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 rags

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 rags
In rags
In rags
