Queen
Oscar and the Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweet drops in the bitter
Drop me at a fancy dinner
Go and invite yourself...

Sweet drops of liquor
Call your wife for dinner
Go and invite yourself
Go and invite yourself
Go and invite yourself
Go and find yourself

Sweet drops in the bitter
Drop me at a fancy dinner
Dreaming uptown Malibu
Like he's never been cruel to you
And you never liked the city here
And you never liked my marinade
Stay around and see all the pretty houses

And I remember you'd drive me down the afternoon
And you couldn't find yourself
Oh, silly holiday

Sweet drops in the bitter
But it doesn't feel the same here
Don't you deny it
I'll never look like him

Sweet drops in the bitter
Drop me at a fancy dinner
Go and invite yourself...

Sweet drops of liquor
Call your wife for dinner
Go and invite yourself
Go and invite yourself
Go and invite yourself
Go and find yourself

Sweet drops in the bitter
Drop me at a fancy dinner
Dreaming uptown Malibu
Like he's never been cruel to you
And you never liked the city here
And you never liked my marinade
Stay around and see all the pretty houses

And I remember you'd drive me down the afternoon
And you couldn't find yourself
Oh, silly holiday

Sweet drops in the bitter
But it doesn't feel the same here
Don't you deny it
I'll never look like him

Drive, drive me by the pretty houses




And say all the dark boys are from the sky
But I drink your love like a Queen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Oscar and the Wolf’s song, “Queen,” are complex and open to interpretation. At its core, it speaks about love, loss, and the search for self-identity. The song describes a relationship that has soured, where the singer is left to deal with the pain of a broken heart.


The first verse talks about the singer drowning their sorrows in alcohol, hoping to alleviate the bitterness of the situation. The lines "Sweet drops in the bitter, Drop me at a fancy dinner, Go and invite yourself..." suggests that the singer is trying to distract themselves from the pain by indulging in luxuries, such as going to fancy dinners or taking vacations.

Lyrics:

And I don't know what you're gonna do.
Don't know about me.
One, two, three let's go.
So tell me when you want me too.
So get around me.

So run for the gold.
Run for the money.
Run for the infinity.
We'll never return and be free.
'Bout every time I come around there's too many little things they know about us.
No, I can't play.

And I dont want to be your friend babe,
There's no other way
I'm the one so baby don't pretend
And I don't want to make it bad so
There's no other way
I don't want you to make me mad.

Got my boys in the water.
Got my girls bending over, tight.
Got my boys in the water. Got my boys in the water.
Got my boys in the water.
Got my girls bending over, tight.
Got my boys in the water. Got my boys in the water.

Then we fall in the replay.
For the night calling.
Where princes rule the world.
The party ain't jumpin'.
But we should get lost before you.

So run for the gold.
Run for the money.
Run for the infinity.
We'll never return and be free.
'Bout every time I come around there's too many little things they know about us.
No, I can't play.

And I dont want to be your friend babe,
There's no other way
I'm the one so baby don't pretend
And I don't want to make it bad so
There's no other way
I don't want you to make me mad.

Got my boys in the water

Got my boys in the water
Got my girls bending over. Tight
Got my boys in the water
Got my boys in the water

Got my boys in the water

Got my boys in the water
Got my girls bending over. Tight
Got my boys in the water
Got my boys in the water

And I don't wanna be your friend, babe
There's no other way
I'm the one so baby don't pretend
And I don't wanna make it bad so
There's no other way
I don't want you to make me mad

When you think that your music soul is fed up by any kind of pop music, and nothing can`t amaze you because all the best have sung...suddenly you find it...and it`s brilliant.
