Queen - Killer Queen (lyrics) < RECENT >

Queen's "Killer Queen" portrays a high-class, sophisticated call girl who navigates the upper echelons of society with charm and lethal precision. Written by Freddie Mercury to show that "classy people can be whores as well," the song details a woman surrounded by luxury who uses her, as the lyrics suggest, "gunpowder, gelatine" nature to leave clients "out of action".
