Ian Dury And The Blockheads Lyrics

Album: Unknown

Delusions Of Grandeur

Be-ah bickey ba bo-bo-bo 

I got a gal that I love so 

Delusions of grandeur, delusions of grandeur 

I’m a dedicated follower of my own success 

I can handle the glamour, I can cope with the stress 

Deal with the doughnuts and please all the rest 

I’m polite to the punters and sweet to the press 

I just won a trophy from a radio station 

I’m leaving my bat and my balls to the nation 

I’ve got megalomania I’ve got megalomania 

To be a twinkle in the show-biz dream 

To which effect I could canive and scheme 

I dive into the dairy and I lap up all the cream 

I’m up to the armpits in self-esteem 

Stiff me quietly up the charts 

Then I can go public with my private parts 

And here is me, oh look at me 

Just another pathetic pop star 

I love you Greta, what else is there? 

Won’t you please accept my hand 

Delusions of grandeur, delusions of grandeur 

Megalomania, megalomania 

Delusions of grandeur, delusions of grandeur 

Megalomania, megalomania 

Delusions of grandeur, delusions of grandeur 

Megalomania, megalomania 

Delusions of grandeur, delusions of grandeur
