[Verse 1]
I was born a blonde, I've always been a princess
A queen of hearts, now a mother
Where is the replacement for the world's front cover?
From one English Rose to another

[Chorus]
I want to be the new Diana
Lying on a yacht reading photo-magazines
I want to be the new Diana
Visiting the shore occasionally

[Verse 2]
Shimmering blue ocean, diving in at starboard
Perfection for a second away from the hoard
Deep-sea fishermen toil in the sunset
Dragging in a mermaid caught in the fishing-nets

[Chorus]
I want to be the new Diana
(Okay, hello)
Lying on a yacht reading photo-magazines
I want to be the new Diana
(Okay, hello)
Visiting the shore occasionally
[Verse 3]
Miss South Of England, Miss United Kingdom
The heart that healed, the hand that fed
Lady of the lake, lady in red
Island in an island, in an island

[Chorus]
I want to be the new Diana
(Okay, hello)
Lying on a yacht reading photo-magazines
I want to be the new Diana
(Okay, hello)
Visiting the shore occasionally

[Verse 4]
Politics and minefields, press and P.R
These are bad places for a queen of hearts
Where are the heads, where's the republic
Where are the songs that made the nation cry?

[Chorus]
I want to be the new Diana
(Okay, hello)
Lying on a yacht reading photo-magazines
I want to be the new Diana
(Okay, hello)
Visiting the shore occasionally
I want to be the new Diana
(Okay, hello)
Lying on a yacht reading photo-magazines
I want to be the new Diana
(Okay, hello)
Visiting the shore occasionally
[Outro]
Visiting the shore occasionally
Visiting occasionally
Just visiting
