"King Of Fools" — from the One album (1989). A mature reflection on pride and self-deception.
Alright , I don't mind , having fun is my pre-occupation
I don't mind givin' it all away , oh baby
Alright , the love you had has gone away (alright) alright (alright)
Slow down , you'll live to love another day (alright ) alright (alright)
A-ha king of fools , don't live by the golden rules
A-ha king of fools tonight , tonight
Alright , love is blind and people say that love is an illusion
I don't mind givin it all away , oh baby
Alright , the love you had has gone away (alright) alright (alright)
Slow down , you'll live to love another day (alright) alright (alright)
Time out for the king of fools
Step right up for the king of fools
A-ha king of fools , don't live by the golden rules
Ah-ha king of fools tonight , tonight
A-ha prince of nights , just lives for the New York lights
A-ha king of fools tonight , tonight
A-ha king of fools , don't live by the golden rules
A-ha king of fools tonight , tonight
A-ha prince of nights, just lives for the New York lights
A-ha king of fools tonight , tonight
Ah-ha king of fools ,don't live by the golden rules
A-ha king of fools tonight , tonight (fade)

- From One (1989). One of the more thematically complex tracks on the album, addressing self-delusion with some lyrical ambition.
