Killer Queen
Queen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake," she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's out to get you
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try
The first verse of Queen's song Killer Queen introduces us to the character that the whole song is about, a seductive and luxurious woman who keeps her expensive Moët et Chandon champagne in her 'pretty cabinet'. The line "Let them eat cake," is a reference to the infamous quote attributed to French Queen Marie Antoinette, who allegedly said that when she was told that the peasants had no bread to eat. The lyrics go on to suggest that this woman is a remedy for politicians Khrushchev and Kennedy, and she is always offering an invitation that you can't decline. The theme here is of a powerful, confident woman who knows her worth and is not afraid to flaunt it.
The chorus of the song is where the 'killer' aspect comes in, as she is compared to gunpowder, gelatine, and a dynamite with a laser beam that is guaranteed to 'blow your mind anytime.' The second verse gives us more information about her. She is well-versed in etiquette and has an insatiable appetite. She moves around frequently to avoid complications and speaks like a baroness. We learn that she is well-traveled and sophisticated, having been to Geisha Minor and met a man from China. The final lines of the verse suggest that she is both playful and fierce.

@shedjr_
I'm here for 2 reasons
1) Queen is one of my favourite bands, and this song is one of their best.
2) My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink.
@dansonfinklesheetz
