Lyrics Johnny Marr

Johnny Marr

Little King

In the kingdom Fortuna Free Spirit

He's naked in the world and spinning

Making fortunes out of misfortunes

And blasting all over this land

Breaking the souls and the ghosts of my country

Burning the spirits in the space in the cities

Leaving nothing for a new generation

And never with a change of heart

Well you come for action

Catch the wave

And chase the afterglow

I see the whole quid pro quo

Oh but the show must go on

Taking down all of my loving

And breaking up all of my living

Marching into towns and communities

Tearing up all of this land

Well you're no soldier of fortune

In your kingdom Fortuna Free Spirit

Looting all the population

And you're never gonna change your heart

Well you come for action

Catch the waves

And sell the undertow

I see the whole quid pro quo

Subtract compassion

I see the easy come easy go

Out the way

And go with the flow

No action

Catch the waves

And sail the undertow

I see the whole quid pro quo

Subject subtraction

Oversee the easy come easy go

Crash the walls

And sell the undergrowth

I know it's all the know who you know

Take terrain

The whole quid pro quo

Oh but the show must go on
