Smiths - The Queen Is Dead (Rank) lyrics

rate me

HELLO ! <br />

Farewell to these marshes <br />

Hemmed in like a boar between arches <br />

Her very Lowness with a head in a sling <br />

I'm truly sorry - it sounds like a wonderful thing <br />

<br />

<br />

I said Charles, don't you ever craze <br />

To appear on the front of the Daily Mail <br />

Blessed in your Mother's bridal veil ? <br />

Oh ... <br />

And so, I checked all the registered historical facts <br />

I was shocked into shame to discover <br />

I am the 18th pale descendant <br />

Of some old queen or other <br />

<br />

<br />

Oh, has the world changed, or have I changed ? <br />

Oh has the world changed, or have I changed ? <br />

<br />

<br />

Some 9-year old tough who peddles drugs <br />

I swear to God <br />

I never even knew what drugs were<br />

So, I broke into the palace <br />

With a sponge and a rusty spanner <br />

She said : "I know you, and you cannot sing"<br />

I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"<br />

<br />

<br />

We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry <br />

And talk about precious things <br />

But when you're tied to your Mother's apron<br />

No-one talk about ...<br />

<br />

<br />

Past the Pub who breaks your body <br />

And the church who'll snatch your money <br />

The Queen is dead, boys <br />

And it's so lonely on a limb <br />

Past the Pub who wrecks your body <br />

And the church - all they want is your money <br />

The Queen is dead, boys <br />

You can trust me, boys <br />

<br />

<br />

Life is very long, when you're lonely<br />

Life is very long, when you're lonely
