Lyrics to Soldier Of Fortune

Written by Bryan Ferry & Johnny Marr

I’m a soldier of fortune

An ambassador of pain

I had the world on a string

Then I threw it all away

 

I’m a prince of illusions

All spinning around in my brain

There’s a mockingbird calling

And this is what he’s saying

 

Girl stop rockin’

You’re driving me insane

I’m going out of my mind

And I won’t be back again

 

I was driving down the street

And I saw you in the rain

Now it’s breaking my heart

And I want you back again

 

I was stirred and shaken

Had a miracle in mind

In the heat of the night

I left it all behind

 

Girl stop rockin’

You’re driving me insane

I’m going out of my mind

And I won’t be back again

I’m a soldier of fortune

An ambassador of pain

I had the world on a string

And I threw it all away

 

Girl stop rockin’

You’re driving me insane

I’m going out of my mind

And I won’t be back again

 

Girl stop rockin’

You’re driving me insane

I’m going out of my mind

And I won’t be back again

 

Girl stop rockin’

You’re driving me insane

I’m going out of my mind

And I won’t be back again

 

I won't be back again
