HIGH FLYER: NO SAFETY NET Social climber no Don't you sink so low No clinging ivy now It's time for you to go
You're pulling out the stops for Top of the Pops
An overnight sensation in the record shops You're using all your friends to get to high places
Don't expect me to put masks on all of your faces
Social climber no...
Moving up the ladder with the other snakes
Becoming a yes Ma'am to all of those fakes
Fear of failure and of ending up alone
Force you to turn to me as your human stepping stone
Social climber no...
No I'm not your stepping stone No I'm not your stumbling block I am just a paving stone Crazy paving in your garden I step on something on your path It's your gnome he laughs at me HA HA HA HEE HEE HEE I'm a laughing gnome and you can't step on me HA HA HA HEE HEE HEE I am a monkey and I swing in a tree
I'm a high flyer I've seen it in my dreams Give me what I need Or be blown to smithereens
