Champion Of The World Lyrics
[00:40.12] I tried my best to be just like
[00:44.33] The other boys in school
[00:48.85] I tried my best to get it right
[00:53.30] And died at every duel
[00:57.71] This mountainside is suicide
[01:02.14] This dream will never work
[01:05.90] Still the sign upon my headstone, write
[01:10.74] "A champion of the world"
[01:15.48]
[01:32.93] I tried my best to stay alight
[01:36.87] Fly like a firework
[01:41.61] I tried my best at taking flight
[01:45.83] But my rocketship reversed
[01:50.52] Oh, referee, don't stop the fight
[01:54.53] Everyone can see, I'm hurt
[01:58.81] But I'll stand before conquistadors
[02:03.14] 'Til I'm champion of the world
[02:07.78] (When I sail) And when I sail
[02:11.30] I'm sailing west
[02:15.68] (Though I might fail) Knowing I might fail
[02:20.18] But, still I am hoping for the best
[02:24.85] (In my dreams) And in my dreams
[02:29.04] Onto my chest
[02:32.79] She'll pin the colours and say
[02:35.84] "I wandered the whole wide world but
[02:40.61] Baby, you're the best"
[02:46.25]
[02:59.89] So I'm flying on my bicycle
[03:04.85] Heading upwards from the Earth
[03:09.02] I am jumping with no parachute
[03:13.32] Out into the universe
[03:17.84] I have E.T. on my bicycle
[03:22.38] Because giving up won't work
[03:26.44] I am riding on my rocketship
[03:31.48] And I'm champion of the world
[03:35.45]
