Adam Ant – Charge Of The Heavy Brigade lyrics

Charge of the Heavy Brigade

Well you're standing there so pained and oh so torn
Just as naked as the day that you were born
Well, the 50's and the 60's were all right
But baby, this is this, let's go out tonight
New romantic very twee
I'd rather that not include me

If you wanna take a picture, then you ask
Maybe show a little quality at last
I feel sure the time will come and you will know
What it's like to be the star of your very own show
Time a change was made
It's the charge of the heavy
Charge of the heavy brigade
Charge, charge, charge of the heavy brigade

So why not have a few laughs and go on home
You never, ever leave well enough alone
The 70's and 80's were real fine
But pretty baby, you show me yours
And I'll show you mine
Disco-frantic very twee
I'd rather that not include me

If you wanna take a picture, then you ask
Maybe show a little quality at last
I feel sure the time will come and you will know
What it's like to be the star of your very own show
Time a change was made
It's the charge of the heavy
Charge of the heavy brigade
Charge, charge, charge of the heavy brigade

There is not a reason why
People have to do or die
Politicians scream and roar
Let's go out and fight a war
Meanwhile you walk and you're voting number one
It's just above the Brooklyn Bridge
Well, in that case, just for fun
Twister!

If you wanna take a picture, then you ask
Maybe show a little quality at last
I feel sure the time will come and you will know
What it's like to be the star of your very own show

You got a body oh so capable of trouble
Lovers running round this town, oh at the double
So why not make the 90's a big winner?
Balancing somewhere between saint and a sinner
Bring outside the hard-luck story
Statuesque and what price glory?

If you wanna take a picture, then you ask
Maybe show a little quality at last
I feel sure the time will come and you will know
What it's like to be the star of your very own show
Time a change was made
It's the charge of the heavy
Charge of the heavy brigade
Charge, charge, charge of the heavy brigade
