| Welcome to the great republic
|
| Guess I should show you round
|
| Where once I was a king
|
| And now I am a clown
|
| The love that we once shared
|
| Made a king of me But now you’re gone… but now you’re gone
|
| All I face is poverty
|
| …King without a heart
|
| …King without a hope
|
| …King without a woman baby
|
| Oh I’m a king without a crown
|
| …King without a heart
|
| …King without a hope
|
| …King without a woman baby
|
| Oh I’m a king without a crown
|
| Hell hath no fury
|
| Like a woman scorned
|
| But heaven don’t boast — no heaven don’t boast
|
| The jewel — the pretty jewel I just pawned
|
| Every cloud has a silver lining
|
| Every dog has its day
|
| Oh but I guess the sun stopped shining
|
| On the day you went away
|
| …King without a heart
|
| …King without a hope
|
| …King without a woman baby
|
| Oh I’m a king without a crown
|
| …King without a heart
|
| …King without a hope
|
| …King without a woman baby
|
| Oh I’m a king without a crown
|
| …King without a heart
|
| …King without a hope
|
| …King without a woooman baby
|
| Yes I’m a king — king! |
| King without a crown
|
| Bathed in former glory
|
| Deposed from my throne
|
| How do I get to tell my story?
|
| When all I get’s your answerphone…
|
| But you ain’t home
|
| With the love you gave
|
| I felt like royalty
|
| But now you’re face to face — face to face
|
| With one ex-member of the aristocracy
|
| There’s no need to feel down
|
| Yeah just take a look around
|
| You’ll see a man who’s just a man
|
| Nothing more
|
| A king without a crown |
