The Roses only put it into their live sets in 1990, using it as an intro to I Am The Resurrection. On the Second Coming tour, it was initially part of the Roses acoustic set, but was dropped after a while.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And boil my bones
I'll not rest
'Til she's lost her throne
My aim is true
My message is clear
It's curtains for you
Elizabeth, my dear
The lyrics to The Stone Roses's song "Elizabeth My Dear" are spoken from the perspective of a rebel or a revolutionary who aims to overthrow the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II. The opening line "Tear me apart and boil my bones" is a common English phrase used to express strong feelings or devotion. In this case, the line expresses the singer's determination to succeed in their mission even if it means sacrificing themselves. The second line points to the fact that the singer wants to see the queen removed from her position of power. The third line "My aim is true, my message is clear" emphasizes the singer's confidence in their mission and the clarity of their message. Finally, the line "It's curtains for you, Elizabeth my dear" serves as a warning to the queen that her time is up and her position of power is in danger.

I woke up today and turned on TV and remembered " its Queens Jubilee Day " and immediately proceeded to find this track and blast it as loud as I could blast it....
Don't mean to be a prick but the end is nigh imo - next 12 months and Lizzie's time will be up....
And on that fateful day, the monarchy should be abolished and all of the ' Royal ' families assets should be be divided up amongst the populace in a means tested way so poorest would receive the most....
My 2 pence worth....
Enjoy the public holiday folks....👍✌️☮️
