[Lyric] The Words Came Pouring Out (Diana Original Broadway Cast)

[DIANA]
There are powerful men
There are vindictive people
Who won't sleep at night
'Till they see me destroyed

All those friends of the palace
Who are nothing but callous
Who track me everywhere
Yet call me paranoid

They've all taken his side
They've all made their choice
They chose their prince, so now
I need a voice

[ANDREW]
Then the words came pouring out
Yes, the words came pouring out
A dam that burst, a Windsor first
When the words came pouring out
[DIANA]
So now, the truth about Charles
And yes, his mistress, Camilla
He's a third-rate Henry VIII
And she's Godzilla

He loved me for a bit
When I delivered his heir
But Harry was soon born
He even got his spare

He longed for a girl
I gave him a son
And just like that
The marriage was done

[ANDREW]
And the words came pouring out
Yes, the words came pouring out
It makes one wince and pity the prince
When the words came pouring out

[DIANA]
A marriage built on lies
The depression, the bulimia
Each day I'm brutalized
Assaulted by the media
My suicide attempts
A Kensington estrangement
We're leading separate lives
In this royal rearrangement

[ANDREW]
And the truth came pouring out
Yes, the truth came pouring out
A tabloid war never seen before
When the truth came pouring out

[CAMILLA]
A kingdom fooled by a girl unschooled

[ELIZABETH]
A monarch maligned
Has she lost her mind?

[ENSEMBLE]
Our eyes are opened
To say the least
Our beauty married a princely beast

A life of desperation
In the Windsor corporation
[ANDREW]
Oh my bloody Christ
We've caused a sensation!

[ENSEMBLE]
Every revelation
A brand-new sensation!

Sensation!

[SERVANT, spoken]
Your morning paper, sir

[CHARLES, spoken]
Well, put it down

[ENSEMBLE, sung]
Sensation!

[SERVANT, spoken]
As long as you're prepared, sir

[ENSEMBLE, sung]
A marriage built on lies
The depression, the bulimia
Nothing justifies
Her assault by the media

Her suicide attempts
A Kensington estrangement
They're leading separate lives
In this royal rearrangement

This certainly preempts
All our other entertainment

[CHARLES, spoken]
Damn her!

[ANDREW, sung]
Then the hate came pouring out
Yes, the hate came pouring out

[CHARLES]
A nation beguiled by a spiteful child

[ANDREW]
Yes, the hate came pouring out

[DIANA]
I'll strip the prince
Of all his pretenses
Petty tyranny has consequences

[Ensemble]
Then the words came pouring out
Yes, the words came pouring out

[ANDREW & CHARLES]
A palace conned by a cunning blonde

[Ensemble]
And the words came pouring out

[CHARLES]
All the drama she creates
Without our permission
The lies and the hate
And the borderline sedition

[CHARLES & ELIZABETH & CAMILLA, ENSEMBLE]
All the drama she creates (And the words)
Without our permission (Came pouring out)
The lies and the hate (And the words)
And the borderline sedition (Came pouring out)

[DIANA]
I suppose it's time
For a reality check
The pretty, pretty princess
Just stuck out her neck

[ENSEMBLE]
And the words...
And the words came pouring out
