King Midas In Reverse
Hollies · Clarke Hicks & Nash Years [2011]
If you could only see me,
and know exactly where I am.
You wouldn't want to be me.
Oh, I can assure you of that.
I'm not the guy to run with
'cos I'll throw you off the line.
I'll break you and destroy you
given time.
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse.
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse.
It's plain to see it's hopeless
going on the way we are.
So even though I'd lose you,
you'd be better off by far.
He's not the man to hold your trust.
Everything he touches turns to dust.
in his hands.
Nothing he can do is right.
He'd even like to sleep at night,
but he can't.
All he touches turns to dust.
I wish someone would find me
and help me gain control,
before I lose my reason
and my soul.
and know exactly where I am.
You wouldn't want to be me.
Oh, I can assure you of that.
I'm not the guy to run with
'cos I'll throw you off the line.
I'll break you and destroy you
given time.
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse.
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse.
It's plain to see it's hopeless
going on the way we are.
So even though I'd lose you,
you'd be better off by far.
He's not the man to hold your trust.
Everything he touches turns to dust.
in his hands.
Nothing he can do is right.
He'd even like to sleep at night,
but he can't.
All he touches turns to dust.
I wish someone would find me
and help me gain control,
before I lose my reason
and my soul.
