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
Oh, vrati me u dragi stari Blighty
Stavite me u vlak za London Town
Uzmi me bilo gdje
Ispusti me bilo gdje
U Liverpoolu, Leedsu ili Birminghamu
Ali nije me briga
Volio bih vidjeti -
[Intro 2]
Ne blagoslivljam ih
[Stih 1]
(Oproštaj) s močvarama ove zemlje
Obrubljen poput svinja između strijelaca
Njezina vrlo udjela s glavom u remenu
Iskreno mi je žao, ali zvuči kao divna stvar
Kažem Charles, zar nikad ne žudiš
Pojaviti se na prednjem dijelu Daily Mail
Odjeven u majčinu mladenku?
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Stih 2]
I tako sam provjerio sve registrirane povijesne činjenice
I bio sam šokiran sramotom da otkrijem
Kako sam 18. blijedi potomak
Neke stare kraljice ili druge
Oh, je li se svijet promijenio ili sam se promijenio?
Oh, je li se svijet promijenio ili sam se promijenio?
Nekoliko devetogodišnjaka tvrdog koji probija drogu
Kunem se Bogom, kunem se da nikad nisam ni znao kakve su droge
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Stih 3]
Tako sam provalio u palaču
S spužvom i zahrđalim kljunom
Rekla je: "Eh, znam te, i ne možeš pjevati"
Rekao sam: "To nije ništa, trebao bi me čuti kako sviram klavir"
Možemo ići u šetnju gdje je tiho i suho
I razgovarati o dragocjenim stvarima
Ali kad ste vezani za majčinu pregaču
Nitko ne govori o kastraciji
(Oh oh oh)
[Stih 4]
Možemo ići u šetnju gdje je tiho i suho
I razgovarati o dragocjenim stvarima
Poput ljubavi i zakona i siromaštva, oh, oh
(To su stvari koje me ubijaju)
Možemo ići u šetnju gdje je tiho i suho
I razgovarati o dragocjenim stvarima
Ali kiša koja mi izravnava kosu, oh
(To su stvari koje me ubijaju)
Sve njihove laži o šminkanju i dugoj kosi su još uvijek tu
[Stih 5]
Prošli pub koji prelijeva vaše tijelo
I crkva koja će vam ugrabiti novac
Kraljica je mrtva, dječaci
I tako je usamljeno na udu
Prođite pub koji uništava vaše tijelo
I crkva, sve što žele je vaš novac
Kraljica je mrtva, dječaci
I tako je usamljeno na udu
[Outro]
Život je jako dug, kad ste usamljeni
Život je jako dug, kad ste usamljeni
Život je jako dug, kad ste usamljeni
Život je jako dug, kad ste usamljeni
