Lyrics
The Princess is Dead Goodbye to beaks and algy Better get back to Blighty Regards to Tiggy and Ruby Marooned in a taffeta nightie So say cheerio Say cheerio to the world that we loved and the faces we knew And the Princess is dead That Edwardian fest was a riot And a cold wind carried her innocence Into the night And the Princess is dead She joined the departed with a sinister glaze in her eyes Bring on the suitable virgins Get em all ticking the boxes Has she got a big house in the country? Has daddy got hounds for foxes? But where is the love? Is it love that you’re after or a good time wave from the balcony? Dust off the golden carriage Polish the silver service Brush up the mumbo jumbo In the people’s cathedral she was married along with her name The people came And the Princess is chic With a touch of that old school glamour And the newspapers hurried the photographs onto the platforms But the princess was already dead A dead woman walking with a sinister glaze in her eyes Bring on the maids and the butlers Get em all stashing mementos Selling the rights to the movie Cos two is a fairytale marriage But then there were three Cos two is a party But three is a crowd And dearest papa…. Why hast thou forsaken me? Pick up a couple of playboys An overnight sensation In these times of desperation You had to put yourself about a bit But that’s nothing new I feel for you I did that too But Mr Bashir……… She’s so gotta go And the Princess is dead The vultures were circling over The white cliffs of Dover But nobody came But the Princess was already dead A dead woman walking with a noose and a bible and orphans So spin up the Secret Service Stoke up the drinking driver Pay off a couple of actors Tip off the Paparazzi………… And the Princess is dead That stiff upper lip had been lost in the post and we cried And the Princess is dead now So we blubbed and we bawled and we sobbed and we snivelled For England In the streets and the alleys And perhaps at the palace A nation let rip And the Princess is dead now She joined the departed with a terrible glaze in her eyes So dust off the golden carriage Polish the silver service Brush up the mumbo jumbo And say cheerio Say cheerio to the world that we loved and the faces we knew But where is she now? She’s Marooned on an island with Elvis and Lucan and Maxwell And the princess is not really dead? She’s consigned to the Mulder and Scully conspiracy files But the Princess is stone cold dead Interned on an island in a flash mausoleum with gargoyles
