King of Pain (The Police cover)

This is the best cover I've ever heard. Too bad Mudvayne only has old covers on their new album; all their new songs are awesome!

A few lyric corrections:

There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old thing as yesterday There's a black hat caught in a high tree top There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running round my brain I've always thought that you would end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today [That's my soul up there] It's the same old thing as yesterday [That's my soul up there] There's a black hat caught in a high tree top [That's my soul up there] There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop [That's my soul up there]

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running round my brain I've always thought that you would end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil trapped in a high cliff wall [That's my soul up there] There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall [That's my soul up there] There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb [That's my soul up there] There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web [That's my soul up there]

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running round my brain I've always thought that you would end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on his throne with his eyes torn out There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

King of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's back That's my soul up there There's a black winged gull with a broken back That's my soul up there

There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old shit as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running round my brain I've always thought that you would end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

King of pain King of pain King of pain

{Fades} I'll always be king of pain I'll always be king of pain I'll always be king of pain I'll always be king of pain I'll always be king of pain

Looks like the poster of these lyrics only copied and pasted from the Police version, because they're the SAME exact lyrics, and if you listen closely you can hear that Chad changes some of the words.

Oh yeah, did I mention that this is my favorite Mudvayne song? :D :D :D

Sorry, I meant old demos.

what cd is this on?

This song is on "For the People, By the People" album. This is just an amazing cover, I don't care what anyone else says.

Chad Grey? Better than Sting? Who knew? I did. This song is awesome, I've listened to it 47 times since the CD came out.

As for the meaning, refer to the police version. they have some interesting views over there

An amazing cover song. Reminds me of Shout2000 by Disturbed in that it takes a well established 'cult' hit song and keeps the best parts while adding the metal edge to push it over the top.

I really wish I could find this on myspace somewhere but its a great cover and Chad Grey does this so well.
