Pet Shop Boys - Dreaming Of The Queen Lyrics






Dreaming of the Queen
Visiting for tea
You and her and I
And Lady Di

The Queen said: "I'm aghast
Love never seems to last
However hard you try"
And Di replied

That there are no more lovers left alive
No one has survived
So there are no more lovers left alive
And that's why love has died
Yes, it's true
Look, it's happened to me and you

Then carriages arrived
We stood and said goodbye
Diana dried her eyes
And looked surprised

For I was in the nude
The old Queen disapproved
But people laughed and asked
For autographs

And there were no more lovers left alive
No one had survived
So there were no more lovers left alive
And that's why love had died
Yes, it's true
Look, it's happened to me and you

I woke up in a sweat
Desolate

For there were no more lovers left alive
No one had survived
So there were no more lovers left alive
And that's why love had died
Yes, it's true
Look, it's happened to me and you

    Things this song is not really about: Lady Diana. The Queen of England.

    Things this song is about: The death of whole swathes of the gay population from 80s.

  27. C.... S....

    Last night i was actually dreaming of the queen. I was her maid and she had the absolute best of everything. I woke up n had to hear this song. I thpught it was called no more lovers left alive tho... wierd. Very was the very first album i ever bought. In grade 4! Lol i had no idea either psb nor i was gay bahaha...

  28. L.... T....

    Que música! ❤

    L.... T....

    Linda música como muitas deles 💙

  29. F.... C....

    I can see some of you are Royalists, or at least anti-establishment, but having enjoyed PSB for years you can't take the lyrics to literally - there is bucket loads to be read into this song. For some of you of the homosexualist bent , the Queen has a totally different angle. That might have burst a bubble for some, but it adds the depth this gem of a song deserves.

    F.... C....

    This is exactly what I thought,the video has nothing to do with the real meaning of the song,anyway its nice.

  30. A.... ....

    I miss old, serious Psb

    A.... ....

    no your not lol

  31. E.... M....

    When the singer sings 'And I was in the nude. The old queen disapproved,' was he talking about Queen Elizabeth II or the Queen Mother?

    E.... M....

    +Emilia M. Emilia, he is talking about when the Paparazzi photographed Diana on a beach without her top.  The Queen has a fit over it. LOL

    E.... M....

    +Wes Crane Did either Queen object?

    E.... M....

    +Wes Crane Sorry, are you sure it was Princess Diana who was photographed topless or Sara Ferguson (ex-wife of Prince Andrew)?

    E.... M....

    He was talking about the conflict between the old paragons of the gay community who were more critical of the sexual mores of the 70s and the gay men of the 70s who were more sexually active and who died en masse during the AIDs epidemic.

    E.... M....

    D R is the one who is right, many miss the real meaning of this - the song technically combines events from both 1981 and 1992 together while using multiple layers, the Royal Family was never actually the main reference.
    "Old Queen" does indeed refer to the older generation that believed the younger generation were reckless in the face of AIDS, the virus being one of the main meanings behind the song.

  32. J.... C....

    Sarah is Jagger hehehe!!!

  33. K.... F....

    This song deserved an official video...

    K.... F....

    Kolos Farkhasiu y

  34. A.... C....

    One of their best songs! Great lyrics and melody, PSB in their heyday!
    And a great video! Thx.

  35. R.... H....

    Has it occurred to anyone that the PSB wrote this song BEFORE Diana died so tragically. When you listen to the words it is almost prophetic. Gives a person chills.

    R.... H....

    I got this album only a month before the princesses death. I felt such an eerie feeling when I played this song, and then the tragedy occurred. I think PSB do a WONDERFUL TRIBUTE in their concerts with the song also.

    R.... H....

    There is another prophetic song. Its called king cross. After the song a terrible tradegy occur in the king cross station

    R.... H....

    Actually, the song is about the people in the gay community dying of AIDS at the time. A cause that Diana worked to bring awareness, but Queen Elizabeth ignored.

    R.... H....

    Listen to Kings Cross by PSB's....... again ahead of its time

    R.... H....

    @BookFreakyTube Yes, I've always felt this song was about AIDS. I didn't know Diana's & QE's stance on it, though.

    Уважаю группу за патриотизм .Принцесу  завалили профессиональный водитель, и так разворотить 140 мерен?

  37. e.... m....

    видео  клип  снят не о том что поют Pet Shop Boys

    e.... m....

    @elena makarkina это вырезки из концертного тура,а не клип

    e.... m....

    Да Вы ЧТО

  38. R.... G....

    Y a los q nos gustaba esta musica nos llamaban raros ellos sique eran raros y jodidamente malos y maltratadores

  39. M.... H....

    Still one of my favourite tracks of all time....so soft and poignant.

    M.... H....

    Такая же фигня, хотя в начале не зашёл.

    M.... H....

    Soft and classy..
