All the Queen’s Horses Lyrics by Shakespears Sister

Singles Party (1988-2019)

2019

All the Queen's horses
All the Queen's men
They couldn't put us
Back together again
'Cause there's a fire
Burning in my veins
Slaughtered desire
And broken dreams
You came to me with promises
You'd never keep
And words like dying roses
Thorns that cut so deep
All the Queen's horses
All the Queen's men
They couldn't put us
Back together again
No golden kisses
No velvet throne (no velvet throne)
The King has left her all alone
Just like a serpent
You strolled into my heart
A vampire of the night
You shot your poison dart
You took my innocence
My money, and my pride
But you can never take
The love I keep inside
All the Queen's horses
All the Queen's men
They couldn't put us
Back together again, no
No golden kisses
No velvet throne (no velvet throne)
The King has left her all alone
(instrumental harmonica/strings solo)
No golden kisses
No velvet throne (no velvet throne)
The King has left her all alone
(Outro instrumental with whistled melody)
