Back in the years before blood lost all its flavour    You slipped and fell but fell into my favour    But I    Chose the land between (?)    'Cos I heard they were looking for a saviour          So I focussed my attentions on the wars in the west    Drew up a battle plan and put my armies to the test    Came walking through the stands    And you were wearing that dress    Lost my answers to the boys in the mess       Dropped to my knees and began to confess...       I control the world    You controlled my heart    And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart    [Oh yes it was]       You saw that only my blood lust could tear us apart    So you raided my artillery for a tranquiliser dart    You steadied; took your aim and shot me straight in the heart    Let your tender reign over me, start       I spend the next twenty years with my head between your knees    All the while making sure you heard my cautionary pleas    There's a price on my head at which nobody would sneeze    'cos I sailed the, sailed the seven seas    Accumulating so many enemies       They would fall for me    And I would fall to you    And your the closest thing I'll ever have to Waterloo       When they write my history    Will they include all your conquests of me?       I control the world    You controlled my heart    Your light would always guide my mother in the dark    Your sideward beam preserved in status and in art    And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart.
