Long Live The Queen (Songbook Version) - Frank Turner (法兰克·透纳)[00:00:00]
Written by:Frank Turner[00:00:01]
I was sipping on a whiskey when I got the call[00:00:12]
Yeah my friend Lex was lying in the hospital[00:00:14]
She'd been pretty sick for about half a year[00:00:17]
But it seemed like this time the end was drawing near[00:00:20]
So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train[00:00:22]
I found her laid up and in a lot of pain[00:00:25]
Her eyes met mine and then I understood[00:00:28]
That her weather forecast wasn't looking too good[00:00:30]
So I sat and spun her stories for a little while[00:00:33]
Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile[00:00:36]
But she silenced all my ramblings with a shake of her head[00:00:38]
Drew me close and listen this is what she said now[00:00:41]
You'll live to dance another day[00:00:45]
It's just now you'll have to dance for the two of us[00:00:50]
So stop looking so damn depressed[00:00:56]
And sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead[00:01:02]
Yeah she told me she was sick of all the hospital food[00:01:06]
And of doctors distant relatives draining her blood[00:01:08]
She said I know I'm dying but I'm not finished just yet[00:01:11]
And I'm dying for a drink and for a cigarette[00:01:13]
So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel[00:01:16]
In the centre of the city and to raise some hell[00:01:19]
Lay waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep[00:01:22]
Then we know we're good and done[00:01:26]
You'll live to dance another day[00:01:29]
It's just now you'll have to dance for the two of us[00:01:34]
So stop looking so damn depressed[00:01:40]
And sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead[00:01:45]
And South London's not the same any more[00:01:53]
The Queen is dead[00:01:59]
And the last of the greats has finally gone to bed[00:02:04]
Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up[00:02:17]
She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up[00:02:21]
And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done[00:02:25]
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[00:02:34]
At times like this when I was feeling blue[00:02:38]
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad news[00:02:43]
And we headed to the city for a drink or two[00:02:47]
And we sang[00:02:52]
We live to dance another day[00:02:55]
It's just now we have to dance for one more of us[00:03:03]
So stop looking so damn depressed[00:03:12]
And sing with all our hearts[00:03:21]
Long live the queen[00:03:25]
