Written and Composed by Neil Cousin

Song lyrics for ‘The Queens Head'

Holy Mary destroyer of planets
These dishes in the kitchen make me wish we weren’t married
In your best suit you wait with expectation
They bury you, tap the earth down, a welcome smile from Vishnu

I’d like to buy everyone a drink
But I have three shiny pennies
The Queen’s head, the Queen’s head, the Queen’s head
Not enough, not enough, not enough

The mechanics of sanity are petrified and ossified
They grind with dusty algorithms
They do not run smooth
They twist and jerk, and below them my madness grows
I dream of clockwork men who dance in badly fitted shoes

I’d like to buy everyone a drink
But I have three shiny pennies
The Queen’s head, the Queen’s head, the Queen’s head
Not enough, not enough, not enough

The fields the fields are green
But the system, the system is against you
This feeling on the ceiling grows but we are subterranean
We have nowhere to fall

This time next week we could be in Vegas
Married and divorced and dead and in the undertakers
In your best suit, you wait there at the altar
You cry for me with one eye on the undertaker’s daughter

I’d like to buy everyone a drink
But I have three shiny pennies
The Queen’s head, the Queen’s head, the Queen’s head
Not enough, not enough, not enough

I’d like to buy everyone a drink
But I have three shiny pennies
The Queen’s head, the Queen’s head, the Queen’s head
Not enough, not enough, not enough
