Delusions Of Grandeur Lyrics - Pet Shop Boys

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 

because 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'm 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 

revolution can be fun
