Tell The King
Royal Revelations: Unmasking the Secrets of 'Tell The King'
Lyrics
I've got a little secret for you
I possess a confidential piece of information for you
Even now there's something to be proud about
Even now, there's something to take pride in
You'll come up the hard way
You'll achieve success through hard work
And they'll remind you every day, "you're nothing"
People will constantly remind you of your humble origins, saying "you're nothing"
My words in your mouth are mumbled all about
My words, spoken through you, are unclear and indistinct
You're like a journalist
You resemble a journalist
No you can't cut and paste and twist
You cannot manipulate and distort information as journalists often do
You're awful
You are terrible or unpleasant
And tell it to your king
Convey this message to your king
Go on and tell him everything you know
Share everything you know with him
Tell him you know how I feel
Inform him that you understand my emotions
Tell him you know how I feel at the palace gates
Tell him you comprehend my feelings at the palace gates
I'm all levered off my face
I am heavily intoxicated
And just to work out what it's on about
Trying to decipher the meaning of the situation
I can see snakes in eyes
I perceive deceit or treachery in the eyes of others
And danger signs
Observing warning signs of danger
If you were late
If you are late
You mustn't dare complain
Do not complain; it won't be pleasant for you
Oh, you won't like this at all
You won't appreciate this situation
There's nothing to break your fall
There's nothing to prevent your downfall
Tell it to your king
Convey this message to your king again
Tell him everything you know
Tell him all the information you possess
And you know how I feel out of place
Express that I feel out of place
Until I'm levered off my face
Until I am heavily intoxicated
And I can work out what she's on about
Trying to comprehend what she is talking about
Didn't they explain?
Wasn't it explained to you?
You have to play the game
You must engage in the societal game
Jack drinks and smokes his cares away
Jack copes with his troubles by drinking and smoking
His heart is in a lonely way
His heart is in a state of loneliness
Living in the ruins of a castle built on sand
Living in the remains of a castle constructed on unstable ground
