Don't you know your queen
Whipped
Heaving
Flower bloom at my feet
Don't you know your queen
Cracked
Peelin'
Riddled with disease
Don't you know me
No family is safe
When I sashay
Don't you know your queen
Gleaming
Wrapped in golden leaf
Don't you know me
Rank
Ragged
Skin sewn on sheets
Casing the barracks
For an ass to break and harness
Into the fold
Marry
No family is safe
When I sashay
Whipped
Heaving
Flower bloom at my feet
Don't you know your queen
Cracked
Peelin'
Riddled with disease
Don't you know me
No family is safe
When I sashay
Don't you know your queen
Gleaming
Wrapped in golden leaf
Don't you know me
Rank
Ragged
Skin sewn on sheets
Casing the barracks
For an ass to break and harness
Into the fold
Marry
No family is safe
When I sashay

He didn't come across as trying to be satirical to me.

There's something about this that sounds familiar to me, and I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've heard this.

A fucking glorious song! Thank you for this.

The song was originally written and performed by Hannah Peel and was much better in my opinion

would argue that the lyrics are well suited to a non-female vocalist but will check out the cover

She covered this version. It’s originally by Perfume Genius. I just listened to her version and his is still way better!

Caught my eye. Then learned it was Queen. Never would have guessed. Not a real Queen fan, but this stands out.
