Royals - Lorde (Acoustic Cover)

Показать описание

And we'll never be royals - this is one of those songs that I've been singing at my concerts so often that it was long overdue to also record it for my YouTube channel. I hope you like my version of "Royals" by Lorde, even though this will never be as good as the lovely background choirs I get when I play it live. It's part of my music advent calendar – one video every day in December 2018 as a little musical treat. So if you want to know what's behind the doors, please make sure to subscribe so you don't miss out. Let's count down to the holidays together!

There's a fancy hashtag for everything now.
#JBadventcalendar was the best I could come up with (sorry!).

And sharing is caring, right? :)

Royals - Lyrics

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
No post code envy

But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy

My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
We didn't come from money

But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy

Whoa oh, whoa oh, ohh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen
Whoa oh, whoa oh, ohh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
