Adventure Thing #14 - "Queen Of England" Acoustic Demo (Patreon)

After last week's album update, there was a comment that objected to our usage of the term "Abandoned" and suggested "Side Quest" would be a better piece of verbiage. I completely agree!

Case in point, this week and next week will be a song that made it to the bandscratch phase, but that we ultimately didn't feel should make it any further.  It's an interesting case study, since we tried a VERY different direction from the acoustic demo to the bandscratch, and even though we won't be taking the song any further, I think it's absolutely a fun Side Quest for those of you joining us on this adventure, the type of song that would likely never even make it on to a b-sides album.

So, here it is in Acoustic Demo form, with Bandscratch coming next week! The song is called "Queen of England"

Lyrics

She says she's heartless
And she don't care
She says the world needs villains and life's not fair
She says she's seen it
All before
And all the lovesick losers they leave her bored

Oh what to do with someone who's decided that she’s over
Everything and everywhere and everyone she knows?
I’ve got just one question for her majesty the martyr
And if she can answer me I swear I’ll let her go:

Chorus:
Who died and made you Queen of England?
You hide away inside a shell
Nobody sees the queen if she don't wanna see them
But your majesty can’t hide from me I know you too well

She says I'm hopeless
But I don't mind
She says I'm too naive and I'm truly blind
She calls me crazy
And she's not wrong
I think it may take crazy to wait this long

Oh what to do with someone's who's convinced she knows the answers
Nothing you can say will change the way it's gonna be
Well I've still got one question for her majesty to ponder
And I know I'd let her go if she could answer me:

Chorus

Pomp & circumstance bridge

Chorus

Soft verse:
They say it's pointless
Enough's enough
They say our stars got crossed
And our fates gave up
They say it's over
Maybe so
But I've got one last question before I go...

Chorus
