Divine Comedy, The - Queuejumper Lyrics
I jump the queue, I jump the queue
I jump the queue 'cause I'm smarter than you
I jump the queue, I jump the queue
I jump the queue 'cause I'm better than you, yeah
I jump the queue 'cause I'm smarter than you
I jump the queue, I jump the queue
I jump the queue 'cause I'm better than you
Red lights
Red lights are all I see
Red lights
Red lights don't apply to me
Red lights
Red lights are just for you
You stop if you want to
I jump the queue, I jump the queue
I jump the queue 'cause I'm smarter than you
I jump the queue, I jump the queue
I jump the queue 'cause I'm better than you
I'm better than you, I'm better than you
I don't have to play by the usual rules
I take what I want 'cause it's there to be taken
And you're just jealous of the money I'm making
Red lights
Red lights are all I see
Red lights
Red lights don't apply to me
Red lights
Red lights are just for you
Red lights
You stop if you want to
I'm gonna cruise on through
Yeah, hey
I jump the queue, I jump the queue
I jump the queue 'cause I'm smarter than you
I jump the queue, I jump the queue
I jump the queue 'cause I'm better than you
I'm better than you, I'm better than you
I don't have to play by the usual rules
I take what I want 'cause it's there to be taken
And you're just jealous of the money I'm making
Red lights
Red lights are all I see
Red lights
Red lights don't apply to me
Red lights
Red lights are just for you
Red lights
You stop because you want to

Divine Comedy, The Queuejumper Comments
so good. love Neil
Love your music
Channeling his inner Adam and the Ants with that percussive intro..
Just got back from a concert last night from the divine comedy, it was great and to make it even better, halfway through they started to wear party hats and I got to have one of them afterwards.
I love you Neil.
This music video gives me a lot of Collins-Era Genesis, Jarvis Cocker, and Talking Heads vibes, and I love it for that.
no fun allowed dot gif.
Wait, this song is from THIS YEAR? Why does the video look like it was filmed 30 years ago??
One of my faves from Office Politics, and such fun video to go along!!!
This has saved my sanity . I got on the bus (last) with a smile 😃
No instrument says "queue-jumping a-hole" like the marimba!
The strings break is simply devine - “I’m gonna cruise on through” - pure fun music mutates into sheer bliss
Thank god proper music defo in the tone of talking heads no bad thing !!!
The second david byrne !!
Felt like ost from a Donkey Kong Country movie if they ever make one :D
I'd say this is about Trumpa (misspelled on purpose for a Portuguese pun) and his lackies but they don't know what a queue is 🙄
(making a wish: Universe please have someone lining up all his verbal diarrhoea with this song for an awesome clip)
Amazing song. Amazing video. Amazing!
God I love a bit of Devine comedy! Cracking song.
https://youtu.be/IHD_mPVYVq8
No, I am better than you, because my M400 looks better than yours! :-D Just kidding, love your music! Thanks for the good vibes!
He looks like Jurgen Klopp.
So, William Dafoe joined The Divine Comedy...
One of the best song writers around.

They should have put some good looking actors in the video to lip sync
pretty depressing. what was the budget for this video? 4 quid?
A real return to form. Excellent single from Divine Comedy. A real foot tapper.
the right song in times like these
Lovecats...
Neil un génie !!!!!
сукатища
If Bill Nye and Jurgen Klopp had a child
.....no, NOT Nye - MORE like a nattier Alan Ruck.....
I just walked into my kitchen to find my 5 year old daughter playing this on my tablet whilst jumping over a cucumber 😂
No you didn't.
Kind of a Haircut 100 feel
Will shake my pretty little ass thinking of this new great Neil song while waiting in the queue...
When I hear this song of Mark Knopfler , "One more matinee", I always think that it would sound marvelous performed by Neil Hannon.
This funny sound like a cat is genial. ☺ And the beat sounds similar to 'It Ain't What You do' by "Fun Boy Three". )) But I like Neil's references to other groups and singers and a mixture of different music styles.
Este hombre está guapo hasta de de nerd.
Großartig! lässt jeden Muskel zucken und macht Vorfreude aufs neue Album!
this is genuinely one of the funniest music videos ive ever seen i love it and i already loved the song beforehand
THE DEVINE MERCY MORE LIKE
Probably the worst song he has ever done. Shat out in a couple of minutes. Absolutely awful. His albums are getting steadily worse and i don't have much hope for the next one.
Liking the vibe of this song - reminds me a little of Doug And The Slugs which is no bad thing
absolute class!
The greatest songwriter of the last 25 years releases the worst song of his career. By some margin.
It sounds like something from a toddler's TV programme. The sort of song they play when teaching kids how to cross the road or how to be nice to their fellow toddlers.
How can Neil Hannon think this has any artistic merit whatsoever? Why does he repeatedly release such dreadful lead singles? Is he trying to repeat the 'National Express' chart trick?
It's extraordinary that this is the same person who wrote and recorded the sublime 'To the Rescue'.
The general public think this -and 'National Express', ' Indie Disco' etc is what Hannon's music sounds like. He needs a Lennon to tell him "No! You're not releasing 'Teddy Boy' as a single! It's utter sh*t!"
I totally agree to that! I LOVE Neil Hannon and The Divine Comedy, but this new Song ist boring :(
I feel the same way as I enjoy Hannon's more thoughtful work far more than the silly songs. The first I heard of him was actually National Express (but in my defence I was only 14 at the time...!) but it prompted me to find out more, and I soon came to love the albums.
I've found less that meets my tastes on each consecutive album, I think, in particular Foreverland and Bang Goes the Knighthood. With those two I've only found 1 or 2 tracks that I love, 2 or 3 I don't mind, and the rest I skip over - these include all the singles (and yes, I'm old fashioned and still by CDs - not modern enough for digital music or cool enough to revert to vinyl!!).
That said, I'm excited that a new album is on the way, and will buy it in the hopes of eating my words...!!!
I used to have same problem but now I just accept both.
Or...he needs to do what the hell he likes, creatively, and ignore people criticising things of his they personally don't like, just because they've forgotten (or fallaciously reject) the essential verity of 𝘥𝘦 𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘮 𝘦𝘴𝘵. I think it's great: very amusing, a cleverly-structured, jaunty little tune nicely juxtaposing the acidity of the lyrics. Am I wrong? You may say so, but I'd ask what, precisely, is your warrant for doing so...?
Neil Hannon is smarter and better than you. Red lights don't apply to him. Get over it snowflakes 😂😂😂
a week has passed and I´m the first one to see the video cause you know I kinda jumped the cucumber
Singularly pointless fluff. Hard to credit this man once wrote 'Tonight We Fly'. Chris Evans killed him.
sorry you're not having fun like the rest of us
The Divine Comedy are a "Once in a lifetime" Queuejumper.
Delicious
Always a pleasure.
The divine comedy should be more famous
No, better let us keep them for ourselves. ;)
@argotm ✔
What a fun song 🤡🤡🤡🤡Neil your looking French these days , long way from Norn ireland ☘️☘️
Paul Simon vibe. Great song!
Ron and Russell Mael would be proud heheh :-)
Just thinking about that when I read your comment !
So I see some Q symbolism here
Once in a lifetime talking heads
I've loved DC since 1996, but I do wish Neil would shave, I really hate this trend for beards. Thumbs up for the Clean Shaven! 👍
I love this! Makes me do a merry jig! :D
I like the Madness-ish tone !
Jezis i was listenin to this and realized I was smilin like a dope! Makin music like that was a lost art. But Neil never fails to innovate. Dopey smile music is good
Neil channelling his Juergen Klopp there.
Sounds like the wriggles
Love the orchestral bit!
I wish i jumped the queue to seeing this first, amazing song ..love it!
National Treasure. Last of his kind...
lol 480 in 2019 - thats commitment.
Appreciating the early 80s music video aesthetic.
Lovin it! Looking forward to the new album!
When is out?
As usual, the lyrics are bang on. Neil Hannon is a genius.
I think I can hear that there's a lost cat stuck in your recording studio, he may be trapped behind the soundproofing egg boxes on the wall?
Great track. A really good pick-me-upper.
Enfin !! Un retour magistral ! Bravo ! <3
1:17 That guy looks awfully like Willem Defoe.
This has been in my head since it came out, so catchy :)
Also with this look he reminds me so much of Stanley Tucci but with hair. Very cool
Sweet Tele Custom Tosh!
Ooheer he's gone for a ''cool'' haircut.
Suits him!
Kloppesque -beautiful yeeeaaaaahhhhh!
Funny quirky happy. Makes me smile. ☺️😊😘. Lovely song. Especially when the strings come in ☀️
I jumped the cue...cumber 😂
The local cafe, I have made an adversary recently. There's a very rude man that always jumps the queue in a very weasley way. This songs timing couldn't be more perfect <3
Can't believe it took me 3 views to work out the jumping the cucumber (CU) bit :-)
Perfect to combat the sad fact that Notre dame is burning down
Bonjour, on aime beaucoup et on est preneur du fichier wav pour diffusion sur WFM le fil musical du web...😉😉 🎧 http://w-feel-muse.fr 🎧
Brilliant! But, I wonder how PM May likes it? -chuckling- When I first heard it, I was reminded of Adrian Belew’s “Young Lions”. Same sort of AfroCentric percussion and chanting. Only this is much more poppy. And perfect timing, what with Brexit on hold. Again.
Fun Boy Six Perhaps ? Top tune.. I know Neil sometimes gets grief when he does these kind of jaunty/jolly songs I guess.But these things don't just grow on trees you know like apples & bananas..Long may he continue producing gems such as this imo.Looking forward to the album all the more.
Sat here with a stupid grin on my face.
Lovely to see and hear that Neil comes up with new ideas, but at the same time stays true to his inimitable DC style 👍👍👍
Love love love 😍
Excellent Lightbulb Opportunism.
Always love you...The Divine Comedy. Love from Hong Kong❤️❤️❤️
Always have been and always will be awesome. All hail Hannon ❤️
I had to admit I like, I like, I like.
Still haven't lost their touch. Love it !
finally <3 <3
will always love their quirky sense for melody ! <3
Brilliant. I'll be humming this tune all day now
sound fresh !
I'd love reaction gifs of almost every scene in this video
