Libertines Tell The King Lyrics

Tell The King Lyrics

I've got a little secret for ya



Even now there's something

To be proud about you

Come up the hard way

And they'll remind you every day

You're nothing



Oh, my words in your mouth

Are mumbled all about

You're like a, a journalist

How you can cut and paste and twist

You're awful



And tell it to your king

Oh, tell him everything you know

Tell him you know how I feel

Tell him you know I feel the palace gates are

I'm all levered off my face

And just to work out what it's on about

And see snakes in eyes

And all danger signs, oh



If you were late

You mustn't dare complain

And you won't like this at all

There's nothing to break your fall



Oh, tell it to your king

Tell him everything you know

And you know how I feel out of place

Until I'm levered off my face

And I can work out what your on about

Didn't they explain?

You have to play the game, oh, oh



Just drinks and smokes his cares away

His heart is in the lonely way

Living in the ruins

Of a castle built on sand
