Adam Ant Nine Plan Failed Lyrics

Nine Plan Failed Lyrics

After nine years in the army

They took away his brain

They tattooed
"defect" on his brow

And signed him up again



He
killed ten thousand germans

A hundred japanese

A family of
hindus

And a lot of portugese

Nine plan failed



I could
never see the point

Of showing them you’re boss

When they drag you
through the city streets

And naii you to a cross



They took
him to the office

They strapped him to the bed

They fastened lots
of pretty wires

Securely to his head

They wheeled him down the
corridor

Upon a metal trolley

Now he wears big spectacles

And
he sings like buddy holly

Nine plan failed



I could never see
the point

Of showing them you’re boss

When they drag you through
the city streets

And nail you to a cross



The world declared
it’s armistice

And took away his guns

And now he satisfies
himself

On piss-weak tea and buns

On piss-weak tea and buns

Oh oh

At the disco

Rome is very pretty

And rome is very
grand

But the pope lost his four fingers

When they gave this boy
his hand to kiss

When they gave this boy his hand to kiss

It
wasn’t funny no



He wasn’t very good at school

His
highest grade was c

But he believed the managers

When they
said:-

"you leave it all to me"

They gave him suits from
saville row

The quality so fine

So now he sits in the desert
wastes

Just waiting for a sign

Nine plan failed
