Mew - King Christian Lyrics






1577 there was born a king of architectual passion
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, pour 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 you
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...

All I do is run tonight
Even twice as sweet but half as bright
If I didn't know my luck
Listen to the clock's last ticking tock

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

  1. R.... R....

    I love the piano

  2. J.... F....

    Always sounded like the intro to an anime to me.

  3. A.... G....

    I prefer this version than the album

  4. m.... ....

    Out of the two versions, I love the outro of this one.

  5. C.... G....

    I like this version better

  6. C.... C....

    Whoa! Blast from the past, maaaaan

  7. o.... ....

    hahahaha is it bad that this is the first version i heard? got into mew through my sister at about age 11. 18 now, eh i guess I got a lot to learn

  8. W.... I....

    I prefer the "half the world is watching me" version. but the backdrop is... weird. In a positive way.

  9. s.... ....

    @williamgatesenson

    This is not a remix. It's a different version of the song. It was rerecorded by Mew themselves for their 2003 international release of Frengers. But was only put on the Japanese 2 CD set version of the album.

  10. g.... ....

    This version is really growing on me, I love the intro :)

  11. E.... ....

    CopenHHHAAAAGEEEN! Saturday MOooooOORning!

    :P :)

  12. w.... ....

    is this the coldplay remix or something?

    this is like my favorite song of theirs. if i saw them live and they played this version instead of the other i'd be sad. its not bad but the other version is soooooooo much better

  13. a.... ....

    it's the same; just a different version

  14. E.... ....

    oops its not "mica" i was thikning of, it was "Saliva" =P songs too close together on album @_@

  15. E.... ....

    idk, in my opinion i think this ones slightly better =3 but its all about taste i guess. i just like this one because its a bit less like "Mica" and i always got those 2 songs mixed up at first. i can tell this one apart hehehehe

  16. d.... ....

    Does this song have a different name? Or is just King Chrstian like the older one...

  17. p.... ....

    i'm starting to think they only really wrote 20 songs in their entire career, they just rerecord everything for 5 year spans...

  18. f.... ....

    They did play in Tivoli? - But maybe you mean "They should've played IT in Tivoli" ;) - Then yea, they should've ... Btw great show in Tivoli ^^

  19. w.... ....

    wonderfull love it. they should have played in tivoli. but wonderfull

  20. f.... ....

    AGREED! :P - Well... Mew is the best ^^

  21. A.... D....

    I love this version a lot more. Jonas has much more of a strong driving-force voice in it. Not to say the original version isnt outstanding, This version just makes me feel happier =)

    I'm fairly convinced that if you dont like Mew, you dont have a soul. =]

  22. A.... ....

    That was an awesome video!
    Even though i personally like the original version of King Christian better, it is still a great song.

  23. B.... Y....

    COOOOOL!! did they remake the song?? i haven't heard this version~ but it's sooooo much better!!
