It was co-written and produced by [[Stephen Street]]. The song's title pre-dates the song's recording as it was also the proposed initial title of [[The Queen Is Dead]] as asserted by [[https://www.rhino.com/article/happy-anniversary-the-smiths-the-queen-is-dead Rhino Records]] <blockquote> 'Produced by Morrissey and Johnny Marr in conjunction with engineer Stephen Street, who’d proven his mettle on Meat is Murder, the process of recording The Queen is Dead began with the album tentatively set to be called Margaret on the Guillotine, a title which – as fans of Viva Hate well know – Morrissey recycled a few years down the line.' </blockquote> == Lyrics == <poem> The kind people Have a wonderful dream Margaret on the guillotine Because people like you Make me feel so tired When will you die? When will you die? When will you die? When will you die? When will you die? And people like you Make me feel so old inside Please die... And kind people Do not shelter this dream Make it real Make the dream real Make the dream real Make it real Make the dream real Make it real </poem> {{CommonSongSections | Artist = Morrissey | Song = {{#replace:{{#replace:{{PAGENAME}}| (single)|}}| (song)|}}}}
