Lyrics for 'When I Was King' by '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 Scrap
C
But They'd Run The First Run Of Stamps
D G
People Had Cashed In Their Post Office Savings
C d C
To Buy Some And Lick The Back Of My Neck
(c) D
I Just Let Them Get On With It arrange 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 Assassinate 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>
