Adam Ant - Nine Plan Failed Lyrics
After nine years in the army
They took away his brain
They tattooed "defect" on his brow
And signed him up again
A hundred Japanese
A family of Hindus
And a lot of Portugese
Nine plan failed
I could never see the point
Of showing them you're boss
When they drag you through the city streets
And nail you to a cross
They strapped him to the bed
They fastened lots of pretty wires
Securely to his head
They wheeled him down the corridor
Upon a metal trolley
Now he wears big spectacles
And he sings like Buddy Holly
Nine plan failed
I could never see the point
Of showing them you're boss
When they drag you through the city streets
And nail you to a cross
The world declared its armistice
And took away his guns
And now he satisfies himself
On piss-weak tea and buns
On piss-weak tea and buns
Oh oh at the disco
Rome is very pretty
And Rome is very grand
But the Pope lost his four fingers
When they gave this boy his hand to kiss
When they gave this boy his hand to kiss
It wasn't funny no
He wasn't very good at school
His highest grade was C
But he believed the managers
When they said: "you leave it all to me"
They gave him suits from Saville Row
The quality so fine
So now he sits in the desert wastes
Just waiting for the sign
Nine plan failed

Still my man I want to marry
Best ants album , I was lucky enough to see Adam perform the whole album live on the dirk tour 2014
Dirko is still my favourite album after 38 years of listening to it
it's a great left field record. highly recommended to the uninitiated.
Love the Indian war drum. But what really makes this song, along with that beat, is Marco.
Sorry but I think you'll find that the late Matthew Ashman played on this lp. Marco's no slouch but credit where it's due eh. Adam plays on some of it but it's mostly Matthew.
Great guitarist was Mathew Ashman!
RESPECT TO ALL MY MUFF FAMILLY AND NEW LIFE
what a marriage !!..
Adam Ant is definitely unique, and definitely not like anyone else, his music is originals.one of the best English musical artists of that time!!!!!!!!!
Cool song
Nine Plan Failed especially for Adam and the Ants.
