MUSIC IS A PRINCESS

MUSIC IS A PRINCESS
I'M JUST A BOY IN RAGS
I WOULD GLADLY SPEND MY LIFE
CARRYING HER FLAGS

FROM THE FIRST TIME I HEARD HER
THE SOUND OF HER VOICE
AND HER BEAUTY
COMPLETELY BEWITCHED ME

I WAS LOST THEN AND THERE
I WAS GIVEN NO CHOICE
EVER SINCE
THERE'S BEEN NO PEACE FOR ME

YOU SEE,
MUSIC IS A PRINCESS
I'M JUST A NOBODY
WHO WOULD GLADLY GIVE HIS LIFE
FOR HER MAJESTY

IF IN DYING I'D MOVE HER
OR MAKE HER HEART STIR
IF I THOUGHT FOR ONE MOMENT
I'D BE MISSED

BUT, EXTRAVAGANT GESTURES
ARE WASTED ON HER
SHE'S A PRINCESS
-I'M Oliver Twist

MUSIC IS A PRINCESS
I'M JUST A BOY IN RAGS
I'D GLADLY SPEND MY LIFE
CARRYING HER BAGS

IF THEIR WEIGHT IS MUCH GREATER
THAN I FIRST SUPPOSED
I'D REMEMBER MY OATH OF ALLEGIANCE

TRUE LOVE IS A MONARCH
THAT WON'T BE DEPOSED
TREASON HASN'T A CHANCE

MUSIC IS A PRINCESS
I'M JUST A BOY IN RAGS

MUSIC IS A PRINCESS
I WILL REMAIN UNKNOWN
FALLING ASLEEP AT NIGHT
DREAMING OF HER THRONE

BUT HER JEWELS ARE MUCH BRIGHTER
THAN MY EYES CAN BEAR
AND, ALTHOUGH SHE IS SOMETHING
TO DIE FOR

I DO NOT HAVE THE SLIPPER
SHE'S WAITING TO WEAR
SO MY DREAMS REMAIN DREAMS
NOTHING MORE

HER JEWELS ARE MUCH BRIGHTER
THAN MY EYES CAN BEAR
YES!
SHE IS SOMETHING TO DIE FOR

BUT I DON'T HAVE THE SLIPPER
SHE'S DYING TO WEAR
I'M A BOY DRESSED IN RAGS
AT HER DOOR

MUSIC IS A PRINCESS

I'M JUST A BOY IN RAGS

IN RAGS.......

PADDY McALOON/Prefab Sprout

Boy, I am sitting here listening to new albums by Kate Bush, Thomas Dolby, PREFAB SPROUT, Todd Rundgren, Tom Waits, Brian Wilson....

Something I have not done, in all honesty, since the 90's!

All are terrific and well worth your money. They will be the perfect antidotes to the upcoming TOUGH winter....

I hear that some SUITOR broke into Kate Bush's home a few days ago to propose MARRIAGE....

Dude had a RING and everything....

No, it wasn't me.....

The only ring I could give her would be in her bathtub....

If you are not listening to Paddy McAloon and Prefab Sprout, you are in for a treat! Look them up, you will be glad that you did.....
