The Korgis

Lyrics

I had a butler, and I had maid
A big spare house in LA
I had truffles and oysters, the whole world at my feet
And limousines, well I had a fleet
Lovely girls, and so many to choose
My life was charmed I just couldn't lose
So I cancelled the wedding for just one more beer
And that's how I ended up here

You gave him somewhere to belong
He bought his way in for a song
To make him content you tried all you could do
In the end you believed it was you
You tried to get back on the track
But he beat you blue and black
So you ran for the hills looking backward in fear
And that's how you ended up here

Little by little it whittled away
The heat of the sun to a tepid grey
A parasite with undetectable stealth
You look in the mirror and can't see yourself, anymore

He was only a game show host
And his primary skill was to boast
He said his opponents were all criminal sorts
And one by one they fell through the boards
He said he would end all the wars
But first he had to settle some scores
He inflamed the crowd and he silenced the courts
He ran out of town all those illegal sorts
He said I'm a King and he claimed his crown
In the end nothing and nobody could take him down
And that's how we ended up here
And that's how we ended up here
How the hell (f*ck) have we ended up here?
