Elizabeth My Dear Lyrics

Tear me apart and boil my bones
I'll not rest till she's lost her throne
My aim is true
My message is clear
It's curtains for you
Elizabeth my dear

This is a nice repost to the similarly throw-away little song "Her Majesty" on the Beatles "Abbey Road". That was also about Queen Elizabeth 2 but Ian Brown expresses a very different and much more appropriate sentiment than Paul McCartney did then.

It's not about assassination. It's about Buckingham Palace being redecorated.

The bloke couldn't establish how big the windows were because HRH was sat on her throne in front of the window and he didn't want to say "OI Shift" so he had to stand there all day till she finished doing Queening. Hence the line *I'll not rest till she's lost her throne".

A little known fact is that the old curtains and Bucky Palace weren't the right size and this always Irritated HRH. So she told the decorator to make sure he measured accurately.

He was slightly insulted by this but what can you do? It's the Queen afterall. So he said "Don't you worry. I always measure accurately. My aim is true." Then when they sent the new curtains, he put a note in with them so she knew they were those that he measured. It said "I hope my message is clear. It's curtains for you, Elizabeth my dear"

I know this to be a fact because a bloke down the pub told me.
