Royal Canoe Fabulous Mess song lyrics
When you were young you fabulous mess
wearing your make-up, shaving your chest
No reservations
You dreamt of the opera, mastered your poise
Sang to your mirror, it loved your voice
your aspirations
Where have they gone tonight?
Playing the ghost when I thought you'd arrived

What ever came of moving away?
To sleep with the writer and star in the play
Your reservations
A decade of service, what did it bring?
You don't touch your wife, no you don't even sing
at celebrations
How do you fall asleep?
Your bed bears a harvest you'd rather not reap.

Do you still love Frederic Chopin?
Do you still dream about being a woman?
Do you still dance when no one's around?
Do you still talk about metheus bound?

What did they take away from you?
What did they take away from you?

Remember when you spoke all aloof like a thespian
You often wore baroque, and your friends were kind of lesbian
You keep it locked away in a jar in the basement
So put on those heels and cape, sing a song for the nations!

Ah...

When you were young you fabulous mess
wearing your make-up, shaving your chest
You dreamt of the opera, mastered your poise
Sang to your mirror, it loved your voice
What ever came of moving away?
To sleep with the writer and star in the play
A decade of service, what did it bring?
You don't touch your wife, no you don't even sing
at celebrations
