Lyrics for Killer Queen as interpreted by Novartza

Killer Queen Lyrics
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

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime, ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

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
Then again incidentally, if you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Drop of a hat she's a 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

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime, ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try

I have to say, the only thing I dislike about Queen is the fact that Freddy was a homosexual. But other than that, this band is kick ass, love their music.

It's about a high-class prostitute; like Marie Antoinette. Meaning she just knows how to sell herself and she knows how to spend her money.

-linds "let them eat cake."

I think this song is about a high class prostitue.

"A built in remedy, for Khrushchev and Kennedy" both know for their infidelity

"Met a man from China, went down to Geisha Minah"
Minah I think is a brothel

"You wanna try"

The luring call of a prositute class

I think that the song is about a prostitute, there's some lines that say that.
"Anytime an invitation"
"Recommended at the price"
If we talk about a rich girl, she shouldn't smoke, but there's caviar too. A rich girl will keep her adress
Result: It's about a prostitute
Sorry for my poor english

this is a good song. And You know what analyzing it, isnt going to make it better. Its so freaking obvious. Okay Freddie Mercury is freaking wonderful. So is David Bowie. Now; its not about a prositute. Just to put it out there...
Do people have to analyze everything?
Just enjoy it.

umm dude the reason why people are analyzing the song is cos this is SONGMEANINGS.net... its where you discuss the meanings dubmass... anyway the song prolly is about a high class prostitute, but it could just be a high class girll y'know... the marie antoinette line, she was the wife of the king of france right before the revolution... and let them eat cake was a line from her because people were starving in france... meaning she could care less about anyone cept for herself.... blah

It's about a high class prostitute, and how that even if your weathy you can still be a whoar, Freddie said that himself in an interview.

I think its about women who find rich guys and get all their money and kill them. "gunpowder, gelatine" She poisions them and uses there money to buys stuff eventually it all becomes meaning less. When that happens She just goes and finds her new target.

Here's a quote from Freddy Mercury

"People are used to hard rock, energy music from Queen, yet with this single you almost expect Noel Coward to sing it. It's one of those bowler hat, black suspender belt numbers – not that Coward would wear that. (...) It's about a high class call girl. I'm trying to say that classy people can be whores as well. That's what the song is about, though I'd prefer people to put their interpretation upon it – to read into it what they like."

The song is definitely about a high class hooker - FM said so himself. Now about the gay/tranny thing, that is open for interpretation. I don't think every song Queen ever did is secretly about homosexuality and AIDS.

To the person who said,

'She keeps her emotion in her pretty cabinet.'

It's actually Moet et Chandon, not emotion.

what i get from this killer queen is not a transvestite though, prostitute maybe, but clearly not a woman who would bow down to a man. Instead, she makes all men bow down to her, respect her and maybe scared of her.

Her first priority is, of course herself. She keeps her Moet et Chandon for herself, while people keep best champagne for important people (in business, goverment, etc). She is ignorant (Marie Antoinette said "let them eat cake" as the answer of the protests from the masses about the very scarily expensive bread price, noone can eat because of that). As a woman, she is unbelievable, she is irresistible, yet not vulgar because she is elegant, she has high class taste and seems very smart, confident and well educated. she has all the power; "Gunpowder, gelatine, dynamite with a laser beam" and she clearly can protect herself, thats why she doesnt need a man, instead men crave a woman like her.

And the thing is, she's a clever one, too, because she disguises it with her high class and tries to seduce people with charm and wealth.

i love this song. i'm thinking it's a mockery of high class and false prestige, or maybe just about a prostitute.

wow. what. the. fuck. i have to say, the only thing i dislike about your comment is that you're a shallow asshole. just because freddie was gay, doesn't mean he wasn't a genius. his orientation didn't stop queen from becoming one of the best bands of all time, did it? but whatever, you're probably right anyway. because i'm so sure that since you're straight, that makes you such a good person, and an even better songwriter.

I agree with everyone about the high price call girl. But just for arguments sake what if it were something deeper, with the Kennedy and Krushcev reference, and the mention of weapons could it just for the sake of argument be about war? Love Queen! Wish that there were bands like this these days!

obviously, as aforementioned, it's about a high class prostitute (transvestite maybe, but maybe not.)

"A built in remedy, for Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation, you can't decline"
--She has very high paying clients, obviously..

"Met a man from China, went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally, if you're that way inclined"
--Possibly this is her meeting place, client.
Or maybe (if tranny) she got a sex change from the Asians..

"For cars she couldn't care less"
--Does the deed in cars, obviously.


That's all the bits I'm going to analyze. :)

The whole Kennedy thing may be a reference to Marilyn Monroe. That kinda girl.

Well before I discovered that Mercury originally wrote it about a classy whore, I had my own interpretation of it.

I thought it was about this beautiful, intelligent, glamorous lady that the Queen boys were basically all over, but their was something absolutely odd about her - she drove them crazy. Yes, they really had to get to the bottom of that.

And so Killer Queen is devised.
