Emperor Lyrics - That What Is Not - Public Image Limited

Is there a king that can do no wrong 

When I play my fiddle-will I see you dance 

The crown that sings its very own song 

You crack the whip-and I'll break the lance 

CHORUS 

You make me feel so proud and sure 

You make me feel like an emperor 

So secure from the familiar 

Uncommon sense is the great leveller 

An emperor-we need you 

An emperor-we need you 

Best to flatter the devil-than fight him 

The weak heart hidden-in weaker sin 

An occupation is as good as land 

In you I have a kingdom in the palm of my hand 

CHORUS 

Even a speckle of sand 

Can be dangerous in the right hand 

Don't want to be no inflexible flake 

If I'm standing too brittle-I know that I'll break 

And all the doors-I broke inot 

And all the doors-I opened for you 

And lift the hammer-lift the curse 

I've seen too many crack at the seams 

The chance to put heaven back on earth 

I need the wonder of all my wet dreams 

CHORUS 

Little fears keep us in chains 

And throw away thoughts, flushed down the drains 

Sweet poetry 

CHORUS
