Killer
Pete Tong The Heritage Orchestra & Jules Buckley - @Discos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'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 in 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 Minor
(Killer, killer, she's a killer Queen)
But 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)

@antonio.mineiro
@@krystfaa thanks Captain.
@mooseylad
The joy on the faces of the orchestra knowing they have created something very special is something to behold.
@antonio.mineiro
My thoughts exactly!
@harrybassett9433
Is there any better sight that seeing a classically trained orchestra playing dance classics and enjoying themselves
@Thekalllllllll
I mean if the people singing put in half the effort of the orchestra, that might be cool
@leemcfarlane6796
Totally agree. Magnificent
@victorngigi6074
i mean, there's seeing it live
