Prince of Spades

(album: Who Are We Living For? - 2000)

coming back coming home the queen of love enters the room
silence ensues... to the king what have you done to my life
did you take me for a fool or for a wife

and the king is in his court
counting all his diamonds
one by one they do fall

says the queen our pride the prince of spades is coming home
it'd be nice if you could spend some time alone
after all he's in line for the throne

and the king is in his court
counting all his diamonds
one by one they do fall

so now just get up off you ass and
leave all your treasures behind
your son is coming home with you to spend time
show him how a good king should be
and don't ever forget the day
when you turned back on him and me
still I stayed
