Lyrics:

And every Prince
Who lives in Greece
Will tear themselves to pieces for this beauty
Born of a swan
Jesus, don't be long
Let her body sweat above mine in the summertime
And was it she who wrote
'Porn is Woman Hatred' on my overcoat?
Christ, I need that coat
'Cause it's cold outside
It really shouldn't be this cold in summertime

When she lies with me
Will she forget I'm ugly?
Will she pretend I'm pretty?
Oh, I've lived a lie
I stole a pretty bride during the summertime

Why must she taunt me so?
She still has his scent
She still wears the suitor's clothes
I've lived a lie
I stole a pretty bride during the summertime
And when the swan coupled with the goose
They conceived a holy beauty and they let her loose
And she caused a war for ten long years
By running off with me, she caused her husband tears
And those big clipper ships
They're heading straight for me
And I just want to kiss her properly
Oh, those big clipper ships
They're heading straight for me
And I haven't even kissed her properly
When she lies with me
Will she forget I'm ugly?
Will she pretend I'm pretty?
Oh, I've lived a lie
I stole a pretty bride during the summertime

Why must she taunt me so?
She still has his scent
She still wears the suitor's clothes
I've lived a lie
I stole a pretty bride during the summertime

And when I stepped in her room
With silver sword in hand
She stood there semi-naked
The sword fell from my hand
She let the silk slip
Gently fall from her hips
And, Christ, I want to kiss her
Because heaven lies within her lips
Oh, when she lies with me
Will she forget I'm ugly?
Will she pretend I'm pretty?
Oh, I've lived a lie
I stole a pretty bride during the summertime

Why must she taunt me so?
She still has his scent
She still wears the bastard's clothes
I've lived a lie
I stole a pretty bride during the summertime

A pretty bride

During the summertime
