Farewell To The Crown Lyrics - Chumbawamba

Poacher come with his poacher's gun 

Out in the woods to shoot someone 

"My Lord, your time has come" 

Right between the eyes 

Fell his master not by chance 

Away with pomp and circumstance 

Come join our merry dance 

To the rhythm of goodbye 

Farewell, the jewel crown 

Farewell, the velvet gown 

Watch it all come tumbling down 

Goodbye to the crown 

Goodbye to the crown 

Goodbye to the King of Nothing, really 

Wave of a hand, not a life of Riley 

Part Nazi, part King Billy 

Goodbye to the crown 

Goodbye to the dear old mum 

Mummified on gin and rum 

Smile and wave and just play dumb 

Goodbye to the crown 

Farewell, the jewel crown 

Farewell, the velvet gown 

Watch it all come tumbling down 

Goodbye to the crown 

Goodbye to the crown 

Goodbye to the media whore 

And all the pious work for the poor 

And all the faces that she wore 

Goodbye to the crown 

Goodbye to the royal we 

And all its famous pedigree 

Let's put this dog to sleep 

Goodbye to the crown 

Farewell, the jewel crown 

Farewell, the velvet gown 

Watch it all come tumbling down 

Goodbye to the crown 

Goodbye to the crown
