New Model Army - Ambition Lyrics
Open out onto the stagethe smalltown star tonightflexes out for fame and fortuneinto the lightthe way she tears into the heartmakes me realisethat i never understood hatredtill i looked into those eyes - she criesNo one's going to talk down to me againno,no one's ever going to patronise me againi'm going to get out of this townsteal myself a crowni'm going to get myself some powerif it's the last thing that i do.Heading out of Bradfordwith a ticket on the trainand a faith as hard as steeland sharp as any paingets pictures in the paperssmiling oh so goodwhile she lies in bed with racing dreamshot as bloodcos love will make you happyyeah,love will keep you warmand love can build a cushionto keep you safe from harmbut hate will drive you onwardsyeah,hate will drive you upwardstill you get back all the bastardswhoever tried,oh how they tried - to put you down.And when she's gone foreverplease don't lay her down to restin a quiet little churchyardalong with all the restthrow a great big partyto remember that she livedgive her headlines on the TVto remember who she iscos no one's ever going totalk down to her againno,no one's ever going to patronise her againshe's going to get out of this townsteal herself a crownshe's going to get herself some powerif it's the last thingthe last thing that she doesif it's the one thing that she doesif it's the only thing..that she ever does
