Farewell to this land's cheerless marches
hemmed in like a boar between arches
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
of some old queen or other
Oh has the world changed, or have I changed?
oh has the world changed, or have I changed?
I swear to God, I swear I never even knew what drugs were
So I broke into the Palace
with a sponge and a rusty spanner
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
no-one talks about castration
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
these are the things that kill me
(same as above)
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
Pass the pub that wrecks your body
Life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
