The Wolfgang Press - Louis XIV lyrics
allen / cox / gray [May I bring you up to date? We are living in the 20'th century not in the 1800's. May I bring you up to date, sir? We are not alive at all.] This isn't Napoleon this isn't Bonaparte this is fate This isn't Josephine she's still in the tent This isn't the Holy Mother Mary on the balcony of Judas This is Louis, Louis the sun king Louis Quatorze he was the fire king He had disgrace there was no finer prince He had this whole department structured up in Maine This is Louis, Louis the sun king He sacked the Pope who played the pawn in Venezuela In Venezuela they have lots of cocaine The cocaine drug is sending people to their magic maker But when I come home it's what I want Emperors and gender benders dictate What's going on I'm going to seek and find and spend my favourite dollar This isn't Napoleon or one of his divine illusions This isn't Napoleon this isn't fate this isn't drugs This is Louis, Louis the sun king I'm getting sick of all the history and facts I'm going to sail a boat and never coming back I'm going to trash the Pope and bury his career And sail this boat into the Southern Hemisphere You know they say the grass is always greener on the other side I know it's not true I've been there and I'm dying to get back The grease from grass is born of peace then worn away My name's Napoleon I didn't know that This isn't Napoleon (Venezuela!) And Venezuela's vacant Venezuela's peeking holding jewels up to the West They say the grass is greener on the other side I know it's not true And I've been there and I want to get back I'm getting sick of all the history and facts I'm going to sail a boat and never coming back I'm going to trash the Pope and bury his career And sail this boat into the Southern Hemisphere [May I bring you up to date? I am up to date] This isn't Napoleon this isn't fate this isn't rhyme This is a story of times that we had sight This is Louis, Louis the sun king Louis Quatorze, Louis XIV, Louis revolting He wore his faith abused his wealth in the years 1600's 14,000 men, 14,000 horses withdrew their labours And here we go into the principality of Paris We burn the palace and shoot the people with the sour faces The sour faces have got the people's innocence in their hands And this dirty, filthy palace has still got no truth We storm the palace on the 4th and 5th amendements My name's Napoleon, I didn't breed there They say the grass is greener on the other side Well, I've been there...
