    Every song is a perfectly polished diamond. Their back catalogue is more valuable than the crown jewels.

    King Without a Crown
    ABC
    Year: 1987
    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 woooman 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 I 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
    ...King without a heart
    ...King without a hope
    ...King without a woooman baby
    Yes I'm a king - king! 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

  • @2war2bray
    @2war2bray 3 года назад +29

    I don't think ABC ever really recorded a bad song, they were all mostly first class offerings. They had a definite niche in the 80's with their music and style and stood out as a quality band. As fun as the 80's was, there were without doubt quite a few amateurish bands. ABC was not one of those.

Some of the newer groups should take note of what worked so well then that we still appreciate it now! Thanks for sharing with fans on RUclips :)
