myra davies - princess lyrics

[verse 1]
and the princess said to her suitor, she said
“shock me, overwhelm me, make me believe
shock me, overwhelm me, make me believe
if you do this, then gratefully will i submit myself
to love”

[verse 2]
and the psychiatrist said
“this patient is in a state of mourning
for parental love lost at an early stage
she gains a sense of self+esteem
by attaching herself to abusive figures
whom she imagines to be strong
from whom she craves acceptance
and by whom she needs to feel herself supported
such patients, though often charming
tend to have protective shallowness
in emotional relations
or they seek meaning in injury
life itself frequently seems
not worth living”

[verse 3]
and the suitor said to the princess, he said
“resist me, scorn me, put me though h+ll
resist me, scorn me, put me through h+ll
and if you do this, then gratefully will i submit myself
to love”
[verse 4]
and the psychiatrist said
“this patient lacks the capacity to mourn
because of his rage against lost love objects
especially his parents
s+xually promiscuous, hungry for emotion
ravenous for admiration but contemptuous
of those who provide it
he avoids involvement
s+d+stic elements predominate
in the superego of these patients
and they complain of inner emptiness
while entertaining fantasies of omnipotence
and a strong belief in their right
to exploit others”

[verse 5]
the princess and her suitor
fell passionately in love
and did as much damage to themselves
as they could
and if they’re not dead
they’re still at it
