Long Live The Queen

Long Live The Queen 歌詞
I was sipping on a Whiskey when I got the call
Yeah, my friend Lex was lying in the hospital
Shed been pretty sick for about half a year
But it seems liked this time the end was drawing near
So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train
I found her laid up and in a lot of pain
Her eyes met mine and then I understood
That her weather forecast wasnt looking too good
So I sat and spun her stories for a little while
Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile
But she silenced all my rambling with a shake of her head
Drew me close and listen , this is what she said now:
'Youll live to dance another day'
'Its just now youll have to dance'
'For the two of us so stop looking so damn depressed'
'And sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead'
Yeah, she told me she was sick of all the hospital food
And of doctors distant relatives draining her blood
She said 'I know Im dying '
'But Im not finished just yet'
'I am dying for a drink and for a cigarette'
So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel
In the centre of the City and to raise some Hell
Lay waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep
Then we know were good and done
'Youll live to dance another day
Its just now youll have to dance
For the two of us
So stop looking so damn depressed
And sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead'
And South Londons not the same anymore
The Queen is dead
And the last of the great has finally gone to bed
Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up
She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasnt waking up
And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done
I felt bad for not being there and now, well she was gone
So I tried to think what Lex would want me to do
At times like this when I was feeling blue
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad news
And we headed to the City for a drink or two
And we sang
'We live to dance another day'
'Its just now we have to dance for one more of us'
'So stop looking so damn depressed'
'And sing with all our hearts
'LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!'
