lirik lagu when i was king – graham parker
pre>capo at 2 intro:?
g g c em
when i was king i was not really the man i am now
g am g c
i was like anyone sitting on a throne made out of china
g g c em
when i was king i had already abdicated
c am g c
already melted my crown down to sell as scr-p
c
but they’d run the first run of stamps
d g
people had cashed in their post office savings
cd c
to buy some and lick the back of my neck
(c) d
i just let them get on with itarrange the coronation
g c
i just didn’t turn up, i just didn’t turn up
you became queen to a regime of fixed ideas
the subjects just outlines like figures in a shadow cabinet
and then we ruled over some green and pleasant land
with a frog and a princess not necessarily in that order
but if you want it to be what you want it to be
you’ll have to dethrone me or have me decapitated
i didn’t want to be king anyway i always preferred to hang out
with the servants, the servants
when i was king
when i was king there was no country left to rule
jesters and fools were leaders all of them a royal pain
now i’m a serf but i’m still trying to be a king
but putting the crown on is like putting a silk purse on a sow’s ear
and if i want it to be like i want it to be
i’ll have to -ss-ssinate someone with a guitar as a gun
on it’s good to be king i know that i’ve been there
g g
many, many, many, many kingdoms ago when i was king
repeat when i when i over g and c /pre>
