-- If You Lived In The Prince's House --
(unreleased) circa 1983


Lyrics:

If you lived in the prince's house
If you lived in the prince's house

There'd be a room full of boxes
And every box is full of money
And if you want to go travelling, don't need a Swiss account
Just stuff your pockets with the currency you want

If you lived in the prince's house
If you lived in the prince's house

You'd have three hundred servants
To look after every need
And they work all day for the minimum pay
And the women all are pretty and they do just what you say

If you lived in the prince's house
If you lived in the prince's house
If you lived in the prince's house
If you lived in the prince's house

With your walls and tented windows
You'll be immune to the local law
You'll ride a limo to the airport
With a briefcase full of bills
And fly away while the colonel
[???] upon the hill

If you lived in the prince's house
If you lived in the prince's house
If you lived in the prince's house
If you lived in the prince's house
