For The Commonwealth And The Queen Lyrics - Singles - Eleventh He Reaches London

Bile stains, on my pillow by my head and there's vomit from my pen 

Laid 

Out 

on my bed 

Paralyzed dreaming of death 

Oh the summer how we cantered proud 

of each other, proud of the summer 

Hair 

Drape down like capes 

Tangled in 

knots, covered in sand 

Ohhh tangled we get, through tangents of 

death 

Spiraling colours through black holes of culture 

I wait... 

For ribs 

to part, reach in and pull out beating organs 

And throw the mess to the 

curious blank of the 

Two of us whom started, til two of us got square 

We sat 

and shook like homeless 

And reluctantly dissolved 

Into the social vacuum 

lesser when we left deprived 

And lay vacantly 

The two of us got started, 

then the two of us got square 

and rid the woe between us 

by fucking hard and 

drinking equally 

For ribs to part, reach in and pull out beating organs 

And 

throw the mess to the curious blank of the 

Two of us whom started, til two of 

us got square 

We sat and shook like homeless 

Then Stood and reluctantly 

dissolved 

To the vestige of our state 

That observes like flightless 

owls 

While the men drink and note their words to Commonwealth and the 

Queen 

We rely in our mother and our sister that are there to keep our 

heads 

While the men fight like lions, for the Commonwealth and the Queen 

I 

know no men who are lions 

Boasting or showing symptoms of life 

Live for 

themselves but not die for the Queen 

Men are not lions 

Blessed nor 

confident and living for blood 

Proud of the summer and kissed by the 

sword 

That killed off our common sense 

The owls and lions are proof 

And 

how I drank, vomited common sense 

Oh destoroyer, I've grown up too 

fast 

And how I hung breaking my vertebrae 

Held in my fists were the letter 

to owls 

In Soho, In Soho, In Soho 

see how I hung? 

I drank myself to 

choice 

For the Commonwealth and the Queen 

In Soho, In Soho, In Soho 

see 

how I hung 

I gave up on love 

For the Commonwealth and the Queen 

In Soho, 

In Soho, In Soho 

see how I hung? 

I drank myself to choice 

For the 

Commonwealth and the Queen 

In Soho, In Soho, In Soho 

see how I hung? 

I'd 

light up on stage 

For the Commonwealth and the Queen 

My mother lost her 

way 

And my sister turned away 

The system got the best of us 

and that 

Oh destoroyer, I've grown up too 

fast 

And how I hung breaking my vertebrae 

Held in my fists were the letter 

to owls 

In Soho, In Soho, In Soho 

see how I hung? 

I drank myself to 

choice 

For the Commonwealth and the Queen 

In Soho, In Soho, In Soho 

see 

how I hung 

I gave up on love 

For the Commonwealth and the Queen 

In Soho, 

In Soho, In Soho 

see how I hung? 

I drank myself to choice 

For the 

Commonwealth and the Queen 

In Soho, In Soho, In Soho 

see how I hung? 

I'd 

light up on stage 

For the Commonwealth and the Queen 

My mother lost her 

way 

And my sister turned away 

The system got the best of us 

and that 

system tore the rhythm from our hearts.
