Thompson Twins - King For A Day Lyrics

great band..great decade...great times

me encanta este exito por siempre

Allanah Currie better looking now than back then.

que musicon mas hermoso de este grupo, hasta ahora se como se llama este grupo que cantan estos exitasos que escuche a mediados de los 80

So she was a beauty. In Hold me now she looks...not so good

El k mas me gusta de esta banda

Better song than any current songs of this era

Seen these in the 80s fab concert and this is my fav track oh and love on your side

For got how good Thompson twins were

That was a smash hit in the eighties......

If i was king for a day i would buy that time machine and go back to the start of the 80s and loop myself for the next 10 years and never come back.

I am agree with you.....!!!!!

Still love the band!
Tom Bailey,Joe Leeway
and Alannah Currie were a great '80's pop group for sure!

What time, I miss the 80's

I remember this back in the 80's.

Absolutely amazing.
Love!!

Still love the band!
Great pop band.

"King For A Day"

I know you well
And I can tell
Something's on your mind

'Cause in your dreams
The demon screams
I know he's going to hurt you blind

You say you hunger
For something you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore

If I was King for just one day
I would give it all away
I would give it all away to be with you

If I was King for just one day
I have just one thing to say
You know that love is all 
We need to get us through

And diamond rings
And all those things
They never sparkle
Like your smile

And as for fame
It's just a name
That only satisfies
You for awhile

You say you hunger
For something you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore

If I was King for just one day
I would give it all away
I would give it all away to be with you

If I was King for just one day
I have just one thing to say
You know that love is all
We need to get us through

I've heard it said
Or maybe read
Only money makes
The world go round

But all the gold
Won't heal your soul
If your world should
Tumble to the ground

You say you hunger
For something you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore

So listen
Love is all
Love is all
Love is all we need

Love is all

Top 5 of our fella's !

Rey por un solo día... todo lo regalaría por estar junto a ti

If I was king for just one day
The 80’s would never go away

Looooove themmmmmm

the 80's ... life was so innocent , playful, melancholie , dramatic , and silly ... all at the same time.

The Thompson Twins not only wrote great songs, But had a great image. And the production of their records was first class. Even Tom Bailey's new Album is wonderful.

Legendary band

They are kings. Great band.

I know you well
And I can tell
Something''s on your mind
''Cos in your dreams
The demon screams
And I know he''s going to hurt you blind

You say you hunger for something you can''t get at all
And love is not enough anymore

IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY
I WOULD GIVE IT ALL AWAY
I WOULD GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO BE WITH YOU
IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY
I HAD JUST ONE THING TO SAY
YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS
ALL WE NEED TO GET US THROUGH
Diamond rings
And all those things
They never sparkle like your smile
And as for fame
It''s just a name
That only satisfies you for a while

I''ve heard it said
Or maybe read
Only money makes the world go ''round
But all the gold
Won''t heal your soul
If your world should tumble to the ground

So listen,
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah.
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah.

If I was King
For just one day
For just one thing to say
Love...

Wow! What a technological 80' video!

A great wonderful group from my blesseD era-Ladies and GentLemen',The ThompsonTwins,forever in my HeaRt.

(Repeat & Fade)

Very catchy song indeed. Surprised it wasn't a bigger hit.

loved the song..........good meldoy

Love is all we need!

Night open

I love this song💕
I love tom❤️

Mesmo cantando em inglês o sotaques deles parece alemão!

love this song, had a friend come back from Europe with a shirt like a chess set, he became the king !!!

Feliz los música de 80

scrr esse video eh tao aesthetic

Una de las mejores bandas de los 80!!!

A músicalidade dos anos 80's é imbatível!

One of my favourite album of the eighties hits album 3.

Que gran tema lindos recuerdos de mi juventud.

RDD2 never became a king yet he lived well past his rustic robotic self. love Joe Lee Way in particular! - so multifaceted as an instrumentalist, singer and thespian - why he is long overdue a kingdom-hood.

Bem o estilo alemão!

I signed up to be in charge of gathering the music for my eighth grade graduation slide show only so that I could play good 80s music

Their best song and best hair. Gotta love 1985

I have to agree.....it really is their best song. People often say "I love Doctor! Doctor!" or "Hold Me Now is far and away my favourite!" But I just sit there quietly, thinking "Well, for me, King For A Day can't be beaten!"

@Lee71England Its wonderful that there are such differing opinions and views amongst us Thompsom Twins fans!
For me, some of their best songs are 'Love On Your Side', 'Sister Of Mercy', 'The Gap'.... but my all time favourite is without a doubt 'All Fall Out'.

@RNW All Fall Out eh? One from what I call their "experimental stage".
I agree with you on The Gap. Can't tell you how much it grew on me over the years. It went from "Meh!" to "Gawd, I love The Gap!"

Vídeo 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏boas musicas bons tempos

Hot 100 Billboard 1986, still listening in 2018.
80s the best decade ever!!!

80s´: one bad release amidst so many hits
Today; the opposite...

if I was tsar for just one day I would inherit an empire xxx

The 80s was a great time to grow up in !!!!!

Love the digital remastering of the video. It is a shame in today’s age all or mostly all of the old grainy videos are not done in the same way.

Wow, it's hard for me to believe this is 32 years old, still as fresh as a daisy and in my top 5 Thompson Twins songs. I love this band and so glad I have my TT tattoo also.

i'd bring all this back in an instant

Another great song

Este «King For A Day» tiene la misma estructura musical, el mismo ritmo, el mismo tiempo y hasta la misma carga emocional que «Hold Me Now» 🎼 Resulta evidente cuando se trata del mismo autor que posee una marcada filosofía compositiva :’) Casi un tributo a sí mismo ♡

The version I have on my Google Play is from the best of and sounds different especially at the start.... Hmmm.... I like that one better than this but I wonder why it's different.

This is definently the original

Nostalgy memories this song 80's very good

i would give it all away to be back in the 80,s

Such a happy time in my life. This music takes me back to a great place in time.

I hate secrets . Secrets rip u off

Oh mi Dios, que música, que no se puede refrenar el cuerpo!!!!!!! es lo máximo!!!!!!!!!

After extended study of this video, I have concluded that these three people are not actually twins.

muy buena (**)♡♡♡♡

Mr Twins You may not be able to be king for just one day but if you want to know what it's like go and ask my king as far as those who walk this earth he stars in your colleagues video one eyed one horned purple people eta and what can I say about what he is like? using one word I would have to say he is lovesome respectfully yours adonaitsidkenu

Fue una época maravillosa los 80's

buenos temas ...

Happy, happy 80s memories for me 😊❤️

It just reminds you how good the eighties music is!!

if i were king for just day i would create a new currency called love ,then i would rip up every pipeline on the planet and bury them in it at fort mc murrey ,big oil s last stand

Wasn't this their last song? Shame if so, they all look great in the video, like they were only just starting :-(

my wife was pen pals with them ! i love this song

Thank God for the 80,s.music manufactured now

Jesus this was so long ago.

Come produce more music- will make us all Tintin fans proud again..Great voice- great composition..Herge would be proud..heh

Loved them......grew up with them in the 80's ......hey thank you x

Me too.

Julie,me too! Well said!

Timeless '80's band!
Underrated too !!

Me too!

Me too Julie ! They still sound great now I think !

Konge for en dag!

234000 views is just so wrong, this song was an epic timeless 80' classic. A lost legend.

Possibly their last big hit too!

It was their last big hit in 85 worldwide in any country except the U.S where Sugar Daddy was a top 30 hit on billboard 100 in 89-I'm a massive Thompson Twins fan-So was their last big to very big hit worldwide but in U.S was a different story as they were still having hit singles the albums they came off of weren't hit in the U.S either

If a gem like this stalled at #22 in the charts, then it was the beginning of the end. My favourite TT song.

What a memories!!..one of my favourites bands!! thank you for posting!

named after the  detective duo in TIN-TIN  Thomson and THompson !!    To  be precise !     what a  stellar way to start off the afternoon  !!

What a nice group they get me a lot a remenbers. 80's for everrrr.

childhood fave!!

Well put

Los increíbles 80's!!!!

Thompson Twins - King For A years

surfing

Its just the time and great. Give it all away to have it back. YES ,,,

Que buenos recuerdos

Flash back
"Kaseys coast to coast"
"American top 40......."
Sunday nights on Australian Commercial radio station Fox fm
Listening with the personal enjoyment of my first ever Sony Walkman.....

武道館でのコンサートに行きました

今、聴いても素敵な曲です♪

ahhh...how I miss the 80's.  Fashion and make up were just for fun.   Song lyrics and video's were meaningless and just for entertainment.   Happy and uplifting.  Those were the days.

Carol Bei songs always had meaning

youre probably referring to your childhood

Sure miss the 80's! The best years ever!

Same here! Also 56 and listen to 80's music on a weekly basis! Great for the soul!
