King of pain - Alanis Morissette

Jueves - 90s

(1999)

"King of pain" es un tema original de The Police, lanzado en 1983 en el disco Synchronicity.

Alanis, en el MTV Unppluged de 1999 (uno de los mejores conciertos acústicos de el canal), versionó la canción en acústico, produciendo como resultado uno de los temas más agradables bonitos, con el toque propio de Morissette. Si se animan, los invito a que también escuchen la canción original.

Enjoy the story!

There's a little black spot on the sun today 
It's the same old thing as yesterday 
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top 
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop 

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain 
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain 
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign 
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain 

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall 
That's my soul up there 
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall 
That's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
That's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web 

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain 
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain 
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign 
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain 

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out 
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt 
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed 
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread 

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack 
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back 
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday 

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain 
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain 
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign 
But it's my destiny to be the queen of pain 

queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain
