[2003 CD Edition Bonus Track]
Yeah, you won't get rich today
because they way you woke up was like a perfect failure
you dreamt last night you were the king of the country
whilst the sun was beneath you, burning up Australia
Someday you will be counting up your cars with glee
hoping your life won't end up bent around the belly of the tree
and when the good fairy grants you three wishes they will be
to have as many pound notes as there are fishes in the sea
But as your dream gets sucked away
you get fat and they'll never let on
you're not the cream of the court anymore
she took this king from his queen
now this king is poor
It would be good if you could just quit arguing
it would be good if you could run away and hide
but you go with the wind, and go with the tide
just like any time she murders your pride
You made one error when she called you a king
you looked in the mirror and the mirror said,
"you're not the same as you were before"
the result is plain
now this king is poor
Looking for you between the palace walls
and the tumbled-down halls
and the kitchen grime
anywhere where there's a disco wine
anywhere where there's nighttime swine
anywhere where I can find your kind
and the plaster's in lumps and the paper's peeled
the chairs are in trunks, on the ceilings I can see the cracks
and the holes in the floor
and I am king of this hill of rats
that's why this king is poor
no, I'm not the same as I was before
no one to blame for making this king poor
The king is poor
Del Amitri is a Scottish rock band formed in Glasgow in 1980. The group was founded by Justin Currie, who after playing in a school band, placed an ad in a music store to find musicians to form a new project. The initial lineup included Currie (bass and vocals), Iain Harvie (lead guitar), Bryan Tolland (guitar) and Paul Tyagi (drums). Currie and Harvie are the only members to have remained continuously throughout the band's history, also being the main songwriters. Del Amitri achieved success in the 1990s with albums like "Change the World" and "Twisted", characterized by catchy pop-rock melodies and introspective lyrics. Among their most famous songs are "Always the Last to Know", "The Rest of the Day" and "Someday Soon".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
