King Midas In Reverse Lyrics By The Hollies

    if you could only see me
    i know exactly where i am
    you wouldn’t want to be me
    oh i can assure you of that

    i’m not the guy to run with
    ’cause i’ll throw you off the line
    i’ll break you and destroy you
    given time

    he’s king midas with a curse
    he’s king midas in reverse
    he’s king midas with a curse
    he’s king midas in reverse

    it’s plain to see it’s hopeless
    going on the way we are
    so even though i’d lose you
    you’d be better off by far

    he’s not the man to hold your trust
    everything he touches turns to dust
    in his hands
    nothing he can do is right
    he’d even like to sleep at night
    but he can’t

    all he touches turns to dust
    all he touches turns to dust
    all he touches turns to dust
    all he touches turns to dust

    i wish someone would find me
    and help me gain control
    before i lose my reason
    and my soul

    he’s king midas with a curse
    he’s king midas in reverse
    he’s king midas with a curse
    he’s king midas in reverse
    he’s king midas with a curse
    he’s king midas in reverse
    he’s king midas with a curse
