Long Live The Queen (songbook Version) Lyrics - Frank Turner

I was sipping on a Whiskey when I got the call 

My friend Lex was lying in the hospital 

She'd been pretty sick for about half a year 

But it seems like this time the end was drawing near 

So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train 

I found her laid up and in a lot of pain 

Her eyes met mine and then I understood 

That her weather forecast wasn't looking too good 

So I sat and spun her stories for a little while 

Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile 

But she silenced all my rambling with a shake of her head 

Drew 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

She told me she was sick of all the hospital food 

And of doctors, distant relatives, draining her blood 

She said I know I'm dying, but I'm not finished just yet 

I'm dying for a drink and for a cigarette 

So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel 

In the centre of the City and to raise some Hell 

Lay waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep 

We 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 anymore 

The Queen is dead 

And the last of the greats has finally gone to bed

Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up 

She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up 

And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done 

I felt bad for not being there and now, well, she was gone 

So I tried to think what Lex would want me to do 

At times like this when I was feeling blue 

So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad, sad news 

And we headed to the City for a drink or two 

And 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
