New Model Army - Ambition

Ambition
New Model Army

Open out onto the stage
flexes out for fame and fortune
the smalltown star tonight
into the light
the way she tears into the heart
that i never understood hatred
makes me realise
till i looked into those eyes
no,no one's ever going to patronise me again
No one's going to talk down to me again
i'm going to get out of this town
steal myself a crown
if it's the last thing that i do.
i'm going to get myself some power

Heading out of Bradford
with a ticket on the train
and a faith as hard as steel
and sharp as any pain
gets pictures in the papers
while she lies in bed with racing dreams
hot as blood
smiling oh so good
yeah,love will keep you warm
and love can build a cushion
cos love will make you happy
but hate will drive you onwards
yeah,hate will drive you upwards
to keep you safe from harm
till you get back all the bastards
whoever tried,oh how they tried
And when she's gone forever
please don't lay her down to rest
in a quiet little churchyard
throw a great big party
along with all the rest
to remember that she lived
give her headlines on the TV
to remember who she is
cos no one's ever going to
no,no one's ever going to patronise her again
talk down to her again
she's going to get herself some power
she's going to get out of this town
steal herself a crown
if it's the last thing
the last thing that she does
if it's the one thing that she does
if it's the only thing..that she ever does
