Mere Human - Ambulance Lyrics

Someone call an ambulance!
Someone call an ambulance!
Excuse me I'm an ambulance
My flashing lights will make you dance!
I'm a necessary extravagance
Though some people call this arrogance
Lights flashing sirens wailing:
Danger and delight dovetailing
It's so-so when it's smooth sailing
But the siren gives me a rush unfailing
I'm quick to respond in a time of crisis;
Even sceptics can't deny this
If God's good we must apply this
To a world dying of politeness
We've been made in His image likeness
C'mon! now's not the time for shyness
Time's running out though I know God's timeless
Act in faith! Don't be self-righteous
Someone call an ambulance!
Give us a call and we'll come and getcha!
Pick you off the floor put you on a stretcher
Pull up your sleeve take your blood pressure
Say 'Thankyou'; we'll say 'My Pleasure'
Human life is the greatest treasure
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Count on me whatever the weather
We are all in this together
Speed limits don't even apply to me!
I break them without impropriety
And my rule-breaking's entirely
For the good of our society
Everything on the road steers wide of me
Because nobody wants to collide with me
Don't you dare get on the wrong side of me
Siren's on so I can't come quietly
Someone call an ambulance!
Give us a call if you ever face an emergency
Call me and I'll come with urgency
In an ambulance--I'm a surgeon see?
Resurrection's having a resurgence see?
It's my passion I drive with fervency
I fly down the road like a Persian C
A R P E T
C A R P E T
And if you can't spell that's a Persian carpet
You can buy yours at the tourist market
Mine's handmade from silken scarlet
Like I were a Hollywood starlet
Yeah my tastes are so upmarket
I treat myself to my own red carpet:
Gotta stay cool gotta stay light-hearted
As we dive into deeps uncharted
Someone call an ambulance!
Someone call an ambulance!
Someone call an ambulance!
