about

Tim Norell:
"King & Queen" is one of my old songs that I still love a lot and I still get a tear
in my eye when I listen, especially when Ola Håkansson and myself are
singing the bridges:
“We only live one lifetime
We only get one try”
Now I can see the sorrow
In your eyes, in your eyes”
This is typical Björn Håkanson poetry and I am so glad that we now have
made a video of my old photos for this melancholy and wonderful song.
Once upon a time it was meant to be the next Secret Service single release.
As usual on the second Secret Service album Tony Lindberg´s sad and
magnificent guitar is the lead instrument…

lyrics

I was king and you my queen
We ruled the world, had the wildest dreams
And read our future in the stars
We skipped school like everyone
And we made love in the morning sun
Since then we’ve travelled oh so far
I stand and gaze at the old oak tree
Where I carved out: “Susie loves me”
You said: “Let´s stay and meet the morning”
Stay and greet the light
Now you miss the sunrise
You praise the night
I was king and you my queen
We ruled the world, had the wildest dreams
And read our future in the stars
We skipped school like everyone
And we made love in the morning sun
Since then we’ve travelled oh so far
Tomorrow came as a big surprise
One day is born, another dies
You said: “We only live one lifetime
We only get one try”
Now I can see the sorrow
In your eyes, in your eyes
I was king and you my queen
We ruled the world, had the wildest dreams
And read our future in the stars

I was king and you my queen
We ruled the world, had the wildest dreams
And read our future in the stars
We skipped school like everyone
And we made love in the morning sun
Since then we’ve travelled oh so far
