“Her Majesty (Rock the Grotto Reprise)”
Lyrics
I don’t wanna be a drunk scared of the bottle
Or a dream about something awful
Yeah Her Majesty might be a pretty nice girl
But she doesn’t give a damn about me

So I always end up with a bunch of finished songs that didn’t make the cut, or little pieces of songs that didn’t work out. I think this was a complete song at one point, but I discarded these lyrics and the song eventually became “Rock the Grotto.” The only verse from that discarded song that I loved was this one, and I was bummed that I couldn’t find a spot for it somewhere in the record. But then I thought about doing just this tiny piece like the Beatles song “Her Majesty,” which was a super short and almost discarded song that was tacked onto the end of Abbey Road. “Rock the Grotto” already had a big crash that I could use for the beginning of this song too, so I put the whole thing together in maybe ten minutes.
