03. ‘The Queen Is Dead’ (1986)
‘Her very Lowness with a head in a sling’. In a furious rage this tune opens the band’s best album. A wild ride with Morrissey in top form. A bitter payoff with the English royals – something he was never afraid of showing in the course of the past 30 years. Yes, Morrissey hates monarchy, but almost three decades later the queen is still alive. And so is this song.
