lirik lagu city boy - ambition
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 j-pan (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 killing me
so big in america, so huge in j-pan (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 d-mn 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 d-mn 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

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!
