Innuendo

Words and music by Queen (Roger, apparently)

While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand

While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land

While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow

Till the mountains crumble into the plain

Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'

Tread that fine line

Oh we'll keep on tryin yeah

Just passing our time

While we live according to race, colour or creed

While we rule by blind madness and pure greed

Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion

Through the aeons, and on and on

Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'

We'll tread that fine line

Oh oh we'll keep on tryin'

Till the end of time

Till the end of time

Through the sorrow all through our splendour

Don't take offence at my innuendo

You can be anything you want to be

Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be

Be free with your tempo be free be free

Surrender your ego be free be free to yourself

Oooh ooh

If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky

If there's a point if there's a reason to live or die

If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask

Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask

Oh yes we'll keep on trying

Hey tread that fine line

Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah (yeah yeah)

And whatever will be will be

We'll keep on trying

We'll just keep on trying

Till the end of time

Till the end of time

Till the end of time

 

 

I'm Going Slightly Mad

Words and music by Queen (Freddie)

 

 

When the outside temperature rises

And the meaning is oh so clear

One thousand and one yellow daffodils

Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear

Are they trying to tell you something

You're missing that one final screw

You're simply not in the pink my dear

To be honest you haven't got a clue

I'm going slightly mad

I'm going slightly mad

It finally happened - happened

It finally happened - ooh oh

It finally happened

I'm slightly mad

Oh dear

I'm one card short of a full deck

I'm not quite the shilling

One wave short of a shipwreck

I'm not my usual top billing

I'm coming down with a fever

I'm really out to sea

I think I'm a banana tree

Oh dear

I'm going slightly mad

I'm going slightly mad

It finally happened - happened

It finally happened - uh huh

It finally happened

I'm slightly mad

Oh dear

Ooh ooh ah ah

Ooh ooh ah ah

I'm knitting with only one needle

Unravelling fast it's true

I'm driving only three wheels these days

But my dear how about you

I'm going slightly mad

I'm going slightly mad

It finally happened

It finally happened - oh yes

It finally happened

I'm slightly mad

Just very slightly mad

And there you have it

 

Headlong

Words and music by Queen (Brian)

 

 

And you're rushing headlong you've got a new goal

And you're rushing headlong out of control

And you think you're so strong

But there ain't no stopping

And there's nothin' you can do about it

Nothin' you can do no there's nothin' you can do about it

No there's nothin you can nothin' you can nothin' you can do about it

And you're rushing headlong you've got a new goal

And you're rushing headlong out of control

And you think you're so strong

But there ain't no stopping no there's nothin' you can do about it

Yeah

Hey he used to be a man with a stick in his hand

Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy do

She used to be a woman with a hot dog stand

Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy do

Now you've got soup in the laundry bag

Now you've got strings you're gonna lose your rag

You're gettin' in a fight

Then it ain't so groovy when you're screaming in the night

Let me out of this cheap B movie

Headlong down the highway and you're rushing

Headlong out of control

And you think you're so strong

But there ain't no stopping and you can't stop rockin'

And there's nothin you can nothin' you can nothin' you can do about it

When a red hot man meets a white hot lady

Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy do

Soon the fire starts raging gets you more than half crazy

Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy do

Now they start freaking everywhere you turn

You can't start walking cause your feet got burned

It ain't no time to figure wrong from right

Cause reason's out of the window better hold on tight

You're rushing headlong

Headlong out of control - yeah

And you think you're so strong

But there ain't no stopping

And there's nothin you nothin' you nothin' you can do about it at all

Yeah yeah

Alright - go

And you're rushing headlong down the highway

And you're rushing headlong out of control

And you think you're so strong

But there ain't no stopping

There's nothin nothin' nothin' you can do about it

Ah ha

Headlong

Yeah yeah yeah

I Can't Live With You

Words and music by Queen (Brian)

 

I can't live with you

But I can't live without you

I can't let you stay

Ooh but I can't live if you go away

I don't know just how it goes

All I know is I can't live with you

Yeah I'm having a hard time

I'm walking a fine line between hope and despair

You may think that I don't care

But I travelled a long road to get hold of my sorrow

I tried to catch a dream

But nothing's what it seems

Love is saying baby it's all right

When deep inside you're really petrified

Lover turns to hater

On this escalator

I can't live with you - yeah

But I can't live without you

I can't breathe if you stay

But I can't bear you to go away

I don't know what time it is

All I know is I can't live with you

We're stuck in a bad place

We're trapped in a rat race

And we can't escape

Maybe there's been some mistake

We're trying to make a high score

We're walking through a closed door

And nobody's winning

We're just sinning against ourselves

Hold on baby tell me it's all right

Anger's breaking from the hurt inside

Passions screaming hotter

Doin' what we gotta do - yeah

I can't live with you I can't live with you

I can't live I can't live

I can't I can't live with you

But baby I'll never ever leave you

I can't live with you

But I can't live without you

Cause I'm in love with you

Ooh and everything about you

I can't live with you

No I just can't live I just can't live

I can't live with you

Yeah and I can't live without you

Through the madness through the tears

We've still got each other

For a million years - yeah

Ooh yeah

Yeah - I can't live without you - yeah yeah

I can't live without you

Yeah yeah oh oh oh

I can't live without you

I can't live without you

I can't live without you

Oh oh I can't live without you baby baby baby

Without you

I can't live without you

 

Don't Try So Hard

Words and music by Queen (John)

If you're searching out for something

Don't try so hard

If you're feeling kinda nothing

Don't try so hard

When your problems seem like mountains

You feel the need to find some answers

You can leave it for another day

Don't try so hard

But if you fall and take a tumble it won't be far

If you fail you mustn't grumble

Thank your lucky stars

Just savour every mouthful

And treasure every moment

When the storms are raging round you

Stay right where you are

Oh don't try so hard

Oh don't take it all to heart

It's only fools they make these rules

Don't try so hard

One day you'll be a sergeant major

Oh you'll be so proud

Screaming out your bloody orders

Hey but not too loud

Polish all your shiny buttons

Dress as lamb instead of mutton

But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd

Oh what a beautiful world

This is the life for me

Oh what a beautiful world

It's the simple life for me

Oh don't try so hard

Oh don't take it all to heart

It's only fools - they make these rules

Don't try so hard

Don't try so hard

Don't try so hard

These Are The Days Of Our Lives

Words and music by Queen (Roger)

 

Sometimes I get to feelin'

I was back in the old days - long ago

When we were kids when we were young

Thing seemed so perfect - you know

The days were endless we were crazy we were young

The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun

Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know

The rest of my life's been just a show

Those were the days of our lives

The bad things in life were so few

Those days are all gone now but one thing is true

When I look and I find I still love you

You can't turn back the clock you can't turn back the tide

Ain't that a shame

I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride

When life was just a game

No use in sitting and thinkin' on what you did

When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids

Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know

Better sit back and go with the flow

Cos these are the days of our lives

They've flown in the swiftness of time

These days are all gone now but some things remain

When I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives - yeah

The bad things in life were so few

Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true

When I look and I find

I still love you

I still love you

 

Delilah

Words and music by Queen (Freddie)

 

Delilah Delilah

Oh my oh my oh my you're irresistible

You make me smile when I'm just about to cry

You bring me hope you make me laugh - and I like it

You get away with murder so innocent

But when you throw a moody you're all claws and you bite

That's all right

Delilah Delilah

Oh my oh my oh my you're unpredictable

You make me so very happy

When you cuddle up and go to sleep beside me

And then you make me slightly mad

When you pee all over my Chippendale suite

Delilah Delilah

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

You take over my house and home

You even try to answer my telephone

Delilah you're the apple of my eye

Meeow meeow meeow

The Show Must Go On

Words and music by Queen (Brian)

Empty spaces - what are we waiting for

Abandoned places - I guess we know the score

On and on

Does anybody know what we are looking for

Another hero another mindless crime

Behind the curtain in the pantomime

Hold the line

Does anybody want to take it anymore

The show must go on

The show must go on

Inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens I'll leave it all to chance

Another heartache another failed romance

On and on

Does anybody know what we are living for

I guess I'm learning

I must be warmer now

I'll soon be turning round the corner now

Outside the dawn is breaking

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

The show must go on

The show must go on - yeah

Ooh inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

Yeah oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die

I can fly - my friends

The show must go on - yeah

The show must go on

I'll face it with a grin

I'm never giving in

On with the show

I'll top the bill

I'll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on

On with the

On with the show

The show must go on

 

Lost Opportunity

Words and music by Queen (Brian)

 

With the morning I face the sun

I lift my head and smile for everyone

Every afternoon you'll find me working on

I got my new shoes on

Got to be moving on

That's what they say

Every night I'm tossed

And I shake my fevered brow

Thinking of my lost opportunity

Yes every morning I face the sun

I get so positive with everyone

Every afternoon you'll find the cracks showing through

They know what I'm going through

Oh yes they do

Every evening finds me

The optimist behind me

On with my lost opportunity
