Queen
Suman Biswas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Scince the royal coronation back in 1953, there's speculation who the next king is gonna be.
Elizibeth, her majesty has ruleed very steadily, but readily might it be time for her to retire.
People say william is obvious, it feels like he's one of us, but its not his turn.
The next in succession ought to be king Charles the third, but I confess he doesnt realy suit the media.
The man is nearly 70, and though he's waited patiently through the 70's and 80's and the 90's and so on.
He'll have ubiquitous photography, imagine who you'd rather see, if Charles is King, that makes Camilla Queen.
A horse face I dont wanna see everyone on my TV, Its guaranteed to turn you off.
We'd rather see Kate Middleton, fully dressed or with nothing on.




Overall Meaning

Suman Biswas, in his song "Queen", talks about the speculation on who the next king of England will be, following Queen Elizabeth II's reign. While people believe that Prince William is the obvious choice, it is not yet his turn. The next in succession is Prince Charles, but he is not media-friendly and does not quite suit the expectations of the public.


Biswas points out that Prince Charles is almost seventy years old and despite waiting patiently through the years, he might not make for great broadcast journalism. The singer feels that the audience would rather see someone else as the Queen, instead of Camilla Parker Bowles, who he calls horse-faced. He believes that Kate Middleton, being fully dressed, or even with nothing on, would be a more appealing presence on television.


Through his lyrics, Suman Biswas satirizes the British monarchy, their succession rules, and their relationships, while also bringing to attention the public's expectations from the media. The song speaks about the British public's fascination and obsession with the royal family while tapping into their desire for more engaging and alluring television broadcasts.
