Subject: Lyr Add: THE GREAT BRITAIN WALTZ
The life and death of Princess Diana of Wales in a song Elton John gave her Norma Jeans song which makes it second hand. (This is the good copy)
THE GREAT BRITAIN WALTZ
Now once upon a time in an old country far away in a place called Paris France Where August ninety seven is remembered Of a crash that left the world in a trance
Lady Di on her way home from a party with her Prince in his Mercedez Benz When just past midnight it turned into a pumpkin It's a story of a fairy tale end
Chorus: Now dance to the Great Britain waltz twirl around in your fine satin dress But don't two step to close to the crevice cause if you do you'll fall over the edge
And when you fall you fly to a wonderland to an everlastin peace among the dead Where Princes and frogs have no power to kiss you awake from the spell
Now in the real world of speed and super hi-ways where flesh collides with concrete and steel And if your dancin with the devil in the fast lane the joker's wild he'll sweep you off your feet
Now you can change the name of an old song re-arrange the words for somebody new Candle in the wind is such an old flame that can't hold a candle to you
