is it true or are you still the queen?

Like getting blood out of a stone

The city left you lost and gone

You came to dance, but there's no poignancy when they all leave you...

standing alone

The wider issues of the day

just pass you by, you're gonna pay

for looking at the floor when people talk to you.

You wrote a book about yourself
Am Am
The people left it on the shelf

You'll write another one

I've seen the company you keep
Am Am
You're on the sofa hidden deep
Em Em D D
While on the telly Sid James speaks you like God
G G D D
You're always looking for a sign
Am Am
But boy you blow it every time
Em Em
You hear a voice begin to speak

You ignore it and go softly to sleep

softly to sleep
