The JAMS / The KLF Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You better
Get the fuck out of my dreams
You are a psycho queen
You better
Get the fuck out of my dreams
But you went a ruined it
You must be some sort of psycho
I was trying to be nice
Now I'm checking the time to see when I can leave
Try smiling
No one will notice
You dying inside
As days go on you think about it night after night
But its time to let go
Because I am the psycho
Iv got to stop speaking my mind
It's getting me into shit
I need to unwind
I wish I had money
Who could have seen what was coming
Your always acting so vein
Who knew that life could be
So strange at times
Who cares who's right at times
The only thing to do
Is put up a fight
And my head talks
And my feet just walk
You are a psycho queen
You better
Get the fuck out of my dreams
You are a psycho queen
You better
Get the fuck out of my dreams
Ooh ooh I know
Its time to let go
Ooh ooh I know
Its time to let go
So desperate you could have guessed it
So insane you've got nothing to gain
Short fuse you've got nothing to loose
Such a psycho but you might be right though
So basic how do you fake it
So crazy why does it faze me
Such a mess I couldn't care less
Such a psycho enjoying the ride though
Iv got to stop speaking my mind
It's getting me into shit
I need to unwind
I wish I had money
Who could have seen what was coming
Your always acting so vein
Who knew that life could be
So strange at times
Who cares who's right at times
The only thing to do
Is put up a fight
And my head talks
And my feet just walk
You are a psycho queen
You better
Get the fuck out of my dreams
You are a psycho queen
You better
Get the fuck out of my dreams
I was only trying to lighten the mood a little bit
But you went a ruined it
You must be some sort of psycho

Now I'm checking the time to see when I can leave

The lyrics of "Queen" by The JAMS / The KLF express frustration and confusion with a person who is referred to as a "psycho queen." The singer tries to lighten the mood but is met with destruction, and only wants the person to leave their dreams. The singer contemplates their own behavior, realizing that they need to stop speaking their mind so much and unwind. The song ends with a repeated refrain of "It's time to let go because I am the psycho."
The song is something of an anthem for those who are tired of dealing with difficult people who disrupt their lives, appearing to encourage cutting these people loose. It speaks to the need for self-care and mental health, as the singer recognizes that they themselves may be part of the problem. Overall, the lyrics express a mixture of anger and resignation, with a message that it's ok to let go of toxic people.

RIP HM Queen Elizabeth II. I happen to know this was one of her favourite KLF tracks.
@michaeladams5636
Yeah

Being from Sweden and remembering hearing this one as a kid before i heard the original explains a lot about who i am today. 🤔
@bodychoke
Snacka om att börja i rätt ända.

I love Abba music and also I enjoy this track I played on college radio. I just read someone say under a recent Bjorn interview: "What makes Abba relevant til this day is their humility in all things." I thought "So then why didn't they just shrug off this cool track instead of suing to make them bonfire all their copies of the album and cause air pollution of our only planet?" But if I'd replied that there, then the commenter who I am sure has never heard of this track would think I was out of line and that I must hate Abba I suppose.
@TheRichardStanton
Bloody hell, I thought this song had been lost forever! I had the album recorded on a cassette which got mislaid or nicked perhaps. Great memories :)
@BedroomScenesMovie
Naaaah, there are CD-quality copies of the "1987" album floating around.
@gongmanname8147
Took me ages to find an original copy of the album with this track on it !
@gongmanname8147
At a reasonable price...
