The Queen Is Dead |
Oh, take me back to dear old Blighty |
Put me on the train for London Town |
Take me anywhere |
Drop me anywhere |
In Liverpool, Leeds or Birmingham |
But I don’t care |
I should like to see— |
I don’t bless them |
Farewell to this land’s cheerless marshes |
Hemmed in like a boar between archers |
Her very Lowness with her head in a sling |
I’m truly sorry but it sounds like a wonderful thing |
I say Charles don’t you ever crave |
To appear on the front of the Daily Mail |
Dressed in your mother’s bridal veil? |
(Oh, oh-oh, oh) |
And so I checked all the registered historical facts |
And I was shocked into shame to discover |
How I’m the 18th pale descendent |
Of some old queen or other |
Oh has the world changed, or have I changed? |
Oh has the world changed, or have I changed? |
Some nine year old tough who peddles drugs |
I swear to God, I swear I never even knew what drugs were |
(Oh, oh-oh, oh) |
So I broke into the Palace |
With a sponge and a rusty spanner |
She said, «Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing» |
I said, «That's nothing, you should hear me play piano» |
We can go for a walk where it’s quiet and dry |
And talk about precious things |
But when you are tied to your mother’s apron |
No-one talks about castration |
(Oh, oh-oh) |
We can go for a walk where it’s quiet and dry |
And talk about precious things |
Like love and law and poverty, oh, oh |
(These are the things that kill me) |
We can go for a walk where it’s quiet and dry |
And talk about precious things |
But the rain that flattens my hair, oh |
(These are the things that kill me) |
All their lies about makeup and long hair, are still there |
Past the pub that saps your body |
And the church who’ll snatch your money |
The Queen is dead, boys |
And it’s so lonely on a limb |
Pass the pub that wrecks your body |
And the church, all they want is your money |
The Queen is dead, boys |
And it’s so lonely on a limb |
Life is very long, when you’re lonely |
Life is very long, when you’re lonely |
Life is very long, when you’re lonely |
Life is very long, when you’re lonely |
