Wire - The Queen Of Ur And The King Of Um lyrics
rate mePainted statues in underground streams<br />
With invitations to the Pharoah's dream<br />
They stare at themselves, there's a need to be seen<br />
Walking mirrors in the Pharoah's harem<br />
And here they come<br />
The queen of Ur<br />
And the king of Um<br />
Tainted Matthews in car-key relations<br />
Gilt invitations to the blue queen's ball<br />
They stare at themselves, there's a need to be seen<br />
Talking pillars in the blue queen's hall<br />
Fading tatoos of empty stations<br />
Great expectations at Vince's loyal mince<br />
They stare at each other, there's a need to be seen<br />
Crack-head mirrors, licking the soiled mint<br />
Olympic statues from terminal stations<br />
Sifting invitations to the market floor<br />
Steering into the future, it pays to be seen<br />
Polishing mirrors, keeping the score<br />
A babbling gaggle, a scrabbling rabble<br />
Fighting invitations to the emporor's shilling<br />
They stare through themselves, there's nothing to see<br />
Hand-picked recruits for ghostly pursuit
