LYRICS

-- LEAD LYRICS --

You ask me what I want from life
But my reply won't please
All the latest rags and riches
Wouldn't do that much for me maybe
I decline the grand design
Deny the finest girl
Bring me gifts from three wise men
I'll throw them right back at the world
If I was king of England
We'd run through the palace naked
Shed the gowns and crack the crowns
But deem the flowers to be sacred
No we'd never take the throne
On the floor we're quite at home
Skimming stones on royal lakes
Oh what a monarchy we'd make together
Don't ask me what I want from life
Or what I stand and fight for
I've nothing to believe in
There's no one thing I would die for
Maybe I'd be fine on the front line
Run screaming into danger
Laughing dots on no man's land
While killing cold some perfect stranger
If I was king of Camelot
And confidence enabled
With Excalibur in hand
I'd carve your name into the table
Tell the jester jokes instead
Let the knights go home to bed
We'll help the lady out the lake
Oh what a kingdom we'd create together
Easier said than done
Far better done than said
And when the war is won
Will victory revive the dead
Why kick down the open door
Hide behind the velvet glove
I'll take me back to times
Before we scattered the ashes of love
If I was half an artist
I'd paint half the perfect picture
If you preach the word of God
I'll smudge the ink of every scripture
May we all be born again
But never your way
Now a man will taste the fruit of any tree
Oh what a masterpiece we'd weave together
Somehow dare you dare to dream
Of better worlds that could have been
Of fairy tales and hearts divine
Start mixing myth with modern times
Somehow dare you dare to look
'Cause wisdom burns the holy books
The pages torn the roaring fire
The final gunshot war attires
Somehow dare you dare for more
Than steady jobs and corridors
And Friday nights out of the house
Elusive friends the one night spouse
Somehow dare you dare to love
The times have changed enough's enough
Your boy- eyed dreams sit dead and cracked
Don't carry them 'round on your back
If I was half the man I was
Before I was a mad one
Would you be my queen again
At least I'd never been a bad one
With my lust for life reclaimed
Do you think you'd feel the same
If I called you would you come
We can be foolish blind and young together
We could be young forever
We could be young together
