Who killed Princess Di? - Joe Stead

Originally written in September 1997 with a recent additional verse. I got the idea from Bob Dylan and his song 'Who killed Davey Moore?'

Who killed Princess Di?

Who killed Princess Di, how come she's gone and where's the reason why?

Not I barked the paparazzi, sure we made her run
And of course we got good money, well what would you have done?
Anyway she loved it, we were courted from afar
It was us who made her famous, thanks to us she was a star
And as for all those pictures well we only fuelled a need
You can't blame us for someone else's greed
So, who killed Princess Di, how come she's gone and where's the reason why?

Not us said the public, piling up the flowers
You can see that we all loved her, we've been queuing here for hours
OK, OK, It's true some of us bought The Sun
But after all those pictures were just a bit of fun
Part of life's rich tapestry, the good comes with the bad
How could we have killed her when we all look so sad?
So, who killed Princess Di, how come she's gone and where's the reason why?

Not I sighed old Queenie, sitting on her throne
If she'd been more realistic, she could have stayed at home
It was just an ultimatum, she didn't have to leave
And in that week of silence who said I didn't grieve?
In situations such as this the upper lip is vital
Anyway I loved the girl........I offered back her title
So, who killed Princess Di, how come she's gone and where's the reason why?

Now Tony Blair looked anxious but only for a while,
And then he flashed those wicked eyes, we saw that evil smile
Me kill Di? Me? Well why?
Listen you've seen nothing yet, there are bigger fish to fry
This Paris thing, it might look bad, but it's really not that black
I can tell you now, in a year or two, I'm gonna bomb Iraq
So, who killed Princess Di, how come she's gone and where's the reason why?

Not I moaned the ghost who drove her on that night
The paparazzi I was told.... "Leave 'em out of sight"
Alright it's true, I'd had a drink, but I mean who's not done the same
I'm not the guilty one, it's not me that you should blame
I mean an order is an order, I'm sure you will agree
So don't go pointing any fingers at me
So, who killed Princess Di, how come she's gone and where's the reason why?
