Julian loves me!
The little matchgirl realises that in her joy she has carelessly thrown her papers to the floor.
The swallow takes a jewel from the Happy Prince to cheer her up again, and together they sing.
'Leaf after leaf of the fine gold the swallow picked off until the happy prince was quite dull and grey. Leaf after leaf of the fine gold the swallow he brought to the poor until the children's faces grew rosier and they laughed and played games in the street.'

He loves me
He loves me not
He cares
He cares not
Day to day he blows cold to hot
Yet I love him
I love him a lot

Nothing exists, no world outside
What he said last night, how I feel inside
Bad news?

I'm just thinking of him, and whether or not
