Queen is Dead question

[Bill Poster]

Anybody know what the weird helium voice right at the start of The Queen is Dead says, the first words in the great song? Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you mean after the sample of 'dear old Blighty,' right before Moz starts singing the lyrics? That's Moz singing the words 'By land, by sea, farewell.'

Plus, the key bit of the whole album, in my opinion - the bit in the middle where he sings "All those lies about make-up and long hair, they're still there", thus neatly referencing the double meaning of the song and the album itself.

For 27 years I thought Morrissey sang "Royals, bless them...."
