The Divine Comedy - Napoleon Complex Lyrics

The Divine Comedy Lyrics

"Napoleon Complex"

(Napole-oleon. Napo-napoleon)

Who pulls the strings, who makes the deals?
Stands 5 foot 3 in Cuban heels?
Who gets all the girls, then wakes up again?
Who would rule the world, if they only knew his name?

Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleo-eo-eo-eon
Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleon

Who was the true inventor of
The infamous circular firing squad?
Who has all the brains but non of the stature?
Who'd make Margaret Thatcher look like Mary Magdalene?

Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleo-eo-eo-eon
Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleon

(Plex. Napole-ole-ole-oleon. Oh you've got to come back to me. Oh Napoleon. Oh)

Who patiently awaits the hour?
When he will seize the reigns of power?

Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleo-eo-eo-eon
Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleon Complex-plex-plex-plex
Napoleo-eo-eo-eo-eo-eon
