Brand New Emperor's Clothes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Loverboy went all around the world
Making eyes at every other girl
Now we see he publicly caress
Lost in narcissistic tenderness
Everybody knows your name
Everybody knows your game
Chorus ~
Who is this fallen to the ground
And he's always hanging `round
Dress me up in a fool's disguise
Wipe the wool across my eyes
Silly bloody coffee table man
Golden tounge is tied and in the can
And this black eyed feeling
Over you is stealing
In your cell you're squealing
At the hand their dealing
Chorus +
Who is this leader of the pack
Someone please just send him back
Pretty maids all stand in rows
To touch the brand new emperor's clothes
Chorus +
Who is this leader of the pack
Someone please just send him back
Pretty maids all stand in rows
To touch the brand new emperor's clothes
Pretty maids all stand in rows
To touch the brand new emperor's clothes
Who is this fallen to the ground
He's always hanging `round
Pretty maids all stand in rows
To touch the brand new emperor's clothes
