lyrics

Jocasta Regina
She really should've been a
Star of the screen
Not on the arm of the regime
But oh what a whirl
She had such a spark
In her youth she was the hottest girl
Since Joan Of Arc

Jocasta Regina
As sharp as a guillotine
Lit up the media
Then poured on the gasoline
Burning so bright
But now dimmed down low
Her heart sealed up tight
Like a pistachio

Jocasta Regina
A lioness to our low hyena
Such a demeanour
Someone ought to quarantine her
She seemed to float
As though walking on air
With her thirty yard petticoat
And a thousand yard stare

Jocasta Regina
You must have seen her
Always pressed up between the
Paragraphs in magazines
Starved to perfection
Unsexed by grief
A strange predilection
If you suspend disbelief

Jocasta Regina
Some kind of modern fairy queener
None supremer
Hit me with your court subpoena
We can't get enough
Though we clearly resent
She's not capable of love
Just affectionate contempt

Jocasta Regina
A walking Deus Ex Machina
Hard to believe a
Single thing they say about her
She looks so sad
But we've all had a laugh
They say she's half mad
Though they don't say which half
