I came back to my old city 

With fierce determination 

And I couldn't find my way out of the station 



It's all changed 

You were there 

Departing, starting 

A trek I had once took 

With that "no-one's gonna stop me when I feel this way" look 





Apparent, apparent 

Heir apparent 

You think it's so easy, I tell you - it isn't 

But you may change minds with your winning smile 





I fell down in my old city 

Such sad degradation 

So I tried to make my way back to the station 



You were still there 

Gleaming and leaving 

Wide-eyed and awestruck 

Saying "How can anybody hate me 

If I love them first off ?" 





Apparent, apparent 

Heir apparent 

You think it's so easy, I tell you - it isn't 

But you may change minds with your winning smile 





Heir, heir, heir 

Heir, heir, heir 

Heir, heir, heir 

Heir, heir, heir 

But you may be OK, I don't know 





I'll see you back here 

In a few bruised years 

Pray 

I'll see you here 

I'll see you here 

I'll see you here 





Apparent, apparent 

Heir apparent 

You say that you want it, I'm sure that you'll get it 

They'll seduce your heart and then they'll slap your arse 





Heir, heir, heir 

Heir, heir, heir 

Heir, heir, heir 

Heir, heir, heir
