| Killer Queen Lyrics Artist(Band):Queen
In a pretty cabinet 'Let them eat cake' she says Just like Marie Antoinette A built-in remedy For Khrushchev and Kennedy At anytime an invitation You can't decline Caviar and cigarettes Well versed in etiquette Extraordinarily nice Chorus: She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, Gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? To avoid complications She never kept the same address In conversation She spoke just like a baroness Met a man from China Went down to Asia Minor Then again incidentally If you're that way inclined Perfume came naturally from Paris for cars she couldn't care less Fastidious and precise Chorus Drop of a hat she's as willing as Playful as a pussy cat Then momentarily out of action Temporarily out of gas To absolutely drive you wild, wild She's out to get you Chorus Recommended at the price Insatiable in appetite Wanna try? You wanna try. If you find some error in Killer Queen Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to John for submitting the lyrics. Review about Killer Queen Marie Antoinette and her cake. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/21/09 I can't take it, I gotta say something. Mary Antoinette wasn't as stupid as people say, when she said "Let them eat cake", it was actually referring to the gunk that stuck to pots, the stuff that is caked on. The version of her referring to actually cake, the good kind, is merely a myth by somebody who only heard a few words, then ran off in the middle of history class laughing to people about the half story. Again, she was saying that the peasants should essentially eat dirt, or grime, or anything they could get, rather than her helping. She wasn't oblivious to the situation, she just didn't care. Let them eat cake! | Reviewer: Lyndsey | 4/30/09 sigh: You are half right. She probably didn't even care to say even that. She was executed because the citizens wanted independence, and they were starving. Sure, it was Marie Antoinette's fault (partially). But I have studied this for years and still can't find the logic behind killing all those innocent people by The Red Lady, or the guillotine. That's just one human rights activists opinion though. "Death to the Anarchists!" were the cries that echoed through Paris for years during the "Age of Terror" in many history books. What I still do not understand is how the Americans rebelled against their rulers with out beheading 30+ people in a day by a horrid contraption. Of course war isn't much better but still. The French were angry, with good reason but they took it a little far, way too far. Marie Antoinette realized her mistake as she was in prison and said, and I quote, "Tribulation, first makes you realize who you are." She realized too late though. She and Louis weren't France's finest leaders but there had been worse. The timing was just perfect though, the Americans had just become their own rulers, this really cool new beheading device had just been invented, the Queen is spending like there's no tomorrow, and the King either sits in his smithy, or is out hunting; not helping us, his people. Lets be like the Americans and rebel! But power made them crazy and for some unknown reason they liked blood. Hence the horror of the French Revolution. the cake sentence | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/27/09 Marie Antoinette wasn't very intelligent, she didn't know the real situation of the people in the "comunas" so I think that's why people along the time atributte her that sentence but I think that is most related to show the situation a the difference between the royalty a the people of Paris, and the indifference for that hard condition review of lyrics to "killer Queen" | Reviewer: rob | 3/20/09 I just wanted to correct a common mistake made with the line,"let'em eat cake" someone else above also said what i'm about to "marie antionette NEVER said "let'em eat cake" i always thought she did but after much discussion and reading about her and the famous line ...she did NOT say it! stop acting like u know everything! | Reviewer: Liza | 1/23/09 Freddie Mercury (the guy who wrote this song) said and I quote, "People are used to hard rock, energy music from Queen, yet with this single you almost expect Noel Coward to sing it. It's one of those bowler hat, black suspender belt numbers – not that Coward would wear that. It's about a high class girl. I'm trying to say that classy people can be whores as well. That's what the song is about, though I'd prefer people to put their interpretation upon it – to read into it what they like." so the song is about whores people! thats what he said himself! is not about actresses, divas, marie antoinette, or anything else like that. it is about classy whores! dont beleive me? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_Queen Don't Forget The Lyrics!!! | Reviewer: LuvMusic | 1/28/09 I understand that there's a lot of back and forth ranting about the error in the lyrics,... but, seriously now!... What happens if you go on a show like "Don't Forget The Lyrics" and this happens to be the million dollar song?... And, you have to recall the line "Met a man from China, went down to Asia Minor". But, instead you say, "Met a man from China, went down to Geisha Minah".... I guarantee you, you'd be kicking yourself in the butt for that one!... :( what lyrics are really about | Reviewer: Oh | 12/28/08 The truth is these lyrics are about the TV just like every other song produced by major labels in the last forty years. The laser-beam is a dead giveaway. Closed captioning is the built in remedy made more recently commonplace, though closed captioned music programs (a precursor of A.I.) would have been available to certain elite even before this song was written. Learn the truth about nested loop media at SimultaniaCastle.com you should all be cleaning up at the emerald bar... seriously? | Reviewer: sigh | 12/24/08 marie antoinette never said let them eat cake, it's a popular myth. European history teacher told us. And it was most likely referring to a different kind of flour, one that was way finer. Also, she was beheaded because of years of living in disgusting extravangance and self-indulgent opulence while peasants throughout France were oppressed and starving to death. Not a comment that didn't exist. yeah A french man restore justice | Reviewer: Martin the frog | 10/28/08 Of course the lyrics are "Marie-Antoinette" and not "Marie-Antoanete" as it is said by some ignorant fool : it is french. And the famous story about this queen is that one day, just before the French revolution, as one of his adviser told her "People are hungry, they're longing for bread", she answered "Well just let them have some brioche", that is to say a french cake. This kind of clever remark cost her her head... who posted that? | Reviewer: tatqa | 10/15/08 ok who said the stupid coment about mary antouanett you'd better learn french dumb ass its written marie antoinette duh and the lyrics are fine ok so i have a question about you if you say that you should find out the lyrics yourself what are you doing in a lyrics page?
