70's Classic Of The Day: "King Of Nothing" By Seals and Crofts

For some reason, this song popped into my head recently, and I started listening to this song. I've always loved this song, it's so catchy and cute. But if you listen to the lyrics, they're kinda depressing. Anybody else remember this song? Even though the lyrics are kinda negative, I've always loved the wistfullness of this song.

Sorry to not be able to post the video, but since the formatting has been changed, I can't figure out how to do it properly. err err

Okay, now the lyrics:

When I was seventeen I dreamed of being king and
Having everything I wanted
But that was long ago and
My dreams did not unfold so
I'm still the king of nothing

When I was seventeen I dreamed I gave a ring to
A pretty queen and then I held her
But that was slumber's fault for
I have no love at all and
I'm still the king of nothimg

If I could rule I'd dance my cares away
Find romance every day
I wouldn't have to listen to this poor fool say
I'm the king
I'm the king
I'm the king of nothing

[break]

If I could rule I'd dance my cares away
Find romance every day
I wouldn't have to listen to this poor fool say
I'm the king
I'm the king
I'm the king of nothing

music music

RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
