Lyrics
I was sipping on a whiskey when I got the call
Yeah, my friend Lex was lying in the hospital
She'd been pretty sick for about half a year
But it seemed like this time the end was drawing near
So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train
I found her laid up and in a lot of pain
Her eyes met mine and then I understood
That her weather forecast wasn't looking too good
So I sat and spun her stories for a little while
Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile
But she silenced all my ramblings with a shake of her head
Drew me close and listen, this is what she said now:
"You'll live to dance another day
It's just now you'll have to dance for the two of us
So stop looking so damn depressed
And sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead"
Yeah, she told me she was sick of all the hospital food
And of doctors, distant relatives, draining her blood
She said "I know I'm dying but I'm not finished just yet
And I'm dying for a drink and for a cigarette"
So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel
In the centre of the city and to raise some hell
Lay waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep
Then we know we're good and done
...and South London's not the same any more
The Queen is dead
And the last of the greats has finally gone to bed
Well, I was working on some words when Sarah called me up
She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up
And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done
I felt bad for not being there and now, well, she was gone
So I tried to think what Lex would want me to do
At times like this when I was feeling blue
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad, sad news
And we headed to the city for a drink or two
And we sang
"We live to dance another day
It's just now we have to dance for one more of us
So stop looking so damn depressed
And sing with all our hearts
Long live the Queen"

its amazing seeing frank perform, each song holds a special meaning to him, this song in particular immortalizes a dear friend he lost. Franks Brilliant!

You can see the amount of effort these guys put into the concert, Frank is singing himself down to the bone. Fuck I'd love to catch this man on tour.

Saw him in a small venue in Aberdeen last year. Singing himself down to the bone is just what he does. Every. Single. Time. I don't know how he and the band do it night in-night out but the energy just doesn't drop regardless of what size of show they're playing, it's incredible.

You could put the live versions of his songs next to the studio ones and only be able to tell the difference by some fatigue in his voice and the noise of the crowd. One of the most honest performers both in person and on record.

I am utterly ashamed to admit how recently I discovered Frank Turner. Better late than never I suppose.

Very good singer. His song writing is a bit corny depends what you like I suppose.

Awww man, this song has gotten me through some really tough days. I was so sad to have missed frank on tour at a dingy little bar in kelowna. I was all ready to go when I came down with a terrible flu 😷 I still can’t believe that I missed the show. Frank, come back to kelowna, my life will not be complete until I see you live 😜

Micah Bell hopefully he will come to kelowna again. Keep up the good taste in music. I work in a high school and have yet to meet a single teen who even knows who Frank Turner is. Either you have incredibly good taste in music or your parents are awesome

A Frank Turner concert is one of the few places where I’ve seen 40-something’s dancing on the floor alongside 20-something’s moshing in the pit.

I wish this was available on its own, I wanted the DVD from the night but I can't afford 60 quid for vinyls I'm not gonna use

He mentioned somewhere that eventually the DVD will be available on its own. My guess is sometime next year.

Also there might be an official download you can buy at some point. Xtra Mile is usually pretty considerate in how they let their fans choose how to buy their stuff, especially since the standard DVD format seems to not work in the US or something.
