Music Is A Princess - Prefab Sprout

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
