[00:41.21] Farewell to this land's cheerless marches
[00:46.55] Hemmed in like a boar between arches
[00:49.81] Her very Lowness with her head in a sling
[00:52.38] I'm truly sorry but it sounds like a wonderful thing
[01:00.06] I say Charles don't you ever crave
[01:03.60] To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
[01:07.34] Dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?
[01:17.12] And so I checked all the registered historical facts
[01:20.59] And I was shocked into shame to discover
[01:23.77] How I'm the 18th pale descendent
[01:27.40] Of some old queen or other
[01:30.82] Oh has the world changed, or have I changed?
[01:34.16] Oh has the world changed, or have I changed?
[01:37.53] Some nine year old tough who peddles drugs
[01:40.62] I swear to God, I swear I never even knew what drugs were
[01:51.17] So I broke into the Palace
[01:54.44] With a sponge and a rusty spanner
[01:57.57] She said: 'Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing
[02:00.45] I said: 'that's nothing - you should hear me play piano
[02:04.87] We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
[02:08.51] And talk about precious things
[02:11.63] But when you are tied to your mother's apron
[02:15.02] No-one talks about castration
[02:25.38] We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
[02:28.85] And talk about precious things
[02:32.04] Like love and law and poverty
[02:36.76] These are the things that kill me
[02:39.53] We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
[02:43.10] And talk about precious things
[02:45.99] But the rain that flattens my hair
[02:50.34] These are the things that kill me
[03:03.46] Passed the pub that saps your body
[03:06.60] And the church who'll snatch your money
[03:09.56] The Queen is dead, boys
[03:12.03] And it's so lonely on a limb
[03:16.98] Pass the pub that wrecks your body
[03:20.19] And the church, all they want is your money
[03:22.87] The Queen is dead, boys
[03:25.38] And it's so lonely on a limb
[03:42.94] Life is very long, when you're lonely
[03:56.46] Life is very long, when you're lonely
[04:10.22] Life is very long, when you're lonely
[04:24.03] Life is very long, when you're lonely
