Kate Bush - The King Is Dead lyrics

(P.Cox/R.Drummie)

Go West's album "Dancing On The Couch" (1987) (backing vocals)

The king is dead

No doubt about it

We came a long way

Just to say goodbye

And in the end

It was some old swansong

The king is dead

You'd never know it

But we got pictures

Of a different man

He's flesh and blood

No-one knows all the answers

Some days we just do the best we can

You changed my mind in a minute

It breaks my heart to admit it

Don't make me say...

The king is dead

The show is over

We came a long way

Just to turn around

Lesson learned

No-one knows all the answers

Some days we just do the best we can

You changed my mind in a minute

It breaks my heart to admit it

Don't make me say...

You let me in behind the lies

But you're no use to me lifesize

No-one's to blame

Some days we just do the best we can
