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
Bathed in former glory
deposed from my throne
how do i get to tell my story?
when all 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
