| Artist | The Hollies |
| Album | At Abbey Road 1966-1970 |
| Lyrics:A.Clarke/T.Hicks/G.Nash Music:A.Clarke/T.Hicks/G.Nash | |
| 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 |
