The queen is dead was rhythmic strafing to the same effect as how soon is now but the devastating melancholia shifts into the sardonic tone that led morrissey to be labelled the pope of mope by the 1980s press an unfair term considering he is whip smart and slyly jovial on a good portion of the album.
I don t think morrissey ever sounded better on a record than he does on the queen is dead.
