in the UK she is known as her Royal Highness so the lyric is the reverse of that ... head in a sling means to see her with a noose around her neckHi everyone
I am struggling with the translation of a verse of the Queen is Dead song.
Could you please help me to find the more accurate meaning of:
"Her very Lowness with a head in a sling"
Thanks a lot for helping

I took the literal meaning of the thread title.
The Queen Is Dead is a message from Morrissey to all that he's given up his effeminately gay ways, and yet he can't tell it straight, so wraps it up in a tale of royal nonsense. The giveaway is the unwritten lyrics of "all those lies about make-up and long hair - they're still there".
It's emblematic of himself and nothing else, and the only reason it's dressed up as it is is so his mum didn't have to see the literal meaning.That's an unusual interpretation. I just saw TQID as The Smiths manifesto - typical anti-Establishment Moz, an outsider lamenting the general state of the world, the uselessness of the people in power, the greed of the Church and the general loneliness and misery of daily life. Very very similar thematically to Nowhere Fast. It's classic Moz and it's a masterpiece, but the only reference I see to sexuality is the brilliant line about him being "the 18th pale descendant.." of a queen. And I thought he was identifying himself with the Charles figure, meek and tied to Mum's apron and all that.
I'm pretty sure his mum was hip to the fact that her son likes dudes.It's emblematic of himself and nothing else, and the only reason it's dressed up as it is is so his mum didn't have to see the literal meaning.
That has nothing to do with the real question.I took the literal meaning of the thread title.

You're retarded. He has so many gay songs. What do you think the coded message is in "Hand In Glove?"It's emblematic of himself and nothing else, and the only reason it's dressed up as it is is so his mum didn't have to see the literal meaning.

Yeah his mum was pumping him full of Oscar Wilde books while Steven minced all over Manchester with Jon Daley. Betty (RIP) was probably wondering when he'd bring the right girl home, LOL.Show me one catholic household in the 70s and 80s who was really "cool with it". Maybe she accepted things at a later stage and supported Steven but @Uncleskinny's theory isn't too erroneous at all. Catholic guilt bears down heavily on us pale and thin altar boys.

Not very coded at all

I was just trying to to use an example obvious enough for @Uncleskinny.Not very coded at all
