King Of London Lyrics - Waterboys

Bobby is the ace of hearts 

Karen is the queen 

Joe is the knight of the working class 

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
