ABOUT THIS TRACK

We recorded the drums with big thanks to Pete at Rawsun records near Invergordon, Scottish Highlands over a period of 2 years! A huge amount of this time was filled with complete inactivity while we were stripped of some of our freedoms from March 2020.

Just like to point out all instruments are recorded in one take. Yes there's over dubbing but we played all instruments live so to speak.. and any quirkiness was left in to be as authentic as we possibly could. In other words no digi-manipulation in Reaper. Just a pedal for the guitars and a wee bitty reverb for the voice.

LYRICS

What's the healthiest way to be
Having nothing and yet happy
Materialism only brings us down
She just looks foolish wearing a crown

I see some good in her
I think she means well

I Wouldn't Hang The Queen
I'd just tell her she's the heart of obscene
I'd try to make her see we're all equal
With only room for Ubuntu in this world
I Wouldn't Hang the Queen
Hang the Queen
I Wouldn't Hang the Queen
Hang the Queen

Was she so blind she couldn't see
Some of here dear pals were 'pedoey'
Are there any more I must ask myself
She's protecting with her wealth

Is there any good in her?
It's getting hard to tell

I Wouldn't Hang The Queen
I'd just tell her she's the heart of obscene
I'd try to make her see we're all equal
With only room for ubuntu in this world
I Wouldn't Hang the Queen, uh
Hang the Queen
I Wouldn't Hang the Queen
Hang the Queen

Her armies have totally made a mess
Of countries she's no right to oppress
She had the power to stop the war
"But it's alright we're just killing the poor"

There ain't no good in her
She's going straight to hell

[solo]

I Wouldn't Hang The Queen
Hang the Queen
I Wouldn't Hang the Queen, oh
Hang the Queen
Hang the Queen
Hang the
Hang the Queenah
Hang the Queenah
Hang the Queenah
Hang the Queenah
Hang the Queenah
Hang the Queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenah
