[Originally posted last April and lost in the EZ-crash]
The day is finally upon us when the homely Prince Charles will take the hoof of Camilla Parker Bowles as they publicly confess their adulterous sins and get married at last. Yet another royally awkward situation for the Windsors, but it does make a good excuse for presenting this regal little Church lyrics quiz. So print it out, go sit on the throne, and squeeze out some answers.
Answers and scoring are below. Note: Not necessarily all queens referenced are of the royal persuasion.

The Lyrics:
1.
Princes, kings and humble things are well-worn and content
2.
Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style
3.
Emperor cries immortal from the grime
Sun is in the hole in the sky
4.
...an aimless king
5.
Jags and riches
Queens and witches
6.
Invited by our queen tonight
7.
I know with a sneer you claim to have been Guinevere
But I am not Lancelot, I was never King Arthur
8.
We're marching laughing to the drum
Waiting for those kings to come
9.
The king had something changed within him
I should have told him no
10.
Mechanical bird of prey
Sing for your emperor
11.
Out there the Snow Queen is kidnapping boys
12.
The emperor's clothes are the best for the proles
13.
A metaphor is a goddess
A king that's fit for a queen
14.
Now Lucy looks sweet cause she dresses like a queen
And she can kick like a mule, it's a real mean team
But we can love, oh yeah, we can love
15.
You can live like a king on a throne of tears
It's a mighty long way from the innocent years

Prince Charles was driving around his mother's estate when he
accidentally ran over her favourite dog, a Corgi, crushing it to a
pulp. He got out of his Range Rover and sat down on the grass totally
distraught.
The whole world was against him and now his mother would go ballistic.
Suddenly he noticed a lamp half-buried in the ground. He dug it up,
polished it and immediately a genie appeared.
"You have freed me from thousands of years of imprisonment," said the
genie. "As a reward I shall grant you one wish."
"Well," said the Prince, "I have all the material things I need, but
let me show you this dog."
They walk over to the splattered remains of the dog. "Do you think you
could bring this dog back to life for me?" the Prince asked. The genie
carefully looked at the remains and shook his head. "This body is too
far gone for even me to bring it back to life. Is there something else
you would like?"
The Prince thought for a minute, reached into his pocket and pulled
out two photos. "I was married to this beautiful woman called Diana,"
said Prince Charles, showing the genie the first photo. "But now I love
this woman called Camilla," and he showed the genie the second photo.
"You see Camilla isn't beautiful at all, so do you think you can make
Camilla as beautiful as Diana?"
The genie studied the two photographs and after a few minutes said,
"Let's have a look at that dog again."
