The Queen Is Dead / Take Me Back to Dear Old Blighty (Medley) - 2008 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, but I don't care
 I should like to see—
 ♪
 (I don't bless them)
 (Farewell) to this land's cheerless marshes
 Hemmed in like a boar between arches
 Her very Lowness with a head in a sling
 I'm truly sorry, but it sounds like a wonderful thing
 
 I said, "Charles, don't you ever crave
 To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
 Dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?
 (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
 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 swear I never even knew what drugs were
 (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
 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
 But when you're tied to your Mother's apron
 No one talks about castration
 (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
 We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
 And talk about precious things
 Like love and law and poverty, oh, oh
 (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, oh
 (These are the things that kill me)
 All their lies about makeup and long hair are still there
 Past the pub who saps 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 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
