\nI remember the day Charles and Diana got married
\nMy lover left me that morning and never came back.
\nAs it turns out the royal couple
\nhad no happy-ever-after either
\nToo mismatched<\/p>\n

\nIt can catch you out
\nLife’s like that, life’s like that
\nBut we do have our moments<\/strong>
\non life’s merry-go-round<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nthe dressmakers glued to the TV to trace the design
\nWhat did it cost?
\nWhich couple bought it?
\nWas it happy-ever-after
\nwalking down the aisle?<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>
\nNot the dress, not the kiss on the balcony
\nnot the photos in the press
\nWhat I recall best of all are the slip-ups
\nin the vows at St Paul’s and my empty flat.<\/p>\n
