this is so good, the lyrics are amazing and the melody is just dreamy, but I agree with others, his record album is not as good as this, this is just great :)
You're the nose on my bullet The trigger on my gun You're the sandbank in the ocean Oxygen in my blood You're the fastest of the fish You're the prickliest pear You're a chameleon in the night You're the sahara's sun glare You're my mind's rest You're the strings on my guitar You're the wax in my moustache The keys to my car You're the magical mermaid's hollowed illusion You cool them, fool them And they hope so much And you let them down And you watch from your rock And your heart beats fast as you watch their's stop I will keep on loving 'Cos I believe in love I don't mind dying If you follow me up Your victory's your defeat Your head above your heart Only the brave surrender Death cannot tear us apart Well my smile is wider Than your's when we meet And the winter is colder For me underneath And I know that you glow From the inside out You can keep it for yourself And I'll go without You are the fire and I'm the chimney You'll burn away and I'll choke on your memory All the words, my sense, you're the poet to my pen You're the dream that brings the morning sadness Start the day storm in my head Well you're the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcase You're positively 4th street isolated in my itunes You're the word in the dictionary that I can't spell Can't describe, can't put in a sentence but use all the time Your own pair of trousers look better on me The boots of spanish leather And the bottom of the sea Every symbol of love that doesn't relate to a meaning Every feeling, every sensation Only real when I'm dreaming I will keep on loving 'Cos I believe in love I don't mind dying If you follow me up Your victory's your defeat Your head above your heart Only the brave surrender Death cannot tear us apart Well I wish we were animals free of loves games I wish we were snails with really big shells I wish I was a lion, I'd be king of the wild I'd command all the beasts to carry you when you're tired I'm the elephant in the circus Oh, you're my trainer You'd never let me go But if you did I would stay here In love there is freedom But it must be returned There must be sacrifice Love must be learnt A donkey, a mule, a lifetime of work In death he rests his head from his reins No burden to bare but work left him lame And the lion on the mountain chased from his pride His lioness stolen, his rival survives The sound of his cubs in death are dim He knows his world well, no pain can defeat him Wild horses in the wilderness Will know no journey home Well my love is locked in chains The lion walks alone Oh the lion walks alone Nature is cruel But he knows it's his home He to his demons And you to your own Please let me stand by you And we'll conquer them all We will conquer them all Oh I will conquer them all (x3)
I've actually listened to his album through discovering songs like "Love Lust" and "Bam Bam", and I like his stuff alot. But I must say, Ivory Road might be my favorite of his.
Brilliant ... King Charles you are Magnifico .. and so unique ... and I love the way it was shot too .. and the pan to the streets and back to the finish .. and the topper was the bit of Brit chat at the end. You lads are on to something Grand ... so Glad I stumbled upon your vid ! Cheers ....
I'm not a big fan of Men with that much.... hair....but somehow he's making it work for him. Love the music i've been singing this on and off for days. ^^
his lyrics don't make any sense, yet the song is so addictive.... and it's a shame that a person like Justin Bieber with no talents has millions of views yet a great artist like King Charles doesn't even hit 300,000. I fear for humanity
I watch this whenever I need to smile. So many times.
I can't even listen to this on spotify, this version is top teir!
Such a beautiful video even 11 years later
Found this guy on Spotify and I'm hooked. Freaking AMAZING lyrics.
This probably ought to come back
saw him live with mumford & sons back in november of 2010.and I just cant get enough of him. I also met him and he was one of the nicest people.
This is the sweetest song to be told to listen to 3
This has to be a recording..its just too beautiful to be recorded in a car..
still the best song ever
Never a more perfect man. The hair, the moustache, the music, the singing, everything.
this is so good, the lyrics are amazing and the melody is just dreamy, but I agree with others, his record album is not as good as this, this is just great :)
He looks like he's in his own world when he's singing/playing.
You're the nose on my bullet
The trigger on my gun
You're the sandbank in the ocean
Oxygen in my blood
You're the fastest of the fish
You're the prickliest pear
You're a chameleon in the night
You're the sahara's sun glare
You're my mind's rest
You're the strings on my guitar
You're the wax in my moustache
The keys to my car
You're the magical mermaid's hollowed illusion
You cool them, fool them
And they hope so much
And you let them down
And you watch from your rock
And your heart beats fast as you watch their's stop
I will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
I don't mind dying
If you follow me up
Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
Only the brave surrender
Death cannot tear us apart
Well my smile is wider
Than your's when we meet
And the winter is colder
For me underneath
And I know that you glow
From the inside out
You can keep it for yourself
And I'll go without
You are the fire and I'm the chimney
You'll burn away and I'll choke on your memory
All the words, my sense, you're the poet to my pen
You're the dream that brings the morning sadness
Start the day storm in my head
Well you're the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcase
You're positively 4th street isolated in my itunes
You're the word in the dictionary that I can't spell
Can't describe, can't put in a sentence but use all the time
Your own pair of trousers look better on me
The boots of spanish leather
And the bottom of the sea
Every symbol of love that doesn't relate to a meaning
Every feeling, every sensation
Only real when I'm dreaming
I will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
I don't mind dying
If you follow me up
Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
Only the brave surrender
Death cannot tear us apart
Well I wish we were animals free of loves games
I wish we were snails with really big shells
I wish I was a lion, I'd be king of the wild
I'd command all the beasts to carry you when you're tired
I'm the elephant in the circus
Oh, you're my trainer
You'd never let me go
But if you did I would stay here
In love there is freedom
But it must be returned
There must be sacrifice
Love must be learnt
A donkey, a mule, a lifetime of work
In death he rests his head from his reins
No burden to bare but work left him lame
And the lion on the mountain chased from his pride
His lioness stolen, his rival survives
The sound of his cubs in death are dim
He knows his world well, no pain can defeat him
Wild horses in the wilderness
Will know no journey home
Well my love is locked in chains
The lion walks alone
Oh the lion walks alone
Nature is cruel
But he knows it's his home
He to his demons
And you to your own
Please let me stand by you
And we'll conquer them all
We will conquer them all
Oh I will conquer them all (x3)
I still love the song !!!
Its so good, i can't stop hitting reply.
"you're the wax in my moustache"
what a genius.
Acoustic always seems to be better! True intimacy
Falling in love QUICKLY. this man is amazing
This is so perfect,this song,right here,this version,. His voice.
and his songs,are just amazing. ♥
he is super duper awesome.
and I relly like his creativity... ^^
You Sir, just turned my morning around and made this a happy day.
I've actually listened to his album through discovering songs like "Love Lust" and "Bam Bam", and I like his stuff alot. But I must say, Ivory Road might be my favorite of his.
my thoughts exactly. this sounds much better. his album stuff sounds kinda generic but his acoustic stuff is so much more unique and enjoyable
Dianna! god bless your music taste!!! ♥
I like the studio version of "Bam Bam", but apart from that, I'm with you 100%.
I love so much this song.
Brilliant ... King Charles you are Magnifico .. and so unique ...
and I love the way it was shot too .. and the pan to the streets and back to the finish .. and the topper was the bit of Brit chat at the end. You lads are on to something Grand ... so Glad I stumbled upon your vid ! Cheers ....
I would love a man to tell me I was Oscar Wilde short stories in his bookcase. That is the most lovely sentiment.
thank you mark the cabbie
I'm glad i looked into the suggestions
Devendra Banhart and King Charles should do a duet. My mind would blow from awesomeness!
Heard on some festival thing on bbc3 either T in the park or Hackney performing in the tree house. I didn't think much of him but I do like this song!
The man of my life!
Still a great song !!! :) BA BAMM 💥
Mika / Tim Minchin / Jack sparrow all rolled into one! And with a tash like that, this guy is due a No.1 album !!
He looks so happy!!
This is mastery of music
I'm not a big fan of Men with that much.... hair....but somehow he's making it work for him. Love the music i've been singing this on and off for days. ^^
