It's at times such as this she'd be tempted to spit
If she wasn't so ladylike
She imagines how she might have lived
back when legends and history collide
So she looks to her prince finding he's so charmingly
slumped at her side
Those days are recalled on the gallery wall
And she's waiting for passion or humour to strike
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty
Good Friday arrived, the sky darkened on time
'Til he almost began to negotiate
She held his head like a baby and said "It's okay if you cry"
Now he wants her to dress as if you couldn't guess
He desires to impress his associates
But he's part ugly beast and Hellenic deceased

[01:05.23]It's at times such as this she'd be tempted to spit
[01:10.51]If she wasn't so ladylike
[01:15.63]She imagines how she might have lived
[01:19.80]back when legends and history collide
[01:26.78]So she looks to her prince finding he's so charmingly
[01:32.84]slumped at her side
[01:37.98]Those days are recalled on the gallery wall
[01:43.53]And she's waiting for passion or humour to strike
[01:49.39]
[05:20.56][04:59.46][01:52.54]What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
[05:31.87][05:10.83][02:00.62]All this useless beauty
[02:03.64]
[02:19.11]Good Friday arrived, the sky darkened on time
[02:24.79]'Til he almost began to negotiate
[02:31.08]She held his head like a baby and said "It's okay if you cry"

[03:37.57]She won't practice the looks from the great tragic books
[03:43.61]That were later disgraced to face celluloid
[03:49.37]It won't even make sense but you can bet
[03:55.21]If she isn't a sweetheart or plaything or pet
[04:00.91]The film turns her into an unveiled threat
[04:09.03]
[04:10.30]Nonsense prevails, modesty fails
[04:15.39]Grace and virtue turn into stupidity
[04:21.58]While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise
[04:33.02]And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts
[04:38.09]They still think they're the gods of antiquity
[04:44.14]If something you missed didn't even exist
[04:49.72]It was just an ideal -- is it such a surprise?
[05:40.62]THE END
