View the lyrics
I tried my best to be just like
The other boys in school
I tried my best to get it right
And died at every duel

This mountainside is suicide
This dream will never work
Still the sign upon my headstone, write
"A champion of the world"

I tried my best to stay alight
Fly like a firework
I tried my best at taking flight
But my rocketship reversed

Oh, referee, don't stop the fight
Everyone can see, I'm hurt
But I'll stand before conquistadors
'Til I'm champion of the world

(When I sail) And when I sail
I'm sailing west
(Though I might fail) Knowing I might fail
But, still I am hoping for the best

(In my dreams) And in my dreams
Onto my chest
She'll pin the colours and say
"I wandered the whole wide world but
Baby, you're the best"

So I'm flying on my bicycle
Heading upwards from the Earth
I am jumping with no parachute
Out into the universe

I have E.T. on my bicycle
Because giving up won't work
I am riding on my rocketship
And I'm champion of the world
Writer(s): William Champion, Guy Rupert Berryman, Scott John Hutchison, Andy Monaghan, Simon Liddell, Harcourt Whyte, Jonathan Mark Buckland, Christopher Anthony John Martin Lyrics powered by www.musixmatch.com
