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

Radio ga ga

Radio

You had your time you had the power

You've yet to have your finest hour

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

 

Man On The Prowl

Words and music by Freddie Mercury

 

I'm gonna take a little walk on the wild side

I'm gonna loosen up and get me some gas

I'm gonna get me some action

Go crazy driving is the fast lane

My baby left me alone

She done me dirty and I'm feeling so lonely

So come home come home

If you don't you're gonna break my heart

Man on the prowl

You'd better watch out

I'm on the loose and I'm looking for trouble

So look out (yeah yeah) - look out (yeah yeah)

I'm a man on the prowl

I don't wanna be a rock'n'roll steady

I just wanna be low down trash

I wanna go to the movies

All I wanna do is sit on my ass

So honey come home (come home come home)

Don't leave me when I'm feeling so lonely

Come home (yeah yeah) - come home (yeah yeah)

If you don't you're gonna break my heart

Man on the prowl

You'd better watch out

I'm on the loose and I'm looking for trouble

So look out (yeah yeah) - look out (yeah yeah)

Cos I'm a man on the prowl

Well I keep dreaming about my baby

But it ain't gonna get me nowhere

I'm gonna teach my baby dancin'

But I ain't no Fred Astaire

So baby look out - I'm a man on the prowl

Look out - man on the prowl - yeah!

Baby baby baby look out - man on the prowl

So baby come home

I'm on the loose and I'm looking for trouble

Baby come home - oh yeah!

'Cos I'm a man on the prowl

So honey come home - come home

'Cos I'm a man on the prowl - yeah!

Man on the prowl

 

Machines (or `back to humans')

Words and music by Brian May and Roger Taylor

 

Machines...

It's a machines world

Don't tell me I ain't got no soul

When the machines take over

It ain't no place for rock and roll

They tell me I don't care

But deep inside I'm just a man

They freeze me they burn me

They squeeze me they stress me

With smoke blackened pistons of steel they compress me

But no one but no one but no one can wrest me away

Back to humans

We have no disease no trouble of mind

No thank you or please no regard for the time

We never cry we never retreat

We have no conception of love or defeat

What's that machine noise?

It's bytes and megachips for tea

It's that machine boys

With random access memory

Never worry never mind

Not for money not for gold

Its software is hardware

Its heartbeat is time-share

Its midwife's a disc drive

Its sex life is quantised

It's self-perpetuating a parahumanoidarianised

Back to humans

Back to humans

Back to machines

Machines...

Living in a new world

Thinking in the past

Living in a new world

How you gonna last?

Machine world

Back to humans

It's a machines world

Thinking in the past (back to humans)

Living in a new world

How you gonna last?

Machine world

It's a machine's world

Back to humans

Living in a new world

How you gonna last?

Machine world

It's a machine's world

 

I Want To Break Free

Words and music by John Deacon

When I walk out that door

Oh how I want to be free baby

Oh how I want to be free

Keep Passing The Open Windows

Words and music by Freddie Mercury

 

This is the only life for me

Surround myself around my own fantasy

You just gotta be strong and believe in yourself

Forget all the sadness 'cause love is all you need

Love is all you need

Do you know what it's like to be alone in this world

When you're down and out on your luck and you're a failure?

Wake up screaming in the middle of the night

You think it's all been a waste of time

It's been a bad year

You start believing ev'rything's gonna be alright

Next minute you're down and you're flat on your back

A brand new day is beginning

Get that sunny feeling and you're on your way

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

Do you know how it feels when you don't have a friend

Without a job and no money to spend?

You're a stranger

All you think about is suicide

One of these days you're gonna lose the fight

You'd better keep out of danger - yeah!

That same old feeling just keeps burning deep inside

Keep telling yourself it's gonna be the end

Oh get yourself together

Things are looking better everyday

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

This is the only life for me

Surround myself around my own fantasy

You just gotta be strong and believe in yourself

Forget all the sadness 'cause love is all you need

Love is all you need

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

You just gotta be strong and believe in yourself

Forget all the sadness 'cause love is all you need - yeah

Love is all you need

Baby - love is all you need

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

Just keep passing the open windows...

 

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

 

Is This The World We Created

Words and music by Freddie Mercury and Brian May

 

Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed

Take a look at all the suffering we breed

So many lonely faces scattered all around

Searching for what they need

Is this the world we created?

What did we do it for?

Is this the world we invaded

Against the law?

So it seems in the end

Is this what we're all living for today?

The world that we created

You know that every day a helpless child is born

Who needs some loving care inside a happy home

Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne

Waiting for life to go by

Is this the world we created?

We made it on our own

Is this the world we devastated

Right to the bone?

If there's a God in the sky looking down

What can he think of what we've done

To the world that He created?
