Queen Canute Video (MV)

Oh yeah
Her tiny feet were in the sand with the water at her mercy
Caution to the wind with an air of controversy
A flotilla of the faithful with allegiance to the crown
And a gaggle of the gutless but I think they're gonna drown
Her mouth is irresistible and with a single syllable
She conjures up a gale and the tide turns tail
She's Queen Canute.
The congregation gathers as she goes into a speech
While the bodies of her suitors get washed up along the beach
But she's got a busy morning and there's no time for remorse
She has to roll her sleeves up for another show of force
Her eyes are fascinating while she sits there fulminating
If she doesn't get her way there'll be hell to pay
She's Queen Canute
Well it's easy to imagine how she came to the throne
When those character assassinations cut you to the bone
With a Ruy Lopez attack and Sicilian defence
She'll be executing prisoners and hanging the expense
While she's practicing a dozen ways of death by elocution
The survivors form a circle trying to plan a revolution
She said "Babe, you ain't seen nothing yet. You really can't deny
I did better than those other guys - at least my feet are dry!"
She's lovelier than ever as she plans her next endeavour
If the sun is overdue then it's you-know-who
It's Queen Canute
It's Queen Canute
It's Queen Canute
Oh yeah
Go on baby, go on
