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
