The Queen Is Dead rank Lyrics

    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
