lyrics

An only child in the old steel town
Early days she learnt to keep her head down
She watched, she made notes, she stayed unseen
‘til she joined the dots, yeah she mapped out, the whole damn scene.

‘Cause she’s the King of Spain,
Two thousand words, she named all the guilty men
King of Spain,
She’s the King of Spain

Some ugly old man was doing the Strand,
Seemed to get his way with all of his plans,
Greedy, bad tempered, with a mean streak to boot,
Went too far this time, and now she’s going to bring him to book.

‘Cause she’s the King of Spain,
Two thousand words, she named all the guilty men
King of Spain,
She’s the King of Spain,

One day she vanished, no one knows where,
Some say she’s in Vegas, some say she’s up in Bel Air,
The hustlers still pray but they’re under her spell
Cause maybe she’s just watching, they sure as hell can’t tell

She brought down the grifters, hard men and kings,
How the hell, they all said, does she even know these things
From faces and elders to upright men of state
Words were her weapons, and words carry weight

‘Cause she’s the King of Spain,
Two thousand words, she named all the guilty men
King of Spain,
She’s the King of Spain
