Long Live The Queen - Frank Turner[00:00:00]
I was sipping on a Whiskey when I got the call[00:00:12]
Yeah my friend Lex was lying in the hospital[00:00:15]
She'd been pretty sick for about half a year[00:00:18]
But it seems liked this time the end was drawing near[00:00:20]
So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train[00:00:23]
I found her laid up and in a lot of pain[00:00:26]
Her eyes met mine and then I understood[00:00:29]
That her weather forecast wasn't looking too good[00:00:31]
So I sat and spun her stories for a little while[00:00:34]
Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile[00:00:37]
But she silenced all my rambling with a shake of her head[00:00:40]
Drew me close and listen this is what she said now[00:00:43]
"You'll live to dance another day [00:00:48]
It's just now you'll have to dance [00:00:53]
For the two of us so stop looking so damn depressed[00:00:56]
And sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead"[00:01:05]
Yeah she told me she was sick of all the hospital food[00:01:09]
And of doctors distant relatives draining her blood[00:01:12]
She said "I know I'm dying [00:01:14]
But I'm not finished just yet [00:01:16]
I am dying for a drink and for a cigarette"[00:01:18]
So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel[00:01:20]
In the centre of the City and to raise some Hell[00:01:23]
They waste to all the clubs[00:01:26]
And then when everyone else is long asleep[00:01:27]
We know we're good and done[00:01:30]
"You'll live to dance another day [00:01:33]
It's just now you'll have to dance [00:01:39]
For the two of us [00:01:42]
So stop looking so damn depressed[00:01:45]
And sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead"[00:01:50]
And South London's not the same anymore[00:01:59]
The Queen is dead [00:02:05]
And the last of the great has finally gone to bed[00:02:11]
Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up[00:02:19]
She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up[00:02:22]
And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done[00:02:26]
I felt bad for not being there and now well she was gone[00:02:29]
So I tried to think what Lex would want me to do[00:02:32]
At times like this when I was feeling blue[00:02:36]
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad news[00:02:40]
And we headed to the City for a drink or two[00:02:44]
And we sang[00:02:48]
"We live to dance another day [00:02:50]
It's just now we have to dance for one more of us [00:02:57]
So stop looking so damn depressed [00:03:04]
And sing with all our hearts long live the Queen"[00:03:12]
