I was sipping on a Whiskey when I got the callYeah my friend Lex was lying in the hospitalShe'd been pretty sick for about half a yearBut it seems liked this time the end was drawing nearSo dropped my plans and jumped the next London trainI found her laid up and in a lot of painHer eyes met mine and then I understoodThat her weather forecast wasn't looking too goodSo I sat and spun her stories for a little whileTried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smileBut she silenced all my rambling with a shake of her headDrew me close and listen this is what she said now"You'll live to dance another day, It's just now you'll 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 foodAnd of doctors, distant relatives, draining her bloodShe said "I know I'm dying,But I'm not finished just yet, Letras de cancionesI am dying for a drink and for a cigarette"So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotelIn the centre of the City and to raise some HellThey waste to all the clubs And then when everyone else is long asleepWe know we're good and done"You'll live to dance another day, It's just now you'll 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 London's not the same anymoreThe Queen is dead, And the last of the great has finally gone to bedWell I was working on some words when Sarah called me upShe said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking upAnd even though I knew that there was nothing to be doneI felt bad for not being there and now, well, she was goneSo I tried to think what Lex would want me to doAt times like this when I was feeling blueSo I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad newsAnd we headed to the City for a drink or twoAnd we sang"We live to dance another day, It's 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"
