about

Monument concluded with the Whichone (Outro) and using the idea put forward on the first three Queen albums, a sort of ‘taster’ track to leave you with a hint of what’s to begin the next one. Musically the track is a slight departure in that it is basically a triplet feel minor blues, lyrically a satire based around the idea of endless choice, the idea being, that if you have too much choice, or too many possible things to choose from, the choice becomes more difficult and less convincing.

lyrics

WHICHONE

Given that there’s a general election due in the next few months or so, sir, who are you going to vote for? Which aeroplane should I take? Could you tell me what colour underpants are you wearing today, sir? What time’s the train? What age was your favourite house? What car do you drive these days, sir? Where should I go? Who shall I go with? Who shall I go to see? How many questions shall I ask? Why should I do that? How many questions should I answer? Why shouldn’t I do that? Which one should I choose?”

You’ve got time
Don’t know how to use it

You’ve got choice
Yet still you abuse it

You’ve got wheels
To drive ‘round the moon

You make deals
Keep the focus in zoom

Got ideas in your brain that are turnin’ you insane
Got a map, got a road, got a lifetime to offload but

Which one will take you home?
Which one still takes you home?
Which one will take you home?
Which one still takes you home?

You’ve got eyes
To see in the dark

You’ve got TV
To move information

You’ve got words
You wish would mean more

Got a home, got a loan, got a personal account
Got a suit, got some roots, got a millstone made of doubt, but

Which one will take you home?
Which one still takes you home?
Which one will take you home?
Which one still takes you

You stroll on through life
With your independent flair
Not caring for the flowers
Or the traps left by unwary
Foolishness
That we do
On our own

But out there in the half – light,
There’s a beast we must beware
The doubts of your existence
Grow
Will you dare?
 
Come with me
Come and see
 
The cancer of the city
Grows underground
And with lead in air pollution
Dulls
Kills
Your mind
 
Which one will take you home?
Which one still takes you home?
Which one will take you home?
Which one still takes you home?
 
(Repeat and fade)
