Lyrics:

People get what they deserve
Time is round and space is curved
Honey, have you got the nerve
To be Queen Elvis?
See that man who mows his lawn
He'll hang in drag before the dawn
Some are made and some are born
To be Queen Elvis
It could break your mother's heart
It could break your sister's heart
Coming out's the hardest part
When you're Queen Elvis
Justify your special ways
Justify your special ways
Getting blowjobs from the press
Oh, I'm jealous can't you guess?
I could never fit your dress
Queen elvis
Oh and I'll sculpt you
So very hard
Oh and I'll sculpt you
Til you bleed
Everybody must get stoned
All together all alone
Babbling beside the throne
Of Queen Elvis
Justify your special ways
Justify your special ways
Two mirrors make infinity
In the mirror you and me
Find out just what love could be
Queen elvis
Oh and I'll sculpt you
So very hard
Oh and I'll sculpt you
Til you breathe
People get what they deserve
Time is round and space is curved
Honey, have you got the nerve
To be Queen Elvis?

Robyn Hitchcock is one of England's most enduring contemporary singer/songwriters and live performers. Despite having been persistently branded as eccentric or quirky for much of his career, Hitchcock has continued to develop his whimsical repertoire, deepen his surreal catalog, and expand his devoted audience beyond the boundaries of cult stature.
