Lyrics

Knights In Shinin' Armour

The fairy tales they read us
When we're so young and naive
Seem to just mislead us
And yet we're taught to believe

In the knights in shinin' armour
The heros and the kings
We grew up with the stars in our eyes
The knights in shinin' armour
The sleepin' beauty queens
We grew up on the lies
We grew up on the lies

First comes love, then marriage
Beyond the shade of a doubt
And then a baby carrige
To wheel the next victum out

To see the Knights in shinin' armour
The heros and the kings
We grew up with the stars in our eyes
The knights in shinin' armour
The sleepin' beauty queens
We grew up on the lies
We grew up on the lies

How many politicians
Could write a book for our shelves
About their real ambitions
And speak the truth of themselves

And the knights in shinin' armour
The heros and the kings
We grew up with the stars in our eyes
The knights in shinin' armour
The sleepin' beauty queens
We grew up on the lies
We grew up on the lies
