I was sipping on a Whiskey when I got the call |
| [00:15.380] |
Yeah, my friend Lex was lying in the hospital |
| [00:18.000] |
She'd been pretty sick for about half a year |
| [00:20.620] |
But it seems liked this time the end was drawing near |
| [00:23.370] |
So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train |
| [00:26.170] |
I found her laid up and in a lot of pain |
| [00:28.920] |
Her eyes met mine and then I understood |
| [00:31.600] |
That her weather forecast wasn't looking too good |
| [00:34.410] |
So I sat and spun her stories for a little while |
| [00:37.470] |
Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile |
| [00:40.210] |
But she silenced all my rambling with a shake of her head |
| [00:42.960] |
Drew me close and listen, this is what she said now: |
| [00:47.920] |
"You'll live to dance another day" |
| [00:53.470] |
"It's just now you'll have to dance" |
| [00:56.460] |
"For the two of us so stop looking so damn depressed" |
| [01:04.760] |
"And sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead" |
| [01:09.100] |
Yeah, she told me she was sick of all the hospital food |
| [01:12.090] |
And of doctors distant relatives draining her blood |
| [01:14.590] |
She said "I know I'm dying" |
| [01:16.270] |
"But I'm not finished just yet" |
| [01:17.710] |
"I am dying for a drink and for a cigarette" |
| [01:20.210] |
So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel |
| [01:22.900] |
In the centre of the City and to raise some Hell |
| [01:25.710] |
Lay waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep |
| [01:29.740] |
Then we know we're good and done |
| [01:33.590] |
"You'll live to dance another day |
| [01:38.960] |
It's just now you'll have to dance |
| [01:41.950] |
For the two of us |
| [01:44.820] |
So stop looking so damn depressed |
| [01:50.300] |
And sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead" |
| [01:59.350] |
And South London's not the same anymore |
| [02:05.060] |
The Queen is dead |
| [02:10.860] |
And the last of the great has finally gone to bed |
| [02:18.930] |
Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up |
| [02:22.190] |
She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up |
| [02:25.900] |
And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done |
| [02:28.840] |
I felt bad for not being there and now, well she was gone |
| [02:32.330] |
So I tried to think what Lex would want me to do |
| [02:36.140] |
At times like this when I was feeling blue |
| [02:39.820] |
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad news |
| [02:43.750] |
And we headed to the City for a drink or two |
| [02:47.740] |
And we sang |
| [02:50.300] |
"We live to dance another day" |
| [02:57.110] |
"It's just now we have to dance for one more of us" |
| [03:04.660] |
"So stop looking so damn depressed" |
| [03:11.890] |
"And sing with all our hearts |
| [03:15.560] |
"LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!" |
