intro : G A G#m G
B
farewell to this land’s cheerless marches
hemmed in like a boar between arches
her very lowness with her head in a sling
D E
i’m truly sorry but it sounds like a wonderful thing
B
i say charles don’t you ever crave
to appear on the front of the daily mail
D E G A G#m G
dressed in your mother’s bridal veil?
B
and so i checked all the registered historical facts
and i was shocked into shame to discover
how i’m the 18th pale descendent
D E
of some old queen or other
B
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
D E G A G#m G
i swear to god , i swear i never even knew what drugs were
B
so i broke into the palace
with a sponge and a rusty spanner
she said : “eh , i know you , and you cannot sing”
D E
i said : “that’s nothing – you should hear me play piano”
B
we can go for a walk where it’s quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
but when you are tied to your mother’s apron
D E G A G#m G
no – one talks about castration
B
we can go for a walk where it’s quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
like love and law and poverty
D E
these are the things that kill me
( same as above )
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
B
passed the pub that saps your body
and the church who’ll snatch your money
D
the queen is dead , boys
E
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
B D E
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
