lyrics

Princes’ Lament
(Suncat?)

There ain’t no fairy tale called ‘The Adventures Of Prince Charming,’
A fact which no-one seems to find especially alarming,
But talk these days can drive a prince to quietly facepalming,
’Cos we’re never the ones the story is about.

When Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger, to her consternation,
The kingdom spent a hundred years in suspended animation,
And who am I? I’m just the guy who pruned the vegetation,
No, we’re never the ones the story is about.

People say
That princes have it all their own way.
But if you
Think it through
We close the recital, we cue the end title, and that’s really all that we do...

When Snow White ate the apple with the deadly poison in it
The dwarves preserved her body ’cos they couldn’t bear to bin it
And I was just a pair of lips dragged in at the last minute
No, we’re never the ones the story is about.

You’ve been told
Princesses are just goods to be sold.
That’s a shame.
All the same,
They get all the cheers and the sympathy tears and nobody remembers my name...

Ask anyone about Snow White, or Belle or Cinderella,
A brave and good and noble girl gets married to some fella,
And after that, for all you know, I’m buried in the cellar...
No, we’re never the ones the story is about;
No, we’re never the ones the story is—
The struggle for fame and glory is—
We’re never the ones the story is about!
