Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Cullimore, Heaton
[00:21.31] They smiled so much and waved their flags
[00:26.40] As she saluted to the military band
[00:31.63] Most of the people failed to see
[00:36.57] She had a broken bottle in the other hand
[00:42.37]
[00:42.89] And she took them by surprise
[00:44.98] When she took them by the throat
[00:47.75] And said 'My friend, you're not allowed to vote'
[00:52.16]
[00:52.55] But they shook it all off
[00:55.45] With a nervous laugh and cough
[00:58.12] 'Next time,' she said, 'I'll let those people choke'
[01:05.72]
[01:06.14] The people who grinned themselves to death
[01:08.70] Smiled so much, they failed to take a breath
[01:11.20] And even when their kids were starving
[01:13.63] They all thought the queen was charming
[01:16.25] (x2)
[01:27.11]
[01:36.33] She polished all upon the wall
[01:41.09] And ran her hands right through her hair
[01:46.47] So if the lady took the time to call
[01:51.30] All the houses on the street would not compare
[01:56.87]
[01:57.26] And she thought it really funny
[01:59.71] That she hadn't any money
[02:02.22] But those she looked up to, they had, ooh
[02:07.29]
[02:07.60] But they shook it all off
[02:10.06] With a nervous laugh and cough
[02:12.57] And when they took her riches, it was sad
[02:19.83]
[02:20.46] The people who grinned themselves to death
[02:23.54] Smiled so much, they failed to take a breath
[02:25.73] And even when their kids were starving
[02:28.19] They all thought the queen was charming
[02:30.98] (x2)
