way to Paradise When you've been bitten by (too damn hard) Ambition (Can't come back) I just gotta go, it's written on the Road (Too hard) Two wheels and ignition That's all I know (Canc12 IV – The End (Came Easy) Broughton-Lange-Mason-Slamer-Thomas-Ward Ambition took care of him right to the end Ambition, his mother, his wife and a friend And the end came easy So the news ran loose, and they called out his name And the front page put him on Memory Lane But there was no-one there to see 'Cause the World went up ....... at three!
