music: "Ophelia" by Natalie Merchant.

Ophelia was a bride of god
A novice Carmelite
In sister cells the cloister bells
Tolled on her wedding night

Ophelia was a rebel girl
A blue stocking suffragette
Who remedied society
Between her cigarettes

Ophelia was a sweetheart
To the nation over night
Curvaceous thighs
Vivacious eyes
Love was at first sight...

Ophelia was a demigoddess
In pre war Babylon
So statuesque a silhouette
In black satin evening gowns

Ophelia was the mistress to a
Vegas gambling man
Signora Ophelia Maraschina
Mafia courtesan

Ophelia was a circus queen
The female cannonball
Projected through five flaming hoops
To wild and shocked applause...

Ophelia was a cyclone, tempest
A god damned hurricane
Your common sense
Your best defense
Lay wasted and in vain

Ophelia'd know your every woe
And pain you'd ever had
She'd sympathize
And dry your eyes
And help you to forget...

Ophelia's mind went wandering
You'd wonder where she'd gone
Through secret doors
Down corridors
She'd wander them alone
All alone...

  • What is the name of the music in the beginning....the first 18 seconds.

  • @Googlemonkey8 :) /watch?v=2w0HArmTuVs

  • I wish someone would make a good montage of Princess Diana to this song.

  • @eddiesanford07 I would need very much good vid material of her, maybe I can do it ;)

  • I like your Marie Antoinette "Ophelia", but I love this one. I think the Duchess fits better, especially from 2:35 on. Have you heard "For Guinevere" by Heather Dale? I think that would also fit the Duchess story very well.

  • @PiepMiau04 Thank you...the whole music is very beautiful but the beginning music is very haunting:)

  • this made me cry

  • When I heard this song, I thought of this character. I'm glad I'm not the only one who realized the similarities.

  • lindooooooooooooooooo
