Heir Apparent
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.
I came back to my old city
With fierce determination
And I couldn't find my way out of the station
It's all changed
You were there
Departing, starting
A trek I had once took
With that no-one's gonna stop me
When I feel this way look
Apparent, apparent
Heir apparent
You think it's so easy, I tell you: It isn't
But you may change minds
With your winning smile
I fell down in my old city
Such sad degradation
So I tried to make my way
Back to the station
You were still there
Gleaming and leaving
Wide-eyed and awestruck
Saying : How can anybody hate me
If I love them first off?
Apparent, apparent
Heir apparent
You think it's so easy, I tell you: It isn't
But you may change minds
With your winning smile
Heir, heir, heir
Heir, heir, heir
Heir, heir, heir
Heir, heir, heir
But you may be ok, I don't know
I'll see you back here
In a few bruised years
Pray
I'll see you here
I'll see you here
I'll see you here
Apparent, apparent
Heir apparent
You say that you want it
I'm sure that you'll get it
They'll seduce your heart
And then they'll slap your arse
Heir, heir, heir
Heir, heir, heir
Heir, heir, heir
Heir, heir, heir
