A Kind Of Magic
Words and music by Roger Taylor
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic
One dream one soul one prize one goal
One golden glance of what should be
It's a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity
Is this a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm here in secret harmonies
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
The rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be will soon be
Will soon be done
This is a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done-done
Magic - it's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic magic magic magic
Ha ha ha it's magic
It's a
kind of magic
Under Pressure
Words and music by Queen and David
Bowie (Roger actually)
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
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
That's o-kay!
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets
Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Chippin' around
Kick my brains round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours
People on streets
People on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher higher
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 love love 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 give love give
love?
Give love give love give love give love
give love?
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For 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
Radio Ga Ga
Words and music by Roger Taylor
Radio I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And ev'rything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh - you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio someone still loves you
We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Someone still loves you
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga

You had your time you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

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
It's A Hard Life
Words and music by Freddie Mercury
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a
broken heart
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone
You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
And now you say it's over and I'm
falling apart
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others
hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the
start
When you're in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall
from the skies
And I'm waiting for love
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others
hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the
start
When you're in love
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in
ev'ry way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did
it for love
Yes I did
it for love - for love - oh I did it for love
Breakthru
Words and music by Queen (Roger)
When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow I have to make this final
breakthrough
Now
I wake up
Feel just fine
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
'Cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something you're
touching me
I'm under your thumb under your spell
can't you see
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough - oh
yeah
Breakthrough these barriers of pain
Breakthrough to the sunshine from the
rain
Make my feelings known towards you
Turn my heart inside and out for you now
Somehow I have to make this final
breakthrough
Now!
Your smile speaks books to me
I break up
With each and every one of your looks at
me
Honey you're starting something deep
inside of me
Honey you're sparking something this
fire in me
I'm outta control
I wanna rush headlong into this ecstasy
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough
Oh yeah
Breakthrough breakthrough
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough
Breakthrough
Who Wants To Live Forever
Words and music by Brian May
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our
dreams yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set
aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits
forever anyway?
Headlong
Words and music by Queen (Brian)
And you're rushing headlong you've got a

Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy do
She used to be a woman with a hot dog

Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy do
Now you've got soup in the laundry bag
Now you've got strings you're gonna lose

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

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

The Miracle
Words and music by Queen
Every drop of rain that falls in Sahara
Desert says it all
It's a miracle
All God's creations great and small
The Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal
That's a miracle
Test tube babies being born
Mothers,fathers dead and gone
It's a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
The wonders of this world go on
The hanging Gardens of Babylon
Captain Cook and Cain and Able
Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a
miracle
It's a miracle
The one thing we're all waiting for is
peace on earth - an end to war
It's a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle we're all waiting for today
If every leaf on every tree could tell a
story that would be a miracle
If every child on every street had
clothes to wear and food to eat
That's a miracle
If all God's people could be free to
live in perfect harmony
It's a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
Open hearts and surgery
(wonders of this world go on)
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a
miracle
(wonders of this world go on)
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a
miracle
It's a miracle
The one thing (the one thing) we're all
waiting for (we're all waiting for)
Is peace on earth (peace on earth) and
an end to war (an end to war)
It's a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle peace on earth and end to
war today
That time
will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
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

Incredible how you can see right through
me
Freddie Mercury
When you hear a sound that you just

bed
Don't turn around when you hear me tread

Incredible how you can see right through

Brian May Brian May
Now I'm on your track and I'm in your

Hammer To Fall
Words and music by Brian May
Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight yeah
You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the
call
It comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting
For the hammer to fall
Oh ev'ry night and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face the Western Way
Build your muscles as your body decays
yeah
Toe your line and play their game yeah
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the hammer to
fall
Rich or poor or famous
For your truth it's all the same (oh no
oh no)
Lock your door the rain is pouring
Through your window pane (oh no)
Baby now your struggle's all in vain
For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and
louder louder
What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
While your waiting for the hammer to
hammer to fall
It's gonna fall
Hammer..you know..hammer to fall
Waiting for the hammer to fall now baby
While you're waiting for the hammer to
fall
Give it to
me one more time

Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the

Taking all the cash and leaving you with
the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctor's on strike what you need is a
rest
It's not easy love but you've got
friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give
you care and attention
Friends will be friends

hope is lost
Hold out your hands cos friends will be
friends right till the end
Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your
lover
Only a phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody
stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life without him

Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give

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
