King Of Jordan Lyrics - Singles - Conway Deborah

Deborah Conway and Richard Pleasance 

He is friends with everyone 

And everybody is his friend 

The stakes are high but he is sure 

They will be loyal to the end 

What wouldn't we do with friends like that 

Walk to the edge of the precipice 

Balance like a dancer in her finest hour 

I don't want to be the King of Jordan 

I don't want to be the King of Jordon 

We are humbled by the sight 

Of crown and sceptre in its glory 

Tall dark handsome and polite 

Makes such a pretty cover story 

But the fence that he's been sitting on is not so strong 

And the line that he's been taking is not so straight 

And there's blind curves all down this road 

Are you so sure of where you stand 

When you're the centre of attention 

As fame and fortune hover round 

The unbelievers appetite is whetted 

And long knives are easy to conceal 

And a smile hides a multitude of sins 

And I don't like the way you're looking at me
