Текст песни: The Ballad of Jimmy King + перевод

so he wakes up under this lonely bridge his home

an old scruffy jacket and a hut is all that he owns

he dreams to sleep in a house

where his wife covers him with love

his children are playing hide-and-seek in the backyard

he goes to the restaurant his empty stomach leads him there

but the owner screams to call the police — get out of here

he dreams to sit at a rich table where the waitress brings him some wine

he lights up a cigar and covers his eyes from the sunshine

Jimmy in your world you are the king

Jimmy in your world you don’t have to care about a thing

and you wear gentle clothes and a bright shining crown

everybody seems to know you in the whole town

so he goes to the place where all the artists meet

the musicians are singing and dancing in the street

he dreams to stand in the spotlight

and everybody loves him

he sings songs of an old poor ma having a dream

Jimmy in your world you are the king

Jimmy in your world you don’t have to care about a thing

and you wear gentle clothes and a bright shining crown

everybody seems to know you in the whole town

Jimmy in your world you are the king

Jimmy in your world you don’t have to care about a thing

and you wear gentle clothes and a bright shining crown

everybody seems to know you in the whole town
