    You're quite right - those aren't the correct lyrics. (The Internet let me down yet again)

    I'll try to transcribe the correct lyrics and post them a bit later.

    Good morning!
    Oh really?! You'll make me happy
    Is long time that I'm trying to find it, and never found it.
    I've tried to undestard and transcribe but singer's pronunciation is very british I think, or is dirty/nasty but definitely cool..it's just my opinion
    So, I'm waiting for you...

    thanks in advance

    Here's a very rough phonetic transcription. Best I can do, I'm afraid. The singer's accent is something I've never heard before. The nonsense words are just what I heard.


    Title: The King And I
    Artist: The Kooks

    Evil sits upon his throne,
    Umon spitzen any more.
    Keeps it all to himself,
    Doesn't care for anybody else.
    See them curse that sound!
    See them curse that sound!

    King of the castle and all the men,
    There's always given do nothing he'll send.
    Way-o, the games and our fun!
    Children, be wise!

    See them cut him down!
    See them curse that sound!

    There's power in numbers,
    And there's numbers in ye.
    The lannin tell you,
    What you should do.
    There's power in numbers,
    And there's numbers in ye.
    So lay out Ballmer,
    So you won't see it.

    Oh, the king oh you so strong,
    Over all the children came together.
    You found you can fool anyone,
    Its just a week, mon.

    See them curse that sound!
    See them curse that sound!

    Things always come around,
    Oh yem, laugh before ye run!
    You've stolen mon's crown,
    And they'll be runnin' all the time!

    See them cursed sound!
    See them cursed sound!
    See them curse in town!
    See them cursed sound!
    See them curse in town!
    See them curse in town!
    See them cursed sound!

    Oooh THANK YOU SO MUCH
    Yeah, the singer's accent it's so particular and for this reason I like it too! And you?
    Infact, if you listen other song's about them you can note that sometimes.

    For more certainty I asked in languages forum
    here you are:

    Fortunate you! Been there several times, lovely city. I even miss the snobby waiters - they're part of the charm.

    Enjoy your trip!
