26] Pet Shop Boys

[Intro]
(Watch them all fall down)
(Watch them all fall down)

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

[Interlude: Neil Tennant]
Watch them all fall down

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Nеver an honest word
But that was when I rulеd the world
