Death of a Dandy |
Take off your coat of many colors |
And throw it on the floor |
Like your old discarded lovers |
The ones you can’t recall |
Lay your head down on the pillow |
Place your hand upon your chest |
Close your eyes and think of England |
To take your final rest |
Sometimes all the love in the world |
Is never quite enough |
They love you and adore you |
But only when you’re dressing up |
It’s all this useless love |
A total waste of time |
One day the sun will dim and die |
With no one left to mind |
The death of a dandy |
A grand dilly dandy |
Let’s dip our maraschinos |
In a glass of cherry brandy |
You’re all out of witticism |
No longer bonne-vivant |
They all wait for you to sparkle |
In the end you said you can’t |
Lay your head down on the pillow |
Spray yourself with rose' |
Place your mirror on the bedside |
Kiss the only one you love |
Sometimes all the love in the world |
Is never quite enough |
They never really knew you |
Never saw you looking rough |
It’s all this pointless life |
A total waste of time |
Everything moves on so fast |
And we get left behind |
The death of a dandy |
A funeral for a lord |
The death of Narcissus |
Another angel fall |
In your youth you had enough beauty |
That you could make a hard man cry |
But it was written in your legend |
That you had to die |
Sometimes all the love in the world |
Is never quite enough |
They love you and adore you |
But only when you’re dressing up |
It’s all this useless love |
A total waste of time |
One day the sun will dim and die |
With no one left to mind |
The death of a dandy |
A grand dilly dandy |
Let’s dip our maraschinos |
In a glass of cherry brandy |
The death of a dandy |
Oh, what an occasion |
But you are simply sobbing |
With just the rasons |
The death of a dandy |
The faith of a prince |
Your chateau Brianne |
We’re just here to miss |
The death of a dandy |
A funeral for a lord |
The death of Narcissus |
Another angel fall |
