Going To The Top Lyrics - Madness

Oh, when you're going to the top and you have no time to stop 

Then you have to travel light and you'd better go by night 

Cause it's not a pretty sight when you're going to the top 

And you're never going to stop you won't let nobody block 

Your way to the top 

And though bodies they may fall, old friends up against the wall 

Can't let feelings in the way as if you had some anyway 

Some will have to move aside true intent you'll always hide 

Wagging tongues may call you snide you may not know who's on your side 

When you're going to the top 

When you're going to the top 

La la la la 

La la la la 

La 

Still you've heard it all before and I don't want to be a bore 

So I'll just be on my way maybe we will meet one day 

Probably won't have much to say if I see you passing by 

Cause you're going much to high and you may well never stop 

Cause you're going to the top 

La la la la 

La la la la 

You could let it go tonight 

Watch it all fade out of sight 

There's still some time to mend your ways 

Don't you know it's love that pays 

Oh yeah 

Maybe we will meet one day 

Probably won't have much to say 

So I'll just say toodle ooh and the best of luck to you 

When I see you passing by when you're going much too high 

When you're going to the top 

When you're going to the top 

When you're going to the top 

When you're going to the top 

La la la la 

La la la la 

La la la la 

La la la la 

Let it all fade out of sight 

Don't you know it's love that pays
