Six Queens

Screams confusion.

Im guessing this 1's about a boy who wants to be a girl???

'I'm the sixth queen I'm the wrong queen I've got mascara running through my bloodstream I'm on the hot step I've got a broken heart I want to be a cherry lipped little cheap tart'

I can relate to this.

strangeways a smiths reference by any chance?

i thought it was called "six queens"?

I think it's about a prostitute or something along that line. Very confusing.

"I learnt the history, and read about the six queens." I keep getting this feeling its about the six wives Herny VIII had. It would make sense. Its about a transexual, too.

I think both verses about two different people.

I think the first is quite obviously about a young, awkward, homosexual boy who grows up and moves to New York and becomes a prostitute, in a nutshell.

The second gives me the impression of a middle aged man working in a corporate office who has always secretly yearned to be a woman. After much research on the whole deal he finally made the jump, so to say.

While both characters are happy, in a sense, they're also quite tragic.

There is this boy who struggles to show his real identity to the world. He feels like a little girl is screaming inside his body.

He is trapped inside the conservative beliefs of his family. So, he followed his heart and he decided to travel away from his home to New York where he can come out of his closet as a girl. He kept his life quite secretly that is why it was said in the song that he was a 'coward man who works in an office block.' He broke the society that he is in by following his responsibility to himself to be gay.

not necessarily a smiths reference when it says about strangeways, strangeways is a prison in manchester.
