Oh, take me back to dear old Blighty
Put me on the train for London Town
Take me anywhere
Drop me anywhere
Oh, take me back to dear old Blighty
Put me on the train for London Town
Take me anywhere
Drop me anywhere
In Liverpool, Leeds or Birmingham
But I don't care
I should like to see—
[Intro 2]
I don't bless them
[Verse 1]
(Farewell) to this land's cheerless marshes
Hemmed in like a boar between archers
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?
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
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
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
I swear to God, I swear I never even knew what drugs were
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
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 are tied to your mother's apron
No-one talks about castration
(Oh, oh-oh)
[Verse 4]
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
Like love and law and poverty, oh, oh
(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, oh
(These are the things that kill me)
All their lies about makeup and long hair, are still there
[Verse 5]
Past the pub that 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
[Outro]
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
Ah, nirudishe kwa mpendwa mzee Blighty
Niweke kwenye gari moshi kwa London Town
Nipeleke mahali popote
Niangushe popote
Katika Liverpool, Leeds au Birmingham
Lakini sijali
Napenda kuona -
[Intro 2]
Siwabariki
[Mstari wa 1]
(Farewell) kwa mabwawa haya ya furaha ya ardhi
Hemmed kama boar kati ya upinde
Lowness wake sana na kichwa chake katika kombeo
Samahani kweli lakini inaonekana kama jambo la ajabu
Nasema Charles usitamani kamwe
Kuonekana mbele ya Barua ya kila siku
Je! Umevaa pazia la harusi ya mama yako?
(Ah, oh-oh, oh)
[Mstari wa 2]
Na kwa hivyo niliangalia ukweli wote wa kihistoria uliosajiliwa
Na nilishtuka kuwa aibu kugundua
Jinsi mimi ni kizazi cha 18 cha rangi
Ya malkia wa zamani au mwingine
Je! Ulimwengu umebadilika, au nimebadilika?
Je! Ulimwengu umebadilika, au nimebadilika?
Baadhi ya umri wa miaka tisa ni mgumu ambaye anapenda dawa za kulevya
Naapa kwa Mungu, naapa sikuwahi kujua hata dawa gani
(Ah, oh-oh, oh)
[Mstari wa 3]
Kwa hivyo nilivunja ikulu
Na sifongo na spanner ya kutu
Alisema, "Eh, nakujua, na huwezi kuimba"
Nikasema, "Hiyo sio kitu, unapaswa kunisikia nikicheza piano"
Tunaweza kwenda kutembea ambapo ni kimya na kavu
Na zungumza juu ya vitu vya thamani
Lakini wakati umefungwa na apron ya mama yako
Hakuna mtu anayezungumza juu ya uhamishaji
(Ah, oh-oh)
[Mstari wa 4]
Tunaweza kwenda kutembea ambapo ni kimya na kavu
Na zungumza juu ya vitu vya thamani
Kama upendo na sheria na umaskini, oh, oh
(Hizi ndizo vitu ambavyo vinaniua)
Tunaweza kwenda kutembea ambapo ni kimya na kavu
Na zungumza juu ya vitu vya thamani
Lakini mvua ambayo hupunguza nywele zangu, oh
(Hizi ndizo vitu ambavyo vinaniua)
Uongo wao wote juu ya mapambo na nywele ndefu, bado wapo
[Mstari wa 5]
Zamani baa ambayo hupunguza mwili wako
Na kanisa ambalo litanyakua pesa zako
Malkia amekufa, wavulana
Na ni upweke sana kwenye kiungo
Pitisha baa ambayo huvunja mwili wako
Na kanisa, wanachotaka ni pesa zako
Malkia amekufa, wavulana
Na ni upweke sana kwenye kiungo
[Outro]
Maisha ni marefu sana, wakati una upweke
Maisha ni marefu sana, wakati una upweke
Maisha ni marefu sana, wakati una upweke
Maisha ni marefu sana, wakati una upweke
