歌词
Farewell, cheerless marshes
Hemmed in like a boar between archers
Her very lowness with her head in a sling
But it sounds like a wonderful thing
I say "Charles, don't you ever crave
To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
Dressed in your mother's bridal veil?"
♪
And so I checked all the registered historical facts
And I was shocked into shame to discover
How I'm 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 nine 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 "Eh, I know 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 talks about...
♪
Past the pub that saps your body
And the church who'll snatch your money
The Queen is dead, boys
And it's so lonely on a limb
Pass the pub that wrecks your body
And the church, all they want is your money
The Queen is dead, boys
And it's so lonely on a limb

Life is very long when you're lonely
