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







...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



...king without a heart



...king without a hope



...king without a woman baby



Yes i'm a king - king! king without a crown







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







...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







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
