The Queen Is Dead - 2011 Remaster

(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)

 (By land, by sea)
 Farewell to this land's cheerless marshes
 Hemmed in like a boar between archers
 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?" Ooh, ooh, ooh
 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
 Ooh, oh-oh, ooh
 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 the 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 castration, ooh, oh-oh, ooh
 We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
 And talk about precious things
 Like love and law and poverty, ooh-ooh
 (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, ooh
 (These are the things that kill me)
 All their life, they make love and then pierce through me
 Pass 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
