About Kings and Queens

"Kings and Queens" is Killing Joke's third single from their fifth studio album, Night Time. It was originally released by E. G. Records on 21 March 1985 as a 12" and 7" single in the UK, and a 7" single by Polydor in the Netherlands. It was produced by Chris Kimsey. The 12" single featured "Kings and Queens (A Right Royal Mix)" as an A-side, and both "The Madding Crowd (Remixed by Killing Joke)" and "Kings and Queens" as B-sides. E. G.'s 7" single and Polydor's 7" single exempted "Kings and Queens (A Right Royal Mix)" and instead featured "Kings and Queens" as the A-side, and "The Madding Crowd (Remixed by Killing Joke)" as the B-side. E. G. also released a remix of the song, "Kings and Queens (Knaves Mix)", as an A-side and featured the same B-sides as the 12" single of "Kings and Queens". more »

Well take it easy
While the world goes crazy
As it's just another day
And we've all been through the mangle
And our pockets are empty
But we'll live like kings and queens
Hear the choirs of noise sing
Take a load off my mind soothe me
Live like kings and queens

Well easy sleazy
In and out and back again
Feel a power running through me
And I'm alive and kicking
I accept submission
To the pleasures of the flesh
And the joy of pain
Satisfy me satisfy
Live like kings and queens

I said: "take it easy
"Sanity has come"
I can never undo
The wrong of the beginning
There's so many hungry
But I'm gonna turn a blind eye
'cause I've got to live now
Rejoice and kill your heart 'cause I say...
Live like kings and queens
