Story about this misheard lyric by: Curlibear I honestly thought this was about a hungry dog. For years I tried to find this song by searching for the lyrics in which I thought were real. No wonder I never got anywhere. It was only when someone hard my singing it to myself that I eventually found out the truth. |

Dated Lyrics:
"Diana"
The Dated Lyrics: Her eyes china blue stars - she's born that way
She tastes like apple strudel - you can tell she does With arms that hold swet William to her breast I hope they're crying in their sleep For promises they cannot keep That's why the boys and girls love Diana Why They're Dated: Recorded in 1985 for the 'Protest Songs' album (which was then put in storage until '89 because it didn't seem a punchy enough follow-up to their breakthrough 'Steve McQueen' aka 'Two Wheels Good') this is one of the first pop songs about Diana. princess of Wales. Paddy seems to be after the media hype around Lady Di here. The final verse quoted almost presages the break-up of the marriage.
