lyrics

President Of The Blues

I SAT ON THAT AEROPLANE – SUN ifK INTO MY SEAT
THE HOSTIE WITH THE TROLLEY CAME – SAID “SIR WHAT WILL IT BE?”
I SAID “GIVE ME SOMETHING STRONG TO EASE MY PAIN,
OR GIVE ME LOVE SO I CAN SING AGAIN”

I FOUND MYSELF IN AMSTERDAM – LOOKING FOR SOME CHEER
BUT ALL THEY GOT IN AMSTERDAM – IS GIRLS AND DOPE AND BEER
I KNEW GIRLS AND DOPE AND BEER WOULD EASE MY PAIN
BUT I WANTED LOVE SO I COULD SING AGAIN

WELL EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD KNOWS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO LOSE
BUT I’M THE KING, THE MINISTER, THE PRESIDENT OF THE BLUES

YEAH I’M THE KING, THE MINISTER, THE PRESIDENT OF THE BLUES
I’M THE KING OF A TINY LAND – DRUNK ON EXPENSIVE BOOZE
I’M THE DISGRACED MINISTER WITH NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
I’M THE 12 BAR PRESIDENT – THE PRESIDENT OF THE BLUES

PLEASE DON’T CALL ME NOAH – I DON’T DO THINGS IN TWOS
IF I SING A LOVE SONG FOR YA – SOUNDS LIKE A BURNING ZOO
WHEN I WRITE AN HONEST LETTER – READS LIKE SCOOBY FRICKIN DOO
YEAH I’M THE KING, MINISTER, PRESIDENT OF THE BLUES

I’M A HAS BEEN DANCER – HOLES IN MY DANCING SHOES
I’M A COKED UP SHERLOCK HOLMES – LOOKING FOR A CLUE
I’M THE FAMILY SCALLYWAG – MAKING UP MY NEWS
I’M THE KING, THE MINISTER, THE PRESIDENT OF THE BLUES
