mariahkayla1: I think I'm right in saying it's about friends that were lost to AIDS - The Queen / Diana etc are pet names for some of their gay friends
@nasa72 Inspired in part by Brian Masters' 1972 book Dreams About HM the Queen and other Members of the Royal Family, this song has been described by Neil as his variation on what is apparently a fairly common English anxiety dream: meeting the Queen under less than ideal circumstances, such as wearing nothing but your underwear. In this case, he's naked. see ***.geowayne.com, the best PSB site on the internet, for more.
@DaveUndertaker Thanks mate..really appreciate it. I would never have listened to PSB if it wasn't for my lecturer driving me home and she playing it each time I was in the car. @ first I thought how strange this music is, but after 20 years, I'm still listening and loving it.
I think this just might be the best song they ever wrote...so many levels of pathos, humor, drama, surrealism, history, even nudity! This song has it all.
I had to laugh at the lines "For I was in the nude, The Old Queen disapproved." I think the British love their Queen but aren't above poking fun at her.
LOVING!!AND LONDON IS FULL OF CONTRADICTIONS LIKE EVERY OTHER COSMOPOLITAN CITY IN THE WORLD BUT AT LEAST IT'S A GAY-FRIENLY CITY AND TO EVERY OTHER ''MINORITY''(pfff,i hate this word)FRIENDLY!THANK YOU FOR THE TRIP...PERFECT TRACK CHOICE...PET SHOP BOYS+THE QUEEN=LONDON AND ITS CONTROVERSIES...
yes, yes and yes, Pet Shop Boys and Queen are the best we have left the history of music, what i said a boy that takes 14 years listening to since he was born, so I like both.
si, si y si, Pet Shop Boys y Queen son lo mejor que han dejado la historia de la musica, i lo dice un niño de 14 años que los lleva escuchando desde que naci, por eso me gustan tanto.
Beautiful! (both the photos and the song)
