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
