Prefab Sprout - Music Is A Princess lyrics

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'd 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 who won't be deposed
Treason hasn't a chance

Music is a princess
I'm just a boy, in raaa-aags

Music is a princess i will remain unknown
Falling asleep at night
Dreaming of her throne
But her jewels are 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 brighter than my eyes can bear
Yes, she is something to die for
But, I don't have the slipper
She's waiting to wear
I'm a boy dressed in rags at her door

Music is a princess
I'm just a boy, in raaaaaags
In raa-aaaa-aags in rags
