I was just a kid with a bass guitar

Burning ambition

Just a kid on a shooting star

Man with a mission

Nobody told me life up here

Was an endless vacation

Hope I get old before I die

M m my degeneration



All the King's horses and all the King's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again



You just sit on the fence afraid of the past

No plan for the future

Watching the world go by so fast Just do what suits you

Nobody told me life up here

Was an endless vacation

Hope I get old before I die

M m my degeneration



All the King's horses and all the King's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again



I'm still the kid with the bass guitar

Still got ambition

But you tie me down with these golden chains

Too many conditions

Just give me a stage, give me four strings

And someone to listen

Give me a song any fool could sing

And the right musicians



All the King's horses and all the King's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again
