Lyrics
When your mother sends back all your invitations
When your mother rejects all the invitations you send.
And your father, to your sister he explains
Your father explains to your sister that you are tired of yourself and your creations.
That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations
Expressing a sense of weariness or dissatisfaction with one's own identity and accomplishments.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane
Inviting Queen Jane to come and see the speaker, suggesting a desire for connection.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane
Reiteration of the invitation to Queen Jane.
Now, when all of the flower ladies what back what they have lent you
Referring to women who had lent something but now want it back, possibly symbolizing lost support or resources.
And the smell of their roses does not remain
The pleasant memories or offerings (roses) from these women no longer have an impact.
And all of your children start to resent you

Won't you come see me, Queen Jane
Repetition of the invitation to Queen Jane.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane
Emphasis on the request for Queen Jane to come and see the speaker.
Now, when all the clowns that you have commissioned
Referring to individuals the speaker has hired or collaborated with, and their unfortunate outcomes.
Have died in battle or in vain
These hired individuals have either died in battle or failed to achieve their purpose.
And you're sick of all this repetition
Expressing discontent with a monotonous or unfulfilling existence.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane
Repetition of the invitation to Queen Jane.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane
Reiterating the call for Queen Jane to visit.
When all of your advisers heave their plastic
Advisers offering superficial solutions, possibly represented by plastic, to convince of pain.
At your feet to convince you of your pain
The advisers want drastic actions based on their counsel.
Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic
Encouraging Queen Jane to visit in the face of pressured decision-making.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane
Repetition of the invitation to Queen Jane.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane
Reaffirming the desire for Queen Jane's presence.
Now, when all of the bandits that you turn your other cheek to
Individuals who you have shown kindness to or spared now expressing dissatisfaction.
All lay down their bandannas and complain
These individuals abandoning their hostile intentions and expressing complaints.
And you want somebody you don't have to speak to
Desire for someone who requires no communication or explanation.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane
Repetition of the invitation to Queen Jane.
Ah won't you come see me, Queen Jane
Final plea for Queen Jane to come and see the speaker.
