2013 West End The Light Princess Musical - Better Than Good Lyrics
Performed by Rosalie Craig. Composed by Tori Amos. Book and Lyrics by Samuel Adamson.
Althea: The morning after the, the night before. The story –
Servants: Scandalous!
Althea: Quite frankly I couldn’t care less, I’m the most disgraceful princess! Sweet bliss! Care to hear more?
Servants: Here are shoes – Well, they’re more like Cumbersome rocks. These will keep her down – Tailored shoes Customised with Great golden blocks. What were you thinking? How did it happen? They say you danced.
Althea: Yes, an air ballet!
Servants: Devil’s work, you are possessed!
Althea: Oh, I’m possessed? – shock! – how amazing! For the first time in my life I feel great – no wait – I feel one magnificent ache, For the first time in my life It feels good, better than good, To be me!
Servants: What a rotten stunt, What a rotten slight, What an evil witch, What a horrid plight, Throw her mother’s books In the bloody fire! Throw the orphan out! Throw the orphan out!
Althea: The morning after the, the night before, The glory! The fury!
Servants: There are laws, there are taboos!
Althea: Well, I broke them and here is the news: Finally, I am truly beginning to feel. I seem to feel liking For swooning and sighing – These seem to like smooching. Sound all the trumpets, a prince Dropped certain hints that he likes light girls. For the first time I can feel My legs ache, no, I must say: My legs quake. And I must say: He was one edible, delectable, Muscular cake! For the first time in my life It feels good, better than good, Better than I ever knew that it could For the first time in my life It feels good, better than good, To be me!
