Lyrics:
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
Ein paar Fakten, die bei der Entschlüsselung helfen:
Prinzessin Diana war für ihren Aktivismus in Sachen AIDS-Aufklärung bekannt.
„Night sweats“, also das schweißgebadete Aufwachen in der Nacht, ist ein AIDS-Symptom.
In vielerlei Hinsicht ist „Dreaming of the Queen“ die Fortsetzung zu „Being Boring“, zu dem ich mal eine tiefergehende Analyse auf dem Pop Crimes-Blog gepostet habe.
