The Smiths - THE QUEEN IS DEAD (RANK) lyrics

rate me

HELLO !

Farewell to these marshes

Hemmed in like a boar between arches

Her very Lowness with a head in a sling

I'm truly sorry - it sounds like a wonderful thing

I said Charles, don't you ever craze

To appear on the front of the Daily Mail

Blessed in your Mother's bridal veil ?

Oh ...

And so, I checked all the registered historical facts

I was shocked into shame to discover

I am the 18th pale descendant

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 9-year old tough who peddles drugs

I swear to God

I never even knew what drugs were

So, I broke into the palace

With a sponge and a rusty spanner

She said : "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're tied to your Mother's apron

No-one talk about ...

Past the Pub who breaks your body

And the church who'll snatch your money

The Queen is dead, boys

And it's so lonely on a limb

Past the Pub who wrecks your body

And the church - all they want is your money

The Queen is dead, boys

You can trust me, boys

Life is very long, when you're lonely

Life is very long, when you're lonely
