[Verse]
I was sipAping on a Whiskey when I got the call
YeahF#m my friend Lex was lying in the hospital
She'd bBmeen pretty sick for about half a year
But it seEems liked this time the end was drawing near
So droApped my plans and jumped the next London train
I fF#mound her laid up and in a lot of pain
Her eBmyes met mine and then I understood
That the weaEther forecast wasn't looE7king too good
So I sAat and spun her stories for a little while
TrF#mied to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile
But she silBmenced all my rambling with a sBmhake of her head
Drew me clEose and listen this is wE7hat she said now
YouA'll live to daF#mnce another day
it's just Bmnow you'll have to daEnce for the tE7wo of us
so sAtop lookingF#m so damn depressed
and sBming with all your heart
that the QuEeen is dead
Yeah she tAold me she was sick of all the hospital food
And of dF#moctors distant relatives draining her blood
She sBmaid I know I'm dying but I'm not finished just yet
I am dyEing for a drink and for a cE7igarette
So we haAtched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel
In the cF#mentre of the City and to raise some Hell
They waBmste to all the clubs and tBmhen when everyone eElse is long asleep
We kE7now we're good and done
YouA'll live to daF#mnce another day
it's just Bmnow you'll have to daEnce for the tE7wo of us
so sAtop lookingF#m so damn depressed
and sBming with all your heart
that the QuEeen is dBmead
EAnd South London's not the sameBm anymore
EThe Queen is deaBmd
Eand the last of the greaBmt has finally gone to bed E
Well I was woArking on some words when Sarah called me up
She said that F#mLex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up
And Bmeven though I knew that there was nothing to be done
I felt bEad for not being there and now well shE7e was gone
So I tAried to think what Lex would want me to do
At tF#mimes like this when I was feeling blue
So I gaBmthered up some friends to spread the sad sad news
And we headed to the CEity for a drE7ink or two
And we sang
AWe live to danceF#m another day
it's just Bmnow we have to dEance E7for one more of us
Aso stop looking soF#m damn depressed
and sBming with all our hearts
lEong live the QuF#een
