going to the top

Madness

Oh, when you're going to the top
And you have no time to stop
Then you have to travel light
Yes, you'd better go by night
Cos it's not a pretty sight
When youre going to the top
And you're never going to stop
You won't let nobody block
Your way to the top

And no bodies then may fall
Old friends up against the wall
Can't let feelings in the way
As if you had some anyway

True intents 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

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
Cos you're going much too high
And you may well never stop
Cos 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-oo
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

Like the stars up in the sky
Shining up all night
Like a king upon his throne
Everything his own

Like the stars up in the sky
Shining up a
