Killer Queen
Louis Clark 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 Kruschev 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, gelatin
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Ooh, 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
(Killer, killer, she's a killer Queen)
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, gelatin
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 all out to get you
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatin
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try ?
You wanna try
Louis Clark's song "Killer Queen" is a tribute to a confident, fearless, and charismatic woman. The song paints a picture of a woman who is extremely wealthy and powerful, as evidenced by her ability to keep her Moet et Chandon champagne in a "pretty cabinet" and her reference to Marie Antoinette's infamous declaration of "let them eat cake." The song also highlights the woman's insatiable appetite and love for luxury, with mentions of caviar, perfume from Paris, and her disdain for cars.
The lyrics further cement her status as a "Killer Queen" with references to gunpowder, gelatin, and a laser beam. She is portrayed as a woman who is not only stunningly beautiful but also has a killer instinct and is willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Despite her intimidating qualities, she is still playful and enticing, and the lyrics tease the listener with the question, "Wanna try?"
