LYRICS

DENMARK STREET:

Sad stretch of water, sad piece of land

Nobody's walking to freedom ,they're just lying there

Trapped by a quick hand.

They wake up every morning, coats heavy with rain

They go down to the factory floor , or they walk home again

Later on they go drinking , talk of diamonds and jewels

And the one giving the sermon He's the king of the fools.

CHORUS:

Can you hear him, King of the Fools , King of the Fools

Take me out before I get mad

At this King of the Fools.

Burn the chair that they sat upon , To heat the floor they're lying on

Nobody wants tomorrow ,They're just lying there

Trapped by a quick hand.

She bows down and begs for forgiveness , for taking her Valium pills

While the Architect who designed the boxes , Lives up on Castletroy Hill

The parish council slips a Cherry , Armed with prayers and rules

And the one with all the answers, Is the king of the fools.

Hold on Honey, I can hear a war beat, In a town that doesn't speak

But I remember laughing a lot , laughing a lot

Down Denmark Street.

The swingers dine in a up town bar , at the rent collector's Ball

Nobody is making a scene , They're just lying there

Waiting for a fall.

They all agree that it's cheaper to fly , up to their eyes in red

And they all agree that the diamond Lady, is one good body in bed

But Rose takes them out of school , Shows them all she knows

And the one paying for the lessons, Is the king of the fools .

Naughty But Nice:

Drinking a bottle of Chile Wine, Hot pepper sunrise coming on time

There's a girl in the corner throwing a shape ,

He's smoking a cigar in that late night place

She moves over kind of easy and slow

And goes ...... Naughty but Nice.

The Piano player has left for the night , hot dusty wind outside not right

She leans over and takes a sip

And on his glass just leaves a trace of her lip

There's nothing now between them but sin

She goes .... Naughty but Nice .

CHORUS:

Play it again one more time , so he can hear you

What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this

So many nights, so many places, so many strangers

You had your chance long before the dawn.
