Bad Ambassador

Live version (3:57)

I wanna chill,
I wanna sit real still,
I wanna sleep like the dead on a bed of roses.
Me and my lovely wife
We’re in the prime of life.
I wanna feel real,
I wanna free-wheel,
I wanna steal the show from under their noses,
I wanna get you off.
Well, 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 wanna show you so much more...
But maybe some other time.

I wanna play with the big boys,
I wanna ride with the tough guys on a Japanese motorbike,
I wanna hold your hand, I wanna hold your hand,
Hey, what’s your favourite band, Hey, what’s your favourite band?
Honey?
I wanna look like they looked,
I wanna shake like they shook,
I wanna take what they took,
I wanna get you high. I wanna get you high.
Don’t ask me why Don’t ask me why.
‘Cause it’s just something I’ve gotta do.
I’ll try to make it up to you.

I’m a bad ambassador
For that elusive place you’re searching for.
I wanna show you so much more...
But maybe some other time.
Yeah maybe some other time.

Well, I’m not the Pope and I don’t wanna be
The Archbishop of Canterbury.

I’m a bad ambassador
For that elusive place you’re searching for.
I wanna show you so much more.
Yeah I could show you so much more,
But I’m a bad ambassador.

Well, maybe some other time.

Neil: Thanks.
