Corridors Of Power Lyrics - Singles - The Alarm

Picture you on a pedestal 

So avant-garde of mind 

Standing in the last ditch 

Where fallen heroes lie 

Stand to the left of centre 

Stand to the right sometimes 

All good politicians 

Speak in riddles and in rhymes 

I'm looking under tables 

I'm looking under chairs 

Been searching for an answer 

Been searching everywhere 

Yeah 

Day by day 

Hour by hour 

Who's gonna fly my flag 

In the corridors of power? 

Your image is of virtue 

Pure as driven snow 

Your picture hangs in galleries 

Your sin down in Soho 

One day you'll meet the keeper 

The keeper of your soul 

One day in the next world 

Your secrets will unfold 

I'm looking under tables 

I'm looking under chairs 

Been searching for an answer 

Been searching everywhere 

Day by day 

Hour by hour 

Who's gonna fly my flag 

In the corridors of power? 

Day by day 

Hour by hour 

Who's gonna fly my flag 

In the corridors of power? 

One day in the future 

Like Andy Warhol said 

"Everybody will be famous 

For fifteen minutes" then 

Day by day 

Hour by hour 

Who's gonna fly my flag 

In the corridors of power? 

Day by day 

Hour by hour 

Who's gonna fly my flag 

In the corridors of power? 

Power 

Corridors of power
