King Christian Lyrics - Half The World Is Watching Me - Mew

1577, there was born a king 

Of architectural passion, conquerer and artist 

Placed in dire peril, he would stand tall and erect 

In retrospect 

All I do is run tonight 

Even twice as sweet but half as bright 

I did not intend 

To impersonate a friend 

If I didn't know my luck 

Listen to the clock's last ticking tock 

I shall ascend at last 

Like a question never asked 

Think him not so good natured 

Oh no, not the slightest bit 

Quite the opposite 

Because even though he would build things 

He onto his queen was mean 

Poor Anna Katherine, she's crying 

All I do is run tonight 

Even twice as sweet but half as bright 

I did not intend to impersonate a friend 

I could not remain your friend 

Lest it would have made a difference then 

Could it possibly? 

Well, no thanks to you and me 

Hey, this is the king speaking to ya 

Bet you didn't think I'd make it this far 

But I know you all remember old Christian 

I was number 4, you see 

And people will think of me and say 

"A good king, he" and cry
