LYRICS:
Defeated by Octavian, that weed we don’t respect
Our faction killed in Actium as my poor Ant has been decked
(Yeah, I was wrecked)
Now it’s t-h-e e-n-d, I’m sure that spells the end for me
Octavian will display me in a cage, the world will gloat
I can’t go on, will be paraded round the streets
Octavian, not your exotic parakeet
Not your spoils from victory, I’ll spoil your party
I can’t go on!
I’m miserable, I’m so depressed, how did it come to this?
Octavian don’t like me ‘cos I dumped his plain old sis for Queen Isis
I’m trying to sustain our rule, don’t hold me up to ridicule
Snap out of this you moping fool, you’re not helping at all!
I can’t go on, without my sweet Roman romance
My love has gone, living alone not in my plans
Octavian, my boss? I’d sooner eat my head
I can’t go on!
I must try and capture Cleo. Octavian must not take me-o
She’ll kill herself just for me? She must adore me
I’ll foil Octavian with this plot
She’s dead? Not yet, I’m not!
She must not die, so much more popular than me
And so I die! This will look bad on my CV
Antony and Cleo gone, what a blooming pair of drama Queens!
So all hail me!
