(4.49)

Ten Thousand princes

I've seen them all

I've seen them come

And I've seen them fall

I've watched them win

I've watched them loose

Since you've been around

No-one gets to choose

Because when the game begins

And the time is now

When there is no more talking

Only here and now

There is only here and now

I ain't seen anything quite like you

Ain't been anyone quite like you

Then Thousand princes

All backs against the wall

Then Thousand loosers

When the winner comes to call

How they scream in frustration

Ten thousand reasons why

The rhetoric is endless

I see the laughter in your eyes

Because when the game begins

And the time is now

When there is no more talking

Only here and now

Only here and now

I ain't seen anything quite like you

Ain't been anyone quite like you
