THE ALARM - CORRIDORS OF POWER lyrics

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
