"God Save the Queen" (alternatively "God Save the King") is an anthem used in a number of Commonwealth realms, their territories, and the British Crown Dependencies. The words and title are adapted to the gender of the current monarch, e.g. replacing "King" with "Queen", "he" with "she", and so forth when a king reigns. It is the de facto British national anthem and of some British territories; it is one of two national anthems for New Zealand (since 1977) and those of Britain's territories that have their own additional local anthem; and the royal anthem of Australia (since 1984), Canada (since 1980), Barbados, Jamaica,[citation needed] and Tuvalu. In countries not previously part of the British Empire, the tune of "God Save the Queen" has also been used as the basis for different patriotic songs, though still generally connected with royal ceremony.
Thomas Augustine Arne (1710–1778) is the composer of the song (first sung in 1745, see below). Beyond its first verse, which is consistent, it has many historic and extant versions: Since its first publication, different verses have been added and taken away and, even today, different publications include various selections of verses in various orders. In general only one verse is sung; sometimes two verses are sung, and on rare occasions three.
The Queen may refer to:
Any queen, for instance:
Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926) is the constitutional monarch of 16 sovereign states known as the Commonwealth realms, and head of the 54-member Commonwealth of Nations. She is also head of state of the Crown Dependencies.
Elizabeth was born in London, and educated privately at home. Her father acceded to the throne as George VI in 1936 on the abdication of his brother Edward VIII. She began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, in which she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. On the death of her father in 1952, she became Head of the Commonwealth and queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon. Her coronation service in 1953 was the first to be televised. Between 1956 and 1992, the number of her realms varied as territories gained independence and some realms became republics. Today, in addition to the first four aforementioned countries, Elizabeth is Queen of Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.

I ran through
Storm stained city streets
Paved with pain
To bring these roses to you
And with sore throat insecurity
You pulled the thorns
From my bleeding side
There were winter days
Spent in - sulking - side
Try to heat cold sheets
Hide allergy eyes...
I'm now hanging out with destiny
And begging it to get the best of me
What else can I do?
Why do you read me
Like no one else?
Used to live headaches
Now they're somewhere else...
We are handguns, angel,
Waiting to explode...
We've lived cold lives
But now we know
The sun may hide
But the night is always there
So don't anticipate
It's not worth the wait...
What did you expect?
Status report: I've called it a day...
There's a world of people
Different than me...
Status report: I've lost my voice...
Trying to be heard over this noise
Die young, or live forever?
I'm just trying to get through the night
See there's this voice
Dragging me down
Die young, or live forever?
I'm just trying to refind my heart
It was always there
Just hard to see in the dark...
You weren't even looking
Sleeping like there's no tomorrow
God save the queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
A potential H bomb
God save the queen
She's not a human being

Smoke in the sky
Slime in the sea
Tall timber tumblin' down around me
Red acid rain
Glows in the night
Nuclear winter closes down on me
The light of the world is fading to black
And the absence of people who care
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)
God save the queen
Dear mother earth is dying away
Time's running out
One more tomorrow depends on today
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Greenhouse condition getting' steamier
Nobody's clean
Nobody's free
Nobody's breathin' any easier
The children of earth are dying each day
And the nightmare of who is to blame
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)
