Burger Queen
Placebo · Box Set [2009]
Hey You, Hey You
Came to this world by caesarian section
Hey You, Hey You
Chooses his clothes to match his pallid complexion
Hey You, Hey You
Now it takes him all day just to get an erection
Hey You, things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Goes out to cruise and to meet his connection
Hey You, Hey You
He never scores he just gets an infection
Hey You, Hey You
Dreams of a place with a better selection
Hey You, Hey You
Still it takes him all day just to get an erection
Hey You, things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Luxembourger Queen
He's a Burger Queen
Slightly bemused by the total rejection
Hey You, Hey You
Came to this world by ceasarian section
Hey You, Hey You
Dreams of a place with a better selection
Hey You,Hey You
Dreams of a face that is pure perfection
Hey You, things aren't what they seem
Luxemburger Queen (x3)
He's a Burger Queen
