Lyrics:

Take off your coat of many colors
And throw it on the floor
Like your old discarded lovers
The ones you cant 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 youre dressing up

Its 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
Lets dip our maraschinos
In a glass of cherry brandy

Youre all out of witticism
No longer bonne-vivant
They all wait for you to sparkle
In the end you said you cant

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

Its 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 youre dressing up

Its 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
Lets 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
Were just here to miss

The death of a dandy
A funeral for a lord
The death of Narcissus
Another angel fall
