Dreaming of the Queen

Dreaming of the Queen
visiting for tea
You and her and I
and Lady Di

The Queen said: ‘I’m aghast
Love never seems to last
however hard you try’
And Di replied that 

‘There are no more lovers left alive
No one has survived
so there are no more lovers left alive
and that’s why love has died
Yes, it’s true
Look, it’s happened to me and you’

Then carriages arrived
We stood and said good-bye
Diana dried her eyes
and looked surprised

For I was in the nude
The old Queen disapproved
but people laughed and asked
for autographs

And there were no more lovers left alive
No one had survived
so there were no more lovers left alive
and that’s why love had died
Yes, it’s true
Look, it’s happened to me and you

I woke up in a sweat
desolate

For there were no more lovers left alive
No one had survived
so there were no more lovers left alive
and that’s why love had died
Yes, it’s true
Look, it’s happened to me and you
