KING FOR A DAY As recorded by Dr. Feelgood (From the 1980 Album A CASE OF THE SHAKES) [Intro] [Verse 1] Took my fancy train in 14 days Now I’m a fancy friend speaking through the air(?) My my my look at them walk by Those jokers trying to be kings for the day [Verse 2] Come too late a-wheeling roll-a-dice Happy in a fool’s paradise My my my pie in the sky Jokers trying to be kings for the day [Bridge] Winners laugh losers scream There ain’t no exit from this stream Old jokers trying to be kings for the day [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] See them come see them go Exit how in a picture show And the jokers trying to be kings for the day [Verse 3] The Lady Love is pretty but she’s mean What you say’s a game without a dream My my my look at them go by Pie in the sky makes you gonna cry Old jokers gonna be kings for the day [Outro] Old jokers gonna be kings for the day You know old jokers gonna be kings for the day Old jokers tryin’ to be kings for the day

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'idée de gens qui essaient de se sentir importants, même si cela ne dure qu'un instant. Ces personnages, souvent des rêveurs ou des farceurs, sont plongés dans une réalité éphémère, cherchant à briller dans un monde qui est souvent cruel et illusoire. Les thèmes principaux tournent autour de l'illusion de la réussite et des dangers qui guettent ceux qui poursuivent une gloire fugace. Les paroles soulignent les contrastes entre les gagnants et les perdants, tout en dressant un portrait d'une société où chacun aspire à être le roi de son propre jour, mais où cette quête se heurte inévitablement à la réalité.
