The Divine Comedy - Bad Ambassador Lyrics

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
