Lyrics:
Now if I were a queen and a ruler of nations
With diamonds and jewels profound
Well, I'd rather know that I had salvation
Than to know my reward would be Satan's jewel crown
Satan's jewel crown I've worn it so long
But God for my soul has reached down
His love set me free, He made me His own
And helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown
Oh, the life that I live so sinful and needless
Drinkin' and runnin' around
All the things that I do for the love of the Devil
I know my reward will be Satan's jewel crown
Satan's jewel crown I've worn it so long
But God for my soul has reached down
His love set me free, He made me His own
And helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown
Well, I got caught in Panama City
Trying to buy some beer for some Georgia girls
And I got wore out by my daddy
For stealing cigarettes from the Smokes and More
When all my friends would get away
Seems I'd get caught, plain as day
I took the blame for every little thing
But I got away with you
And somehow I still ain't been found out
It's a crazy truth
Like I strolled out the gates of Alcatraz
And I walked in the Louvre
Now the Mona Lisa's hanging in my house
I bust out of Buckingham with the crown jewels
And I got away with you
Well, looking like you do
On its damn own should be a crime
Let alone a fool like me
Hand in hand with you should be doin' time
But here we are running free
Guess someone turned the other cheek
'Cause there ain't no blue lights in the rear view
Guess I got away with you
And somehow I still ain't been found out
It's a crazy truth
Like I strolled out the gates of Alcatraz
And I walked in the Louvre
Now the Mona Lisa's hanging in my house
I bust out of Buckingham with the crown jewels
And I got away with you
I'd take it all, the fails the falls
The county jails and one phone calls
I'd do it all again if I had to
'Cause I got away with you
And somehow, girl, I still ain't been found out
It's a crazy truth
Like I strolled out the gates of Alcatraz
And I walked in the Louvre
Now the Mona Lisa's hanging in my house
I bust out of Buckingham with the crown jewels
When I got away with you
When I got away with you
Yeah, I got away with you
She came from the backwoods
Bright teeth, stylish hair
Good fortune and everyone's smiles
Followed her everywhere
Had a taste for the good life
Had some stars in her eyes
Thought she would have it all
Once her name was in lights
Hey, hey little Miss Jane
Sunny day turned to hard rain
Traded in your evening gown
For a jumpsuit of pain
The beauty queen and the wallflower
Feel the same in their darkest hours
All watch as the crown of jewels
Falls from the old guard tower
She walked down the runway
A crown of jewels she wore
Applause and lights, but at the end of the night
She was the first out the door
Drove all night at high speed
Arrived in the early day light
Flash of a knife, a nice evening dress
Couldn't change her man's mind
Hey, hey little Miss Jane
Sunny day turned to hard rain
Traded in your evening gown
For a jumpsuit of pain
The beauty queen and the wallflower
Feel the same in their darkest hours
All watch as the crown of jewels
Falls from the old guard tower
Stage moms and hair-sprayed charms
No one there could have sounded an alarm
I don't know why you think it's so strange
Any kind of act is within anyone's range
Hey, hey little Miss Jane
Sunny day turned to hard rain
Traded in your evening gown
For a jumpsuit of pain
The beauty queen and the wallflower
Feel the same in their darkest hours
All watch as the crown of jewels
Falls from the old guard tower
Since I'm putting down
All of the true things around, but I like it
Handed down the crown
Given the jewels and the answers of May
The thought of being ousted
Comes and goes
Comes and goes
When I think about it, the wind blows
Hate it, hate it, hate it
Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it
Run me out of town
Somewhere a move might intended a gown in
Pissed out all the vowels
Always the blues and a delicate smile
Missed all of the sideways
Gull and noun
Gull and noun
Chills and petty Band-Aids wrapped around
Hate it, hate it, hate it
Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it
Good grief
Good grief
Since I'm putting down
All of the true things around, but I like it
Handed down the crown
Given the jewels and the answers of May
The thought of being ousted
Comes and goes
Comes and goes
When I think about it the wind blows
Hate it, hate it, hate it
Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it
Since I'm putting down
All of the true things around, but I like it
Handed down the crown
Given the jewels and the answers of May
The thought of being ousted
Comes and goes
Comes and goes
When I think about it, the wind blows
Hate it, hate it, hate it
Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it
Run me out of town
Somewhere a move might intended a gown in
Pissed out all the vowels
Always the blues and a delicate smile
Missed all of the sideways

Oh, I dreamed you were a jewel
Sitting on golden crown on my head, my head, my head.
Things were disappearing in my neighborhood
Once again somebody was up to no good
I saw that you were wanted
But not like I wanted you
And that's when I knew I had to be with you
And that's when I knew if I didn't
I'd be through
To end my grief I'd have to catch a thief
Your love was my relief
My love is your release
Come into my window it's open every night
That's where I'll be waiting
I'll keep off all the lights
I'm lying on my bed crown jewels on my head
I'd never give you up
So come in from the cold, let your guard down
I'd hide you from the cops
Don't be frightened now my love
I'll take the life of crime
All to make you mine
Come in off that roof top
You're so handsome dressed in black
See you in the shadows
I'd like to see you on your back
Take this precious treasure
And I will treasure you
We'll run away my dear
Some place special have no fear
We'll even change our names
We'll be kinky, we'll be strange
I'll take a life of crime
All to make you mine all to catch a thief
Your love is my relief
My love is your release
Your love is my relief
My love is your release all to catch a thief
Cancer mind
Grave yard dirt
Name on your tombstone
Knife in your skirt
Head on collision
Motorcycle crash
Ain't goin' to prison
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bad seed baby
Gimme your disease
Death's head angel
Lay your curse on me
Lord is my shotgun
Your Satan's jewel
Plough your death valley
Sow my seed in you
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bad seed baby
Gimme your disease
Death's head angel
Lay your curse on me
Lord is my shotgun
Your Satan's crown jewel
Plough your death valley
Sow my seed in you
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Sometimes I think you're
Too sweet to die
Other times I think you should be
Buried alive
[Repeat: x8]
Bury you alive
(Here comes the king of fools)
(Here comes the king of fools)
Make way, make way I say
Well, today is coronation day
I'm gonna wear my heartbreak
For a crown
And tears instead of jewels
'Cause I'm his majesty,
The king of fools
Raise a cheer as he passes by
Drink a toast to this lonely guy
I'm gonna wear my heartbreak for a crown
And tears instead of jewels
'Cause I'm his majesty,
The king of fools
How can you fall
Oh, slap bang out of love
Don't ask me, you should know,
You found it easy enough
Make way, make way I say
Well, today is coronation day
I'm going to wear my heartbreak for a crown
And tears instead of jewels
'Cause I'm his majesty,
The king of fools
How can you fall
Oh, slap bang out of love
Don't ask me, you should know,
You found it easy enough
Make way, make way I say
Well, today is coronation day
I'm going to wear my heartbreak for a crown
And tears instead of jewels
'Cause I'm his majesty,
The king of fools
I can't stand to see it no more
The way you're living with a goddess, but you treat her like a slave
And you can't hold her back anymore
She's like a dreamer in a dungeon, or an angel in a cave
And I'll be closer to you now than any other boy
And you know that what I'm saying is true
You're gonna break her up, and tear her down, and fade her away
And then there's no telling what I'm gonna do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
But if you give me your girl, and then you give me your trust
And if you give me till the end of the night
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burning when the night is done
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burning when the night is done
You gotta give me your girl and your trust
I'm gonna love her for both of us
You can't hide away anymore
You had a chance, but you blew it, and you'll never get it back
And your holiness was never so pure
She needs a fire in the heart and not a stabbing in the back
And I'll be closer to you now than any other boy
And you know that what I'm saying is true
You're gonna break her up, and tear her down, and fade her away
And then there's no telling what I'm gonna do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
But if you give me your girl, and then you give me your trust
And if you give me till the end of the night
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burning when the night is done
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burning when the night is done
You gotta give me your girl and your trust
I'm gonna love her for both of us
When the screws are tightenin', and the tears are falling
I can hear her crying out to be saved
And like a bolt of lightning, I go answer the call
But she's singing like a siren to me over the waves
I never wanted to take away your lover
Until I heard her crying out to be saved
I always thought of you as one of my brothers
But she's singing like a siren to me over the waves
Singing like a siren to me over the waves
There ain't no holding me down!
Sitting by yourself, again
Where are you in the other hours
Are you in a secret place that calls
When you're by yourself with in your walls
Are you undressed with someplace to go
Off to catch your private show
Why do you greet the morning
Draping your heart in a shroud
Why must your life be a sideshow
Played to an ignorant crowd
How are you, in the other hours
Do you pray for morning to arrive
Do you wonder how you can stay alive
Are you at peace in a troubled mind
Hoping no one else would find
You're only playing dumb
'til the other hours come
[piano]
Who do you think you're fooling
Turning your face from the light
Clearly you're turning to something
That are revealed by the night
What are you in the other hours
Are you queen of some abandoned song
Thinking how your crown of jewels had shone
You're sitting there with no one to reign
You think no one sees your pain
And no one hears your drum
So the other hours come
England's Glory'. if you want to sing
Please sing
There are jewels in the crown of England's glory
And every jewel shines a thousand ways
Frankie Howerd, Noël Coward and garden gnomes
Frankie Vaughan, Kenneth Horne, Sherlock Holmes
Monty, Biggles and Old King Cole
In the pink or on the dole
Oliver Twist and Long John Silver
Captain Cook and Nelly Dean
Enid Blyton, Gilbert Harding
Malcolm Sargent, Graham Greene (Graham Greene)
All the jewels in the crown of England's glory
Too numerous to mention, but a few
And every one could tell a different story
And show old England's glory something new
Nice bit of kipper and Jack the Ripper and Upton Park
Gracie, Cilla, Maxy Miller, Petula Clark
Winkles, Woodbines, Walnut Whips
Vera Lynn and Stafford Cripps
Lady Chatterley, Muffin the Mule
Winston Churchill, Robin Hood
Beatrix Potter, Baden-Powell
Beecham's powders, Yorkshire pud (Yorkshire pud)
With Billy Bunter, Jane Austen
Reg Hampton, George Formby
Billy Fury, Little Titch
Uncle Mac, Mr.

I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun

Singing like a siren to me over the waves
There ain't no holding me down!
Step up and give a listen to the singer
Hip or square, say a prayer
When money's stiff, she'll make it on a riff
She turns the major into minor, cool
All over town, she is renowned, woman's the crown, jewel of sound
Dig it! That Sassy's on a hipper trip
Rhythm, she can sharpen to a stinger
Blows insane, that's her lane
She keeps it loose, a ballad or a blues
Ten thousand hours on a thousand gigs
Taking the crown, uptown or down, she's the baddest around
She's brazen, simply amazing
She's blazing, shit is hair-raising
Vibration's a brain invasion
But her phrasing's just like a saxophone
Working in the daytime, jamming every night
Blowing over changes that would give most cats a fright
People call her Sassy, that's her attitude
Acting like the devil, but when she sings her blues
You know what she's going through
She's brazen, simply amazing
She's blazing, shit is hair-raising
Vibration's are our own creation
But her phrasing's just like a saxophone
Watch Sassy take another swig
Now she's getting evil with the people
Cigarette, final set
Don't wanna miss a prelude to a kiss
Even the trumpet player's smiling now
She's walking the line, cutting in rhyme, she is divine all the time
Working in the daytime, jamming every night
Hanging with the fellas 'til she's ready to ignite
People call her Sassy 'cause she knows her mind
She became a living legend from songs she redefined
She's brazen, simply amazing
(From songs she redefined)
She's blazing, shit is hair-raising
(they call her Sassy)
Vibration's are our own creation
(Got that sassy strut)
But her phrasing's just like a saxophone
(Acting like the devil)
She's brazen, simply amazing
(Acting like the devil)
She's blazing, shit is hair-raising
Most impeded to by the rhythm
Vibration's are our own creation
Her phrasing's just like a saxophone
Just like a saxophone
(Like a saxophone)
Just like a saxophone
(Like a saxophone)
Just like a saxophone
(Just like a saxophone)
Just like a saxophone

Suzanne was the jewel keeper
In a word she stole all the jewels
And she took them to a foreign land
Which was strictly against all the rules
And she wore them all proudly
Like a tiara crown on her head
She slept with them at night
Suzanne and the jewels in a bed
[Chorus:]
Suzanne and her jewels
Livin' on the edge of a friend
Suzanne, how will you sleep at night
When they take that crown from your head?
Laughing in a crown of jewels,
Numbness from a sceptors wound.
Toss and Turn, I spin and learn,
"Catch yourself before you burn."
You want me to go and steal
A million dollars
You make me fight an army
Win and get away
CHORUS:
I've got so many things to tell you
I've got so many things to say
You expect me to lay the crown
Jewels at your feet
Pour upon you gold and
Silver too
Nasty things that you ran away from
Will catch you up again
Heroes that you try to be like
Will make you feel your pain
There'll you sit alone and lonely
Everything'll turn gray
You try to figure out the high
Life came and made you insane
You want me to go out and steal
A million dollars
I got to hold everybody off
While you get away
I can't stand to see it no more
The way you're living with a goddess, but you treat her like a slave
And you can't hold her back anymore
She's like a dreamer in a dungeon, or an angel in a cave
And I'll be closer to you now than any other boy
And you know that what I'm saying is true
You're gonna break her up, and tear her down, and fade her away
And then there's no telling what I'm gonna do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
But if you give me your girl, and then you give me your trust
And if you give me till the end of the night
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burning when the night is done
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burning when the night is done
You gotta give me your girl and your trust
I'm gonna love her for both of us
You can't hide away anymore
You had a chance, but you blew it, and you'll never get it back
And your holiness was never so pure
She needs a fire in the heart and not a stabbing in the back
And I'll be closer to you now than any other boy
And you know that what I'm saying is true
You're gonna break her up, and tear her down, and fade her away
And then there's no telling what I'm gonna do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
But if you give me your girl, and then you give me your trust
And if you give me till the end of the night
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burning when the night is done
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burning when the night is done
You gotta give me your girl and your trust
I'm gonna love her for both of us
When the screws are tightenin', and the tears are falling
I can hear her crying out to be saved
And like a bolt of lightning, I go answer the call
But she's singing like a siren to me over the waves
I never wanted to take away your lover
Until I heard her crying out to be saved
I always thought of you as one of my brothers
But she's singing like a siren to me over the waves
Singing like a siren to me over the waves
There ain't no holding me down!
He wants to own your heart
He already owns your soul
No matter what you do
He's always in control
And when he calls your name, you have to follow
Like moths into a flame, no fear or sorrow will fall upon you
You belong to the King of Love
He wants to know your thoughts
He already knows your mind
No matter where you are
You're someone he'll always find
His very mention brings the slightest shudder
Deep inside you know there is no other as skilled and tender
Just surrender to the King of Love
But when the night falls down, he will not wear a crown
No jewels upon his hands; he is just a man
He wants to rule your world
He already rules your dreams
No matter what you want
He'll never make you queen
Still, when he calls your name, you have to answer
And when his music plays you are a dancer
For him the only, never lonely, King of Love
For him the only, never lonely, King of Love
With a wink from a starlet's eye a string of pearls come to life
Who knows what black and crazy thoughts swim inside a girlfriend's heart
No brighter jewel is there above than the gem of a girl still in love
Below the horizon the last crown jewel pales among the stars at noon
When out of the blue a rainbow rockets through
A kiss from an old flame A trip to the moon
Endlessly falling my way downtown someone to throw both arms around
Who knows what black and crazy names swim around inside her brain
Adrift across the silver screen just imagine you and me
Our strolling make-believe ballroom glides set the rainbow room afire
Off into the starlit night two fools rush in you and I
Feel the rough hand close behind above the Heaven's Open wide...
Maledictum
Ex hac die
Vae vobis
Ad finem
From thy crown jewels shall be removed torn asunder!
May no more seed be sown as thy last tree is plundered.
