The Waterboys - King Of London lyrics

Bobby is the ace of hearts Karen is the queen Joe is the knight of the working cla** With multi-coloured jeans Ginger and rose work for unicef Ride around on a tandem Me i walk on air Because i'm the king of london Alan lives in bethnal green His brother gets into fights Tony lives in billericay Talks politics every night Sheila worked for meals on wheels Until the council made her redundant I'm a self made man Because i'm the king of london I'm the king of london I'm the king of london Don't need speed to make me run I can look straight into the sun Because i'm the king of london town Keith marched for the right to work Nothing really changed Man at the bottom was still underground Face at the top was the same After all our well made plans What went wrong i wonder And i'm not allowed to ask questions anyway Because i'm the king of london Bobby is the ace of hearts Karen is the queen Freedom to be who they really are Is something they've never seen Whether they make it whether they break Or whether they just go under I'm not allowed to surrender anyway Because i'm the king of london I'm the king of london I'm the king of london Don't need speed to make me run I can look straight into the sun Because i'm the king of london town
