Delusions Of Grandeur Lyrics

(Tennant/Lowe)

The cathedral's glittering on coronation day

Crowned heads and cardinals under military sway

I approach the altar slowly in a humble shroud

To receive the acclamation of the loyal crowd

     Give me power over people

     In a palace with a permanent guard

     And the flags unfurled

     Give devotion, dedication, celebration

     Not some cheap charade

     And I'll rule the world

     All of these delusions of grandeur

     'Cause they said: "We don't understand you"

     And I want revenge

In audience I receive the media's pleas

They kiss my ring in interviews on bended knees

In victory I am magnanimous and charming when

I speak exclusively at length to CNN

     About power over people

     In a palace with a permanent guard

     And the flags unfurled

     With devotion, dedication, celebration

     Not some cheap charade

     I will rule the world

     All of these delusions of grandeur

     Because they said: "We don't understand you"

     And I want revenge

Ring the bells, tell everyone

Ring the bells, tell everyone

Ring the bells, tell everyone

Revolution can be fun

     All of these delusions of grandeur

     'Cause they said: "We don't understand you"

     And I want revenge

     Give me power over people

     In a palace with a permanent guard

     And the flags unfurled

     Give devotion, dedication, celebration

     Not some cheap charade

     And I'll rule the world

Ring the bells, tell everyone

Revolution can be fun
