The King of Hearts

(G.Brooker / K.Reid / M.Noble)There was trouble in the airJust a subtle hint of dangerAnd a woman dressed in blackout lookin' for a strangerWell she took me to her roomWhere she offered me a wagerShe promised me the moonSo I took a chanceYes I played the King of HeartsPut my cards out on the tableI thought the odds were in my favourBut she laid the Ace of SpadesAn' I wound up where I startedThe King of Hearts no moreBut the King of the Broken-heartedShe cut the deck one moreBy the light of thirteen candlesShe said, "the winner takes it all --Is that too much for you to handle?So I wandered through my playing cardsAnd tried to understand herI was lookin' for a faceIt was right there in my handYes I played the King of HeartsPut my cards out on the tableI thought the odds were in my favourBut she laid the Ace of SpadesAn' I wound up where I startedThe King of Hearts no moreBut the King of the Broken-hearted
