Queen lyrics
Album: Greatest Hits I [1980]
| Bohemian Rhapsody | |
|
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality.
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.
Mama just killed a man, Put a gun against his head,
pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango.
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me.
(Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico. I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me.
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go.
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go.
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go.
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go.
(Let me go.) Will not let you go.
(Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(Oh mama mia, mama mia.) Mama mia, let me go.
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.
So you think you can love me and leave me to die.
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.
Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.
Any way the wind blows.

| Another One Bites The Dust | |
|
Steve walks warily down the street with the brim pulled way down low.
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet; mechine guns ready to go.
Are you ready, hey! Are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip to the sound of the beat.
Another one bites the dust. Another one bites the dust.
Another one gone, and another one gone. Another one bites the dust.
Hey! I'm gonna get you too. Another one bites the dust.
How do you think I'm going to get along without you, when you're gone?
You took me for e'vrything that I had and kicked me out on my own.
Are you happy? Are you satisfied? How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip to the sound of the beat.
CHORUS
Another one bites the dust; Another one bites the dust.
Another one bites the dust, (Hey hey) Another one bites the dust.
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man, and bring him to the ground.
You can beat him you can cheat him you can treat him bad
and leave him when he's down.
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you.
I'm standing on my own tow feet.
Out of the doorway the bullets rip, repeating the sound of the beat.
CHORUS

| Killer Queen | |
|
She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
CHORUS:
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
CHORUS
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild . .
She's all out to get you
CHORUS
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try . . .

Are you gonna take me home tonight?
Ah down beside that red fire light
Are you gonna let it all hang out?

| Save Me | |
|
It started off so well, they said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love,
how I loved you, how I cried.
The years of care and loyalty were nothing but a sham, it seems
The years belie we lived a lie I'll love you 'til I die.
Save me save me save me, I can't face this life alone
save me save me save me, I'm naked and I'm far from home.
The slate will soon be clean I'll erase the memories,
To start again with somebody new,
was it all wasted, all that love?
I hang my head and I advertise a soul for sale or rent
I have no heart I'm cold inside, I have no real intent
CHORUS
Each night I cry I still believe the lie I'll love you 'til I die.
Save me save me save me, I can't face this life alone
save me save me save me, Don't let me face my life alone.
save me save me save me, I'm naked and I'm far from home.

| Crazy Little Thing Called Love | |
|
This thing called love I just can't handle it,
this thing called love I must get round to it,
I ain't ready. Crazy little thing called love,
this thing (this thing) called love (called love)
it cries (like a baby) in a cradle all night,
it swings (woo woo) it jives (woo woo)
it shakes all over like a jelly fish,
I kinda like it. Crazy little thing called love.
There goes my baby, she knows how to Rock n' roll.
She drives me crazy she gives me hot and cold fever
then she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat.
I gotta be cool relax, get hip, get on my tracks,
take a back seat, hitchhike,
And take a long ride on my motorbike until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love.
(some repetitions)

| Somebody To Love | |
|
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

| Now I'm Here | |
|
Here I stand
Look around around around
But you won't see me
Now I'm here, Now I'm there, I'm just a . . .
Just a new man
Yes you made me live again
A baby I was when you took my hand
And the light of the night burned bright
And the people all stared didn't understand
But you knew my name on sight
Whatever came of you and me
America's new bride to be - don't worry baby I'm safe and sound
Down in the dungeon just Peaches 'n' me
Don't I love her so
A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky
Where the beams of your lovelight chase
Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain
With a rain running down my face
Your matches still light up the sky
And many a tear lives on in my eye
Down in the city just Hoople 'n' me
Don't I love him so
Whatever comes of you and me
I love to leave my memory with you
Now I'm here
Think I'll stay around around around
We'll be down in the city justa you 'n' me
Don't I love you so

| Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy | |
|
I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings
Be your Valentino just for you
Ooh love - Ooh Loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy -
Set my alarm, turn on my charm
That's because I'm a good old-fashioned loverboy
Ooh let me feel your heartbeat (grow faster, faster)
Ooh Ooh let me feel your love heat
Come on and sit on my hot-seat of love
And tell me how do you feel right after-all I'd like for you and I
to go romancing
Say the word - your wish is my command
Ooh love - Ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Write my letter
Feel much better
I'll use my fancy patter on the telephone
When I'm not with you
I think of you always
I miss you -
(I miss those long hot summer nights)
When I'm not with you
Think of me always
I love you - Love you
Hey boy where do you get it from
Hey boy where did you go?
I learned my passion in the good old
fashioned school of loverboys-
Dining at the Ritz we'll meet at nine precisely
I will pay the bill, you taste the wine
Driving back in style, in my saloon will do quite nicely
Just take me back to yours that will be fine (Come on and get it)
Ooh love, Ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy -
Everything's all right
Just hold on tight -
That's because I'm a good old fashioned loverboy

| Play The Game | |
|
Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy all you have to do
Is fall in love
Play the game,
Everybody play the game of love
When you're feeling down and your resistance is low
Light another cigarette and let yourself go
This is your life
Don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game, everybody play the game of love
the world go on below us
We are lost in time
And I don't now really what it means
All I know is that you love me
In my dreams
I keep hoping one day I'll awaken
And somehow you'll be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breaking
She touches me and suddenly I'm alive
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
|
| Seven Seas Of Rhye | |
|
Fear me, you lords and lady preachers,
I descend upon your earth from the skies;
I command your very souls, you unbelievers,
Bring before me what is mine, the seven seas of Rhye.
Can you hear me, you peers and privy councillors,
I stand before you naked to the eyes;
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust.
I swear that you'll be mine, at the seven seas of Rhye.
Sister, I live and lie for you, Mister, do and I'll die;
You are mine, I posess you, belong to you forever. Ah.
Storm the master marathon. I'll fly through by flash and thunder fire
and I'll survive, I'll survive, I'll survive, then I'll defy
the laws of nature and come out alive.
Begone with you, you shod and shady senators.
Give out the good leave out the bad evil cries;
I challenge the mighty titan and his troubadours,
And with a smile, I'll take you to the seven seas of Rhye.

| We Are The Champions | |
|
I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it -
I thank you all -
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

| Keep Yourself Alive | |
|
I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
How I had to keep on trying
Little better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile
Well I sold a million mirrors
In a shop in Alley Way
But I never saw my face
In any window any day
Well they say your folks are telling you
To be a super star
But I tell you just be satisfied
To stay right where you are
Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive
Well I've loved a million women
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
Brought to me on silver trays
Give me ev'rything I need
To feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger
Maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Still be where I started
Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money honey
You'll survive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied
Do you think you're better ev'ry day
No I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive mm
You take your time and take your money
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
To keep me satisfied
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money honey
You will survive
Keep you satisfied
Keep you satisfied

| Under Pressure | |
|
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why
Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
and love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
