Kim Wilde - King of the World 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
