Lyrics The Divine Comedy

The Divine Comedy

Bad Ambassador

I want to chill, I want to sit real still

I want to sleep like the dead on a bed of roses

Me and my lovely wife

We're in the prime of life

I want to feel real, I want to free-wheel

I want to steal the show from under their noses

I want to get you off

Ain't that enough?

I'm gonna abseil down my ivory tower

And buy myself a Jaguar

I'm a bad ambassador for that elusive place you're searching for

I want to show you so much more

But maybe some other time

I want to play with the big boys

I want to ride with the tough guys on a Japanese motorbike

I want to hold your hand

Hey, what's your favorite band?

I want to look like they looked

I want to shake like they shook,

I want to take what they took

I want to get you high

Don't ask me why

It's just something I've got to do

I'll try to make it up to you

I'm a bad ambassador for that elusive place you're searching for

I want to show you so much more

But maybe some other time

I'm not the Pope and I don't want to be

The Archbishop of Canterbury

I'm a bad ambassador for that elusive place you're searching for

I want to show you so much more

Yeah I could show you so much more

But I'm a bad ambassador

Well, maybe some other time
