Lyrics for King Is White And In The Crowd - John Peel Session / 1982

Talking about the book of life Languid from an era gone She gives him the book of men The king is white in the crown They are now the empty lot Seen on silver tapestries She gives him the book of men The king is white in the crown She takes his hand She says she'll stay She's lost in the crown Wire him up, fire him up Life and times are patrolled Wire him up, fire him up Life and times are patrolled Lovers run cat-papercut The walls in town are severed eyes She gives him the book of men The king is white in the crown Pine robbers steal life You can dance, clap, and waste time She gives him the book of men The king is white in the crown She takes his hand She says she'll stay She's lost in the crown Wire him up, fire him up Life and times are patrolled Wire him up, go fire him up Life and times are patrolled Short and thin and black in the knees Rhapsody in black and blue She gives him the book of men The king is white in the crown Love lies on the western isles Powerful dance lines the earth She gives him the book of men The king is white in the crown She takes his hand She says she'll stay She's lost in the crown Wire him up, fire him up Life and times are patrolled Wire him up, fire him up Life and times are patrolled Lost in the crown Lost in the crown Lost in the crown Lost in the crown Lost in the crown Lost in the crown
