[Verse 1]
You've been this way since school
Dysfunctional, translucent
Royalty on your wall
So desperately mundane
[Pre-Chorus 1]
They're inbred baby just like you
But you'd love the chance to eat their food
Even though it has been chewed
[Chorus 1]
Royal correspondent
Sad and lonely
Royal correspondent
Kills her daily
[Verse 2]
Dream of the Daily Mail
It is the Holy Grail
And then the BBC
Your life would be complete
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Build a fountain, wash away the poor
Just as long as your motives are pure
Hold on tight or you just might lose her
You've been this way since school
Dysfunctional, translucent
Royalty on your wall
So desperately mundane
[Pre-Chorus 1]
They're inbred baby just like you
But you'd love the chance to eat their food
Even though it has been chewed
[Chorus 1]
Royal correspondent
Sad and lonely
Royal correspondent
Kills her daily
[Verse 2]
Dream of the Daily Mail
It is the Holy Grail
And then the BBC
Your life would be complete
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Build a fountain, wash away the poor
Just as long as your motives are pure
Hold on tight or you just might lose her
