Queen

Tonic

Head strong and steadfast junkies
All barter for the clean
They all wait in their plastic lines
To find what color means

Cause they all want to be queen
And you do know what I mean
Cause they all want to be queen
And you do know what I mean

I spoke to a girl by the backdoor
She said she'd do anything just to meet you
You know I've seen that smile before
Just in time for a knee to hit the ground
Little girls
Dressed up like french whores
In velvet paintings
Wide eyed
Long nails
They all want to live the fairy tale

Cause they all want to be queen
And you do know what I mean
Cause they all want to be queen
And you do know what I mean

Did they tear you all up inside
Did they take away all your pride
And she cried herself to sleep that night

Cause they all want to be queen
And you do know what I mean
Cause they all want to be queen
And you do
And you do
And you do know what I mean
Queen want to be queen
Queen want to be queen
Queen want to be queen
Queen want to be queen

    agree with mrpants. it seems to be about the girlie groupie fantasy of getting together with a hot young star and being the princess. perhaps the 1st verse compares this kind of transcendence to the transcendence of a drug trip.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
