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
