[CallMeIshmael]

Rose, you never used your thorns
The ones you loved abandoned you
Your angel face made hearts so warm
You helped the sick, but who helped you?
Then rushing through the Paris night
They hounded you, you lost control
We prayed that you would be all right
The news came through, your body cold
Goodnight, my sweet princess...

Is that originally about Princess Diana?

Originally. But it fits perfectly, doesn't it?

Not the car crash bit.

Well...

Your relationship with Lee is a bit like a car crash.

In Paris?

City of love.

You're right. It fits perfectly. Thank you.

Every breath you take
Every move you make, yeah...
