THE QUEEN IS DEAD

Farewell
To this lands cheerless marches
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 descendent
Of some old queen or other
Has the world changed, or have I changed?
Has the world changed, or have I changed?
Some 9-year old tough 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
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 lies about make up
And long hair they’re still there)

Passed 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

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

Life is very long, when you’re lonely
Life is very long, when you’re lonely
Life is very long, when you’re lonely
Life is very long, when you’re lonely

9 tanker om “The Queen is dead, boys…”

  1. Nej, til orientering var Nürnberg stedet, hvor NSDAP holdt deres årlige kongresser… og når man hører Espersen udtale sig, er det ind imellem som at se gamle sort-hvide film fra dengang… 😉

  2. Espersen, kommer han fra Nürnberg? Mig bekendt er han nordjyde og har været bosat i England og gift med en britisk jøde.

  3. Du har ret, Pastor – den plejer jeg faktisk at bruge, men man skal ofte passe på, når man skriver på nettet, for folk bliver så forfærdeligt stødt nogle gange. 😉

    Men seriøst – forestil jeg eksempelvis en Søren Espersen som justitsminister… det første ord, der dukker op i min knold ved den tanke, er “Nürnberg”…

  4. I hvert fald må man sige, at Messerchmidt klart overstrålede Bendtsen og Rohde i den forgangne valgkamp. Hold da kæft han er irriterende dygtig!

  5. hold da op…..jeg vidste ikke, man kunne afskaffe monarkiet bare ved at stemme blankt. Kan man så også afskaffe demokratiet ved at sofavælge? 😉

  6. Ja ja. Jeg har været henne for at stemme blankt – for første og forhåbentlig sidste gang i min tid som vælger.
