[Verse 1]
Dreaming of the Queen
Visiting for tea
You and her and I
And Lady Di
[Verse 2]
The Queen said: "I'm aghast
Love never seems to last
However hard you try"
And Di replied
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Yes, it's true
Look, it's happened to me and you
[Verse 3]
Then carriages arrived
We stood and said goodbye
Diana dried her eyes
And looked surprised
[Verse 4]
For I was in the nude
The old Queen disapproved
But people laughed and asked
For autographs
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Yes, it's true
Look, it's happened to me and you
[Verse 5]
I woke up in a sweat
Desolate
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Yes, it's true
Look, it's happened to me and you
Dreaming of the Queen
Visiting for tea
You and her and I
And Lady Di
[Verse 2]
The Queen said: "I'm aghast
Love never seems to last
However hard you try"
And Di replied
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Yes, it's true
Look, it's happened to me and you
[Verse 3]
Then carriages arrived

Yes, it's true
Look, it's happened to me and you
