The Queen Is Dead (A Film by Derek Jarman)
([Oh! Take me back to dear old Blighty, Put me on the train for London Town, Take me anywhere, Drop me anywhere, Liverpool, Leeds or Birmingham'Cause I don't care, I should like to see my... I don't bless them])
([Farewell...]) to this land's cheerless marshes Hemmed in like a boar between arches Her very Lowness with her head in a sling I'm truly sorry 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? As some 9-year old tough who peddles drugs (I swear to God, I swear) I never even knew what drugs were And so I broke into the Palace With a sponge and a rusty spanner She said: 'Eh, 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But when you're tied to your Mother's apron No one talks about castration We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry And talk about precious things Like love and law and poverty These are the things that kill me We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry And talk about precious things But the rain that flattens my hair These are the things that kill me
([All their life, they make love, and pierce through me])
Passed 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 Passed 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])
