Everybody used to know her name

 She used to be famous

we used to see her on tv

she used to ride in a beautiful car

with a chauffeur at the wheel

people used to travel miles

Photographers used to smile

we used to see her picture in the papers

and everybody used to know her name

lots of people used to send her flowers 

but it couldnt last for ever 

cos nothing lasts for ever

and nothing stays the same

she used to be a queen 

of the cinema screen

we used to see her photograph

on the covers of magazines

all the porters  at the station

used to run to take her case

but now she walks down the street

and no one knows her face 

she used to be a queen

of the cinema screen

but nothing lasts for ever

no nothing lasts for ever

and nothing stays the same.
