Annotationen

Dies war der erste grosse Hit von Queen, der Durchbruch der Band. Er kam auf Platz zwei der britischen Charts.
Man hört den Übergang vom natürlichen Register zum Falsett-Gesang, wenn Freddy Mercury singt: «an invitation | You can't DECLINE». «Decline» ist Falsett.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She keeps Moet et Chandon In her 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 [Post-Chorus] Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Want to try? [Verse 2] 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 Geisha Minah (Killer, killer, she's a killer Queen) Then again incidentally If you're that way inclined Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally) For cars she couldn't care less Fastidious and precise [Chorus] She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] 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 all out to get you [Chorus] She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime [Outro] Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Want to try? Want to try?
