1977, the queen's jubilee marked 25 years on the throne, to many the royal family already felt like a waste of money and a drain on the country's resources. Released as a single with a picture of the queen with a pin through her nose, the song was banned for a short while. When they went out and played it on the river during the jubilee itself, they were arrested. The song is pure punk and very Johnny Rotten. "God save the queen, 'cos tourists are money, and our figurehead, is not what she seems, God save the Queen, we mean it man! There is no future in England's dreaming."

This song is about how Johnny feels about the queen and how people were/are treated by the monarchy.
