Kim Wilde King of the World song lyrics

There’s something nasty and it’s sticking on my shoe

It’s trying to take over most everything I do

How did it happen that it stuck inside my throat

I didn’t count on this when I was asked to vote

I watch them slide around the corridors of power

Too busy stealing while they take away what’s ours

You want respect, don’t make me laugh when you deceive us

My favourite Dutchy, why’d you ever have to leave us

Cooler than you

No one’s cooler than you

All the things that you’d do

If you were king of the world

We would all play guitar

We would all be a star

With our beautiful king of the world

Beautiful king of the world

A clap of thunder now they’ve taken you away

And now the world is crying every single day

How could you leave us all to face the stormy weather

I guess you knew that we’d be strong enough together

Why do they leave the bad and take away the good

You were no angel but we all knew where we stood

We’re on the guest list and there’s passes on the door

We’re gonna rock’n’roll before we hit the floor

Cooler than you

No one’s cooler than you

All the things that you’d do

If you were king of the world

We would all play guitar

We would all be a star

With our beautiful king of the world

Beautiful king of the world

Cooler than you

Beautiful king of the world

Beautiful king of the world
