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 youre gone... but now youre gone

All I face is poverty


...king without a heart

...king without a hope

...king without a woman baby

Oh Im a king without a crown

...king without a heart

...king without a hope

...king without a woman baby

Oh Im a king without a crown


Hell hath no fury

Like a woman scorned

But heaven dont boast - no heaven dont 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 Im a king without a crown

...king without a heart

...king without a hope

...king without a woman baby

Oh Im a king without a crown

...king without a heart

...king without a hope

...king without a woman baby

Yes Im 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 gets your answerphone...

But you aint home


With the love you gave

I felt like royalty

But now youre 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 Im a king without a crown

...king without a heart

...king without a hope

...king without a woman baby

Oh Im a king without a crown


Theres no need to feel down

Yeah just take a look around

Youll see a man whos just a man

Nothing more

A king without a crown
