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
|
