Lyrics

Life is very long when you're lonely

"The Queen is Dead" is the first track on the Smiths' 1986 album of the same name. Johnny Marr said it was based on a song he wrote as a teen. As an ode to Morrissey's obsession with 60's British cinema, the track opens with a sung version of "Take Me Back to Dear Old Blighty" from the 1962 drama The L-Shaped Room. View wiki
