Franz Ferdinand
King of the Song
[Intro]
He would lean into my cradle
Rest an revolver on an infant cheek
[Pre-Chorus]
Speeding and singing
Singing and speeding
Speeding, singing
My infancy to sleep
Well, I can hear his voice again
And I can hear his song
The singing is gone
[Chorus]
Nobody sings like my daddy sang
He was the King of the Song
Nobody sings like my daddy sang
I know that I had to sing
The way that my daddy sang
[Verse 1]
Do you know what it's like to be born to a legend?
To be born to a freak?
To face expectation from your first crowning peak at the world?
An umbilical peak at this hideous
[Bridge]
Fame-ridden world
Where I hear his song
Singing he's gone
[Chorus]
Nobody sings like my daddy sang
He was the King of the Song
Nobody sings like my daddy sang
I know that I'll never to sing
The way that my daddy sang
The way that my daddy sang
[Verse 2]
I am the King of the song
I am the King of the song
I am the King, the King of the song
I am the King of the song
I am the King of the song
I am the King, the King of the song
I am the King of the song
I am the King of the song
I am the King, the King of the song
I am the King of the song
I am the King of the song
I am the King of the song
[Verse 3]
What do you mean you don't know my singer?
What do you mean that you don't know his song?
He was speeding and singing
Singing and speeding
Speeding, singing
Come on, let's sing along
[Outro]
You can beat his heart again
When you sing his song
Although he's gone
