Echo & The Bunnymen - My Kingdom Lyrics






I chop and I change and the mystery thickens
There's blood on my hands and you want me to listen
To brawn and to brain when the truth's in the middle
Born of the grain like all good riddles

B-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make it the most of
Your king- kingdom kingdom kingdom

You kill when you talk and the enemy weakens
Your words start to walk when you're not even speaking
If my heart is a war its soldiers are bleeding
If my heart is a war its soldiers are dead

B-b-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make it the most of
Your king- kingdom kingdom kingdom

Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do

I've lost and I've gained and while I was thinking
You cut off my hands when I wanted to twist
If you know how to dance to Boney Maroney
He's doing the ballet on both of his wrists

B-b-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make it the most of
Your k-k- k- k- k- kingdom, king-k- k- k- k-

B-b-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
And I will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make the most of
Your king- kingdom, kingdom, kingdom

(You're a bitter malignous person)
(And the death is well overdue)
(You suck the blood that kills you)
(You kiss the hand that hates you)

(You're a bitter malignous person)
(And your death is well overdue)
(Your sucking bitter pain)

  2. k.... b....

    Such great musicians, such a unique sound and wonderful wordsmiths...Vocal delivery from Ian McCulloch is exquisite . I hasten to add a hugely underrated band and I don't think they have got all the credit they deserve

    k.... b....

    Well said , a class of there own, the british wave has afforded us treasures of music from 1960s and up, even though many have not found the treasure yet , it's still in play, from turntable to cd. Cheers

  3. d.... t....

    Echo have such good albums and songs.

  4. c.... ....

  5. N.... G....

    Only 6 comments in 4 years?

    N.... G....

    as it should be
    you do a study on society, on people in general and you would not understand how this timeless masterpiece had, for example, 1 billion reproductions
    dont you think?

    I chop and I change and the mystery thickens
    There's blood on my hands and you want me to listen
    To brawn and to brain when the truth's in the middle
    Born of the grain like all good riddles
    B-B-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
    Thy will be done
    B-B-bite the nose off and make it the most of
    Your king- kingdom kingdom kingdom
    You kill when you talk and the enemy weakens
    Your words start to walk when you're not even speaking
    If my heart is a war its soldiers are bleeding
    If my heart is a war its soldiers are dead
    B-B-B-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
    Thy will be done
    B-B-bite the nose off and make it the most of
    Your king- kingdom kingdom kingdom
    Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
    Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
    Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
    Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
    I've lost and I've gained and while I was thinking
    You cut off my hands when I wanted to twist
    If you know how to dance to Boney Maroney
    He's doing the ballet on both of his wrists
    B-B-B-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
    Thy will be done
    B-B-bite the nose off and make it the most of
    Your k-k- k- k- k- kingdom, king-k- k- k- k
    B-B-B-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
    And I will be done
    B-B-bite the nose off and make the most of
    Your king- kingdom, kingdom, kingdom
