A Kind of Magic

Roger Taylor 4:23

It's a kind of magic (twice)
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
It's challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn on 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 gone
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing 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
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be, will soon be, will soon be gone
This is a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone (gone)
Magic - It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic, magic, magic, magic
It's magic (ha ha ha ha, it's magic)
It's a kind of magic

Bohemian Rhapsody

Freddie Mercury 5:59

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,
A little high,little low,
Anyway 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 ooo,
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 everybody-I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
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 frightening me
Galileo,Galileo,
Galileo Galileo
Galileo figaro-Magnifico
But 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
No,no,no,no,no,no,no
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....
 

Under Pressure

Queen & David Bowie 4:02

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
That's OK
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
Chippin around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
People on streets (twice)
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

Hammer to Fall

Brian May 4:28

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, yeah
Oh every 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
Tow your line and play their game
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 is all the same
Lock your door but rain is pouring through your window pane
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 and 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 you're waiting for the hammer to hammer to fall
It's going to fall
Yeah, hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time

Stone Cold Crazy

Queen 2:12

Sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning I was
dreaming I was Al Capone
There's a rumor going round gotta clear outta town
I'm smelling like a dry fish bone
Here come the law going to break down the door gonna
carry me away once more
Never, never, never get it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
Crazy, Stone cold crazy you know
Rainy afternoon I gotta blow a typhoon and I'm playing
on my slide trombone
Anymore, anymore, cannot take it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
Crazy, stone cold crazy you know
Walking down the street, shooting people that I meet
with my rubber tommy water gun
Here comes the deputy gonna come and getta me
I gotta get me get up and run
They got the sirens loose, I ran right outta juice
They're gonna put me in a cell, if I can't go to heaven
will they let me go to hell
Crazy, stone cold crazy you know

One Year of Love

John Deacon 4:26

Just one year of love
Is better that a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you
I'm falling apart all around you - yeah
My heart cries out to your heart
I'm lonely but you can save me
My hand reaches out for your hand
I'm cold but you light the fire in me
My lips search for your lips
I'm hungry for your touch
There's so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
To the moment just surrender
And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much
Oooh yes it hurts
And pain is so close to pleasure
And all I can do is surrender to your love
Just surrender to your love
Just one year of love
Is better that a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you
I'm falling apart all around you
And all I can do is surrender

Radio Ga Ga

Roger Taylor 5:49

I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything 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 - 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!
Radi Ga Ga (3 times)
You had your time - you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio – Radio

I'm Going Slightly Mad

Queen 4:22

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
This kettle is boiling over
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!
I'm knitting with only one needle
Unraveling 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 - happened - happened
It finally happened - oh yes
It finally happened - I'm slightly mad
Just very slightly mad
And there you have it!

I Want It All

Queen 4:40

Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out
It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say
Gotta find me a future, move out of my way
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
Listen all you people, come gather round
I gotta get me a new game plan, gotta shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is mine
People do you hear me, just give me the sign
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the futures for the dreams of youths
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
I'm a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one lifetime (people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all, yes I'm living it all
And I'm giving it all, and I'm giving it all
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future, hear the cry of youth
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
And I want it...Now

Tie Your Mother Down

Brian May 3:44

Get your party gown and get your pigtail down
And get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right I got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight
My little school babe
Your momma says you don't
And your daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosin' around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
'You're such a dirty louse go get outa my house'
That's all I ever get from your family ties
In fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Snipin' and grousin'
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Take your little brother swimmin'
With a brick that's all right
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine
Your momma and your daddy
Gonna plague me till I die
I can't understand it
'Cause I'm a peace lovin' guy
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Get that big big big big big big
Daddy out the door
Tie your mother down yeah
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
All your love tonight

The Miracle

Queen 5:02

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 (4 times)
The one thing we're all waiting for is peace on earth and 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 andfood 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, Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting, but Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling
It's a miracle (3 times)
The wonders of this world go on
It's a miracle (4 times)
The one thing we're all waiting for is peace on earth and 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 canall be friends....

These Are The Days Of Our Lives

Queen 4:15

Sometimes I get to feelin
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things 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 and 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
Cause 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

One Vision

Queen 5:08

Hey!
One man, one goal, one mission
One heart, one soul, just one solution
One flash, of light, yeah one God one vision
One flesh one bone, one true religion
One voice, one hope, one real decision
Wowowowowowo gimmie one vision, yeah
No wrong, no right
I'm gonna tell you there's no black and no white
No blood, no stain
All we need is one world wide vision
One flesh one bone, one true religion
One race, one hope, one real decision
Wowowowowo oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
I had a dream, when I was young
A dream of sweet illusion
A glimpse of hope and unity
And visions of one sweet union
But a cold wind blows
And a dark rain falls
And in my heart it shows
Look what they've done to my dream
One Vision
So give me your hands
Give me your hearts
I'm ready
There's only one direction
One world, one nation
Yeah one vision
No hate, no fight
Just excitation
All through the night
It's a celebration
Wowowowowowo yeah
One flesh one bone, one true religion
One voice, one hope, one real decision
Gimmie one night
Gimmie one hope
Just gimmie
One man, one man
One bar, one night
One day, hey hey
Just gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie
Fried chicken

Keep Yourself Alive

Brian May 3:47

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

Headlong

Queen 4:39

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 nothing you can do about it
There's nothing you can do no there's nothing you can do about it
No there's nothing you can, nothing you can, nothing 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 nothing you can do about it
- Yeah!
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 doo
Now you got soup in the laundry bag
Now you've got strings, you're gonna lose your rag
You're getting 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 nothing you can nothing you can nothing you can do about it
When a red hot man meets a white hot lady
Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy doo
Soon the fire starts a raging get's em more than half crazy
Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy doo
Now they start freakin everywhere you turn
You can't start walking cause your feet got burned
It ain't no time to figure wrong from right
Cause reasons out the window
Better hold on tight, your rushing headlong
Headlong, out of control, yeah
You think your so strong, but there ain't no stoppin
And there's nothin you, nothin you, nothin you can do about it at all
And your 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
Ooooooooh, ha ha!
Headlong...

Who Wants to Live Forever 

Brian May 5:13

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 (twice)
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 (twice)
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 ours today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Forever is ours today
Who waits forever anyway?

The Show Must Go On

Queen 4:32

Empty spaces - what are we living 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, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup 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
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking but my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
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...
