Smiths - The Queen Is Dead Lyrics
Hello !Farewell to these marshesHemmed in like a boar between archesHer very lowness with a head in a slingI'm truly sorry - it sounds like a wonderful thingI said charles, don't you ever crazeTo appear on the front of the daily mailBlessed in your mother's bridal veil ?Oh ...And so, i checked all the registered historical factsI was shocked into shame to discoverI am the 18th pale descendantOf some old queen or otherOh, has the world changed, or have i changed ?Oh has the world changed, or have i changed ?Some 9-year old tough who peddles drugsI swear to godI never even knew what drugs wereSo, i broke into the palaceWith a sponge and a rusty spannerShe 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 dryAnd talk about precious thingsBut when you're tied to your mother's apronNo-one talk about ...Past the pub who breaks your bodyAnd the church who'll snatch your moneyThe queen is dead, boysAnd it's so lonely on a limbPast the pub who wrecks your bodyAnd the church - all they want is your moneyThe queen is dead, boysYou can trust me, boysLife is very long, when you're lonelyLife is very long, when you're lonely
