Testo King Richard I - Up With People

Testo della canzone King Richard I (Up With People), tratta dall'album Time for the Music

I am the king

I have always been the king

I will always be the king

King Richard the First, old Henry's son

Known as Lionheart, alias K-I-One

Enjoying my reign, all the glory and show

'Til an urgent call came and I had to go

Asked my brother John while I was away

To keep an eye on the throne, brother John said "Okay"

With my sword in the air, I started my tour

Boy, if I'd only known what was in store

Richard, oh, Richard, courageous and strong

Who'd ever think it could all go wrong? (It's invaluable!)

But all of your horses and all of your men

Couldn't put you back on the throne again

Well, you can't win 'em all

Now while I was fighting for the glory of God

Back at home there was something odd

I suspect brother John had ideas of his own

To take my kingdom and take my throne

He had friends to the palace for a little French wine

Sounded like a plan to steal me blind

Put my spur to the fur and I rode like fire

'Cause I had to get home or be forced to retire

Richard, oh, Richard, courageous and strong (Yeah)

Who'd ever think it could all go wrong?

(And what goes around comes around)

But all of your horses and all of your men

Couldn't put you back on the throne again

I tell you, some people just don't have any gratitude

I was the king before he was the king

And now he's there trying to be the king

But I'm still the king

Riding home to Austria, putting down the hammer

Got stopped for speeding and thrown in the slammer

Two years before the ransom was paid

Two years, I say, before they came to my aid

I asked my friends, "Why so slow with the bail?"

(Oh, you know how it is with the bail)

Well, I'll tell you one thing, I'll tell you two things

I wrote this song and it's gonna sell a trillion

And I'm keeping all the royalties, yeah

'Cause I'm the king
