There's no more gin at the Palace
They've stopped the afternoon tea
Have you any money?
We're collecting for the aristocracy
There's a crack in the door of the Manor
Take a look for a minute or two
Can you gloss it over?
In a sympathetic shade of royal blue
The Duchess watches as the universe around her
Doesn't sound like it did
When Her Majesty was a kid
There's a hole in the roof of the Castle
It's raining on the parade
Have you got a bucket?
Cos I'm shaking all I've got to make you pay
The Duchess watches as the universe around her
Doesn't sound like it did
When Her Majesty was a kid
Hey there, lovely lady, can you hear me?
I call your name
It's okay to feel so ordinary
We're all the same
The bailiffs move on the Palace
To claim the furniture back
Have you any questions?
Why'd you ask?
Anonymous civil servants, not as quiet as they used to be
Vultures eat the ravens, when they're having the sale of the century
The Duchess watches as the universe around her
Doesn't sound like it did
When Her Majesty was a kid
Hey there, lovely lady, can you hear me?
I call your name
It's okay to feel so ordinary
We're all the same
One day, you'll think of parlour games you used to play
One day is never far away
