Dreaming Of The Queen Lyrics

The song is about AIDS and its effect on the gay community (before retroviral drugs arrived), hence 'there were no more lovers left alive'. Waking up in a sweat was a symptom of AIDS.

Obviously love never lasted in the Queen's family for other reasons. The song was on 'Very', released in 1994 (three years before Diana died in Paris) - obviously you won't hear it on the radio now which is a great shame because it is an excellent song.
