Theme: The Queen: Ringo Starr "Elizabeth Reigns"


Although Ringo isn't calling the British government a 'fascist regime', "Elizabeth Reigns" (Starkey/Hudson/Burr/Dudas/Grakal 2002) from his 2003 solo album "Ringo Rama"  nostalgically pokes fun at Queen Elizabeth in a much less aggressive manner than the Sex Pistols.


A letter unsent
entombed in cement
and hung from the hanging tree
God save the Queen
if you know what I mean
we don't really need a king.

Six hundred servants

use her detergent
scrubbing the palace floor
and all of your sins are
as big as the Windsors
so lets point our fingers
no more.
