King for a Day (Extended Mix) - Thompson Twins

There's no way I'm coming back to you I've just stopped to say That everything we did is through You tried to undermine The better ranges of my nature But soon you're going to find You should have started talking straighter Now don't you worry I won't put you down I'm in no hurry, baby To see you go to ground Because it's true what they say You know it's true what they say You're only king for a day I guess you're happy that way Well there's no hope For peace and reconciliation You're quick to play your hand But what you haven't learnt is patience So look before you leap To tell the world your coloured story It's clear your talk is cheap You'd do anything to get your glory So spread your wings and fly There is no doubt You're so sorry inside you've got something to shout about Because it's true what they say You know it's true what they say You're only king for a day I guess you're happy that way And there's no love Ever to be lost between us I guess this is because The damage that you've done is so grievous So I hang my head To dwell on what might have been But what you left instead Is pieces of a broken dream Now don't you worry I won't put you down I'm in no hurry, baby To see you go to ground Because it's true what they say You know it's true what they say You're only king for a day I guess you're happy that way So spread your wings and fly There is no doubt You're so sorry inside you've Got something to, something to shout about Because it's true what they say You know it's true what they say You're only king for a day I guess you're happy that way Don't you see that you're only king for a day You must believe that

Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge? I bet you never had a Friday night like this Keep it up, keep it up, let's raise our hands I take a look up at the sky and I see red Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide Everything red Please, won't you push me for the last time Let's scream until there's nothing left So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore The thought of you's no fucking fun You want a martyr, I'll be one Because enough's enough, we're done You told me think about it, well I did Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore I'm tired of begging for the things that I want I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor The thing I think I love Will surely bring me pain Intoxication, paranoia, and a lot of fame Three cheers for throwing up Pubescent drama queen You make me sick, I make it worse by drinking late Scream until there's nothing left So sick of playing, I don't want to anymore The thought of you's no fucking fun You want a martyr I'll be one Because enough's enough, we're done You told me think about it, well I did Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore I'm tired of begging for the things that I want I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor Imagine living like a king someday A single night without a ghost in the walls And if the bass shakes the earth underground We'll start a new revolution now (Now! Alright here we go) Hail Mary, forgive me Blood for blood, hearts beating Come at me, now this is war! Fuck with this new beat Oh! Now terror begins inside a bloodless vein I was just a product of the street youth rage Born in this world without a voice or say Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain I know you well but this ain't a game Blow the smoke in diamond shape Dying is a gift so close your eyes and rest in peace You told me think about it, well I did Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore I'm tired of begging for the things that I want I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor Imagine living like a king someday A single night without a ghost in the walls We are the shadows screaming take us now We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground Shit

Šutnja je često jača i od riječi, Ali pjesma ruši sve. Tuku na me vjetrovi razni, Al' ne dam se zbog tebe, Tuku na me vjetrovi razni, Al' ne dam se zbog tebe, Sine moj. Znam da sa tvojim pogledom toplim Vidiš u meni sve, Al' i ja tebe gledam k'o nebo I živim za tebe, Al' i ja tebe gledam k'o nebo I živim za tebe, Sine moj. Neka na putu tvom vodi te Bog, Izdati nećeš tad ti roda svog. Samo je vjera sačuvala mene, Ljubio sam Boga, a on mi dao tebe, Sine moj. Neka u tvom srcu uvijek ima mjesta Za dobre ljude sve, Koji pod svetim barjakom idu Kroz javu i kroz sne, Koji pod svetim barjakom idu Kroz javu i kroz sne. Šutnja je često jača i od riječi, Ali pjesma ruši sve. I tebe će tući vjetrovi razni, Al' ne daj da slome te, I tebe će tući vjetrovi razni, Al' ne daj da slome te, Sine moj. Neka na putu tvom vodi te Bog, Izdati nećeš tad ti roda svog. Samo je vjera sačuvala mene, Ljubio sam Boga, a on mi dao tebe... Neka na putu tvom vodi te Bog, Izdati nećeš tad ti roda svog. Samo je vjera sačuvala mene, Ljubio sam Boga, a on mi dao tebe, Sine moj.

Volim tvoj smijeh Kad u oku zlatni koralj imaš O, zar je grijeh sto ponekad, dok te gledam Zamišljam da te skidam Sve je tako jednostavno Kao more, dan i noc Dok uz mene se privijaš mazno Znam ljubav je to, ljubav je to Tebe je lako voljeti, kao disati zrak I svaki tren sa tobom je nebeski dar Tebi je lako pjevati, pogadjati sne Nikom na svijetu nije bilo lakše reći volim te I kad me ne diraš Kolaš mi kroz vene I kao neka plava rijeka si I strujiš, strujiš kroz mene Sve je tako jednostavno Kao more, dan i noc Dok uz mene se privijaš mazno Znam ljubav je to, ljubav je to Tebe je lako voljeti, kao disati zrak I svaki tren sa tobom je nebeski dar Tebi je lako pjevati, pogadjati sne Nikom na svijetu nije bilo lakse reći volim te.
