hemmed in like a boar between arches
her very Lowness with her head in a sling
                           D (xx0232@1)                   EI'm (022100@1)truly sorry but it sounds like a wonderful thing
BI (x2444x@1)say Charles don't you ever crave
to appear on the front of the Daily Mail

         BAnd (x2444x@1)so I checked all the registered historical facts
and I was shocked into shame to discover
how I'm the 18th pale descendent
           D (xx0232@1)         Eof (022100@1)some old queen or other
    BOh (x2444x@1)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
                           D (xx0232@1)                          EG  AG#m  GI (320003@1)swear to God, I swear I never even knew what drugs were
     BSo (x2444x@1)I broke into the Palace
with a sponge and a rusty spanner
she said: "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
                                      D (xx0232@1)        EI (022100@1)said: "that's nothing - you should hear me play piano"
     BWe (x2444x@1)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
         D (xx0232@1)            E (022100@1)   G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) G#m (133111@4)Gno-one (320003@1)talks about castration
   BWe (x2444x@1)can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
like love and law and poverty
 D (xx0232@1)                    Ethese (022100@1)are the things that kill me

(same as above)
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
but the rain that flattens my hair
these are the things that kill me
            BPassed (x2444x@1)the pub that saps your body
and the church who'll snatch your money
             Dthe (xx0232@1)Queen is dead, boys
            Eand (022100@1)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
B (x2444x@1)              D (xx0232@1)            ELife (022100@1)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
