LYRICS

Phone on the sofa, 
oh you're taking in nothing,
vaguely listening to the scene.
I would kinda love it if you'd give me something, 
something to work with, 
something to grow.
I would kinda like it if you showed some feeling,
or if there's nothing you would let us know. 

We're heading out to see the queen.
We're here to see what's going wrong.
We're all relaxed and so serene.
We're heading out to see the queen. 

The beer bottles pile up by your feet, 
your grieving; isn't aimed above but rather just below.
Any excuse to feel collective meaning, 
just laying back to enjoy the show. 

We're heading out to see the queen.
We're oh so worried what's gone wrong.
We're all relaxed and so serene.
We're heading out to see the queen. 

We're heading out to see the queen.
We're here to see what's going wrong.
We're all relaxed and so serene.
We're heading out to see the queen. 

Your eyes barely flicker as you light up your cigarette,
take a drag and survey the scene.
I was kinda hoping that you'd be my princess.
kinda hoping that you'd be my queen.

The Queen [with The Fall of Saigon]

A collaboration with Reedy - quite a different style from the norm - for us and him! Had a blast working on this one. Check out Reedy's other work here: https://soundcloud.com/user-716607695

LYRICS:

Running on fumes from the empty promises
You leave a trail of wounded from your bullshit policies
We're all subject to a strip-search warrant, identity probe
we got our blood type, colour, indemnity sold
into a government profile in a public upload to the cloud
We're gonna take it down
We're gonna take it down

Super sized French fries
Two-for-one mind control,
You're on a leash
Fear drenched gummy bears
offer up conspiracy and disbelief

Call in the team for a good-old dressing down
Blowing off steam with the peasants in the town
We're all meeting for a witch hunt shaming
and a throwing of stones
Behind the lynch mob clamour you'll be rolling the bones
You picked a hitchhike lover who can pay off your loans with her blood
We're gonna take it down
No, ain't gonna take it now
