A short ditty based on the traditional English ballad “Scarborough Fair”, in which the Roses hint at wanting to depose the Queen of England. John Squire’s guitar makes a sound like a gunshot during the outro. The Roses anti-royalist stance was greeted with outrage at the time from Britain’s tabloid newspapers, with MPs trying to get them banned from TV after Ian Brown said he fantasised about putting a blanket over the Queen Mother’s head.
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.

Like all folk songs, the point is not the music but the lyrics. And these are pretty vicious, especially when accompanied by that sound-effect of a silencer at the end.

Tim Umbach It grieves me dearly to see you say it sounds like Scarborough Fair by Simon And Garfunkel when you have Bob Dylan avatar. Shouldn't you say it sounds like Girl From The North Country or the old political song? Christ.

Ofcourse it sounds like Scarborough Fair... And Scarborough Fair sounds like Girl from the North country by Bob Dylan. Both Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel used the arangements made by some folksinger in england. I think. The lyrics in Scarborough Fair though, is as some people have pointed out, an old english traditional song from around the middle ages.
