Keep Yourself AliveWords and music by Brian May

I was told a million times

Of all the troubles in my way

Tried to grow a little wiser

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 superstar

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

Same as when I started

Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive

It'll take you all your time and a money

Honey you'll survive

Keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive

It'll take you all your time and a money

To keep me satisfied

Do you think you're better ev'ry day?

No I think I'm two steps nearer to my grave

Keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive mm

You take your time and take more 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 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'll survive

Keep you satisfied

Keep you satisfied

Doing All RightWords and music by Brian May and Tim Staffell

Yesterday my life was in ruin

Now today I know what I'm doing

Got a feeling I should be doing all right

Doing all right

Where will I be this time tomorrow?

Jumped in joy or sinking in sorrow

Anyway I should be doing all right

Doing all right

Should be waiting for the sun

Looking round to find the words to say

Should be waiting for the skies to clear

There ain't time in all the world

Should be waiting for the sun

And anyway I've got to hide away

Yesterday my life was in ruin

Now today God knows what I'm doing

Anyway I should be doing all right

Doing all right

Doing all right

Great King RatWords and music by Freddie Mercury

Great King Rat died today

Born on the twenty first of May

Died syphilis forty four on his birthday

Every second word he swore

Yes he was the son of a whore

Always wanted by the law

Wouldn't you like to know?

Wouldn't you like to know people?

Great King Rat was a dirty old man

And a dirty old man was he

Now what did I tell you

Would you like to see?

Now hear

Where will I be tomorrow?

Will I beg will I borrow?

I don't care I don't care anyway

Come on come on the time is right

This man is evil and that is right

I told you ah yes I told you

And that's no lie oh no no no

Wouldn't you like to know?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Great King Rat was a dirty old man

And a dirty old man was he

How what did I tell you?

Would you like to see?

Show me

Wouldn't you like to know?

Wouldn't you like to know people?

Great King Rat was a dirty old man

And a dirty old man was he

Now what did I tell you

Would you like to see?

Now listen all you people

Put out the good and keep the bad

Don't believe all you read in the Bible

You sinners get in line

Saints you leave far behind

Very soon you're gonna be his disciple

Don't listen to what mama says

Not a word not a word mama says

Or else you'll find yourself being the rival

The great Lord before he died

Knelt sinners by his side

And said you're going to realise tomorrow

No I'm not gonna tell you

What you already know

'Cause time and time again

The old man said it all a long time ago

Come come on the time is right

This evil man will fight

I told you once before

Wouldn't you like to know?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Just like I said before

Great King Rat was a dirty old man

And a dirty old man was he

The last time I tell you

Would you like you see?

My Fairy KingWords and music by Freddie Mercury

In the land where horses born with eagle wings

And honey bees have lost their stings

There's singing forever

Lions den with fallow deer

And rivers made from wines so clear

Flow on and on forever

Dragons fly like sparrows thru' the air

And baby lambs where Samson dares

To go on on on on on on

My fairy king can see things

He rules the air and turns the tides

That are not there for you and me

Ooh yeah he guides the winds

My fairy king can do right and nothing wrong

Then came man to savage in the night

To run like thieves and to kill like knives

To take away the power from the magic hand

To bring about the ruin of the promised land

They turn the milk into sour

Like the blue in the blood of my veins

Why can't you see it

Fire burnin' in hell with the cry of screaming rain

Son of heaven set me free and let me go

Sea turn dry no salt from sand

Seasons fly no helping hand

Teeth don't shine like pearls for poor man's eyes

Someone someone just drained the colour from my wings

Broken my fairy circle ring

And shamed the king in all his pride

Changed the wings and wronged the tides

Mother mercury mercury

Look what they've done to me

I cannot run I cannot hide

LiarWords and music by Freddie Mercury

The Night Comes DownWords and music by Brian May

When I was young it came to me

And I could see the sun breakin'

Lucy was high and so was I dazzling

Holding the world inside

Once I believed in ev'ryone

Ev'ryone and anyone can see

Oh oh the night comes down

And I get afraid of losing my way

Oh oh the night comes down

Oooh and it's dark again

Once I could laugh with ev'ryone

Once I could see the good in me

The black and the white distinctively colouring

Holding the world inside

Now all the world is grey to me

Nobody can see you gotta believe it

Oh oh the night comes down

And I get afraid of losing my way

Oh oh the night comes down

Oooh and it's dark again

And it's dark again

And it's dark again

Modern Times Rock'n'RollWords and music by Roger Taylor

Had to make do with a worn out rock and roll scene

The old bop is gettin' tired need a rest

Well you know what I mean

Fifty eight that was great

But it's over now and that's all

Somethin' harder's coming up

Gonna really knock a hole in the wall

Gonna hit ya grab you hard

Make you feel ten feet tall

Well I hope that big new baby's gonna come along soon

You don't know it could happen any ol' rainy afternoon

With the temp'rature down

And the juke box blowin' no fuse

And my musical life's feelin'

Like a long Sunday School cruise

And you know there's one thing

Every single body could use

Yeah listen to me baby

Let me tell you what it's all about

Modern times rock and roll

Modern times rock and roll

Get your high heeled guitar boots and some groovy clothes

Get a hair piece on your chest

And a ring through your nose

Find a nice little man who says

He's gonna make you a real big star

Stars in your eyes ants in your pants

Think you should go far

Everybody in this bum sucking world's

Gonna know just who you are

Look out

Modern times rock and roll

Son And DaughterWords and music by Brian May

I want you

Tried to be a son and daughter rolled into one

You said you'd equal any man for having your fun

Now didn't you feel surprised to find

The cap just didn't fit

The world expects a man

To buckle down and to shovel shit

What'll you do for loving

When it's only just begun?

I want you to be a woman

Tried to be a teacher and a fisher of men

An equal people preacher

Will you lead us all the same?

Well I travelled all round the world

A brand new word for day

Watching the time mustn't linger behind

Pardon me I have to get away

What'll you think of heaven

If it's back from where you came?

I want you to be a woman

I want you to be a woman yeah

JesusWords and music by Freddie Mercury

And then I saw Him in the crowd

A lot of people had gathered round Him

The beggars shouted the lepers called Him

The old man said nothing

He just stared about him

All going down to see the Lord Jesus

All going down to see the Lord Jesus

All going down

Then came a man before His feet he fell

Unclean said the leper and rang his bell

Felt the palm of a hand touch his head

Go now go now you're a new man instead

All going down to see the Lord Jesus

All going down to see the Lord Jesus

All going down

It all began with the three wise men

Followed a star took them to Bethlehem

And made it heard throughout the land

Born was a leader of man

All going down to see the Lord Jesus

All going down to see the Lord Jesus

All going down

It all began with the three wise men

Followed a star took them to Bethlehem

And made it heard throughout the land

Born was a leader of man

All going down to see the Lord Jesus

All going down to see the Lord Jesus

All going down
