"A Kind Of Magic" : Written by Roger Taylor, and taken from the album of the
same name, it was released in the US on June 4th 1986 and was produced
by Queen and David Richards. The song was comissioned by director
Russell Mulchay to provide the score for his feature film "Highlander".
The track was a major hit throughout the world, reaching number three in
Britain, but dominating the charts at number one in no less than 35
countries. Mulchay himself directed the video for the single using many
special effects and computer animation.


"Bohemian Rhapsody" : Written by Freddie Mercury, taken from the
American top five album "A Night At The Opera". Produced by Roy Thomas
Baker and Queen. The release of Freddie's 5 minute 55 second magnum opus
signalled the band's first entry into the American top ten singles
chart. Critical acclaim went hand in hand with press hostility towards
these "Pompous British Glam Rockers", as the TV stations coast to coast
aired the band's pioneering promotional video, but the fans knew what
they liked and radio airplay was constant, without the track ever being
edited.


"Under Pressure" : Queen and David Bowie, released in the US on October 27th
1981 and taken from the album "Hot Space", produced by Queen and David
Bowie, the song was the result of an impromptu recording session, at
Mountain Studios in Montreux and marked the band's first collaboration
with another recording artist. It was a huge success throughout Europe,
and gave Queen their second UK number one single; it was also number one
in Argentina. It was included on some countries's "Greatest Hits 1"
album and in 1990 the bass and piano featured again on Vanilla Ice's
number one single Ice Ice Baby.


"Hammer To Fall" : Written by Brian May, produced by Queen and Mack this
track was released as a single in the US on October 12th 1984. The
fourth and final single from "The Works", "Hammer To Fall" featured Quenn
in their heaviest rock guise, different sleeves were used to package the
record, and the live picture sleeve is now a collectors item. The video
was filmed in Brussels during the band's European tour, and the single
gave the band a European wide top twenty hit, peaking at 13 in the UK.
The track was featured later in the film "Highlander".


"Stone Cold Crazy" : Written by Brian May, Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and
John Deacon, taken from the album "Sheer Heart Attack". Produced by Roy
Thomas Baker and Queen. Although never released as a single, this was
the first track on which all four band members collaborated. It was a
popular track during live shows, with the innovative use of strobe
lights. In 1991 it was covered by USA heavy metal band Metallica.


"One Year Of Love" : Written by John Deacon, taken from the album "A Kind Of
magic". Produced by Queen and Mack. This gentle ballad was only
released as a single in the one or two European countries, and
Australia. The poignant song was written for the Russell Mulchay film
"Highlander".


"Radio Ga Ga" : Written by Roger Taylor for "The Works" album, their
first album to be recorded in Los Angeles. Released in the US on
February 7th 1984, produced by Queen and Mack. The track was inspired by
"MTV", and itself inspired a video based on Fritz Lang's famous silent
movie "Metropolis", Queen purchased parts of that film from German
Government to use in the video. The track was number sixteen in the US
chart, and reached number one in 19 different countries, it was the first
to feature the band's personal catalogue number in the UK.


"I'm Going Slightly Mad" : Written by Queen and taken from the
"Innuendo" album. Released in the UK on March 4th 1991, it was produced
by Queen and David Richards. A complete change of mood and pace for this
second single from "Innuendo", typical Queen eccentricity with tongues
planted very irmly in cheeck. The monochrome video features the band
interacting with live penguins and a gorilla. The song reached 22 in the
UK chart and climbed into the top twenty all over Europe, whilst settling
at number one in far flung Hong Kong.


"I Want It All" : Written by Queen and taken from the album "The Miracle".
Released in the US on May 10th 1989 and produced by Queen and David
Richards. After a two year hiatus from the European chats, Queen returned
with a classic Rock track and a perforamce video. The single was a huge
hit all over Europe, peaking at number three in the UK but reaching
number one in many other European Territories. The song has been heard
as a rallying song for black Africa youths.


"Tie Your Mother Down" : Written by Brian May, taken from Queen's second
American top ten album, "A Day At The Races". Produced by Queen. It
was the opening track on the band's 1977 American tour and the video for
it was filmed in Nassau during that tour. It entered the US charts at
just 49, but was, again, popular on radio request shows.


"The Miracle" : Written by Queen and taken from the album of the same name.
Released in the UK on November 27th 1989 and produced by Queen and David
Richards. It was the first time that EMI had ever released five singles
from a Queen album. The single peaked at 21 in the UK and made top forty
in Europe. The video featured four young Queen 'lookalikes' who performed
a perfectly executed mini Queen stage show to the track - leaving the
'real Queen' to make a mere cameo appearance during the finale.


"These Are The Days Of Our Lives" : Written by Queen, produced by Queen and
David Richards, taken fro the album 'Innuendo'. Released initially as a
single in America, then as a double A side Bohemian Rhapsody in the UK,
where it remained at number one for five weeks. The video, filmed on May
30th 1991, proved to be Freddie Mercury's last performance on film.


"One Vision" : Written by Queen and released on November 4th 1985, taken
from their "A Kind Of Magic" album. Produced by Queen and Mack, the song was
recorded after the band's triumphant appearance at Live Aid and climbed
into the top ten in most European countries, reaching number seven in the
UK. The video marked the first collabortation between Queen and Rudi
Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher, the Austrian director and producer team who
have been responsible for many Queen Film's productions since. The song
featured in the film "Iron Eagle".


"Keep Yourself Alive" : Written by Brian May, taken from the album "Queen".
Produced by John Anthony, Roy Thomas Baker and Queen. Queen's first
worldwide single release in 1973, it attracted a lot of media attention
and many radio airplay requests, but it had no chart success. It was
re-released in the USA in 1975 to capitalize on the band's growing
popularity.


"Headlong" : Written by Queen, taken from the album "Innuendo" and
released on May 13th 1991. Produced by Queen and David Richards. A
characteristically fast paced Queen rocker, it was the first release in
the USA for the band's new label Hollywood Records. The performance
video to accompany the track was shot in the London studio where much of
the album had been recorded. It climbed to 14 in the UK chart and was a
big seller throughout the rest of Europe.


"Who Wants To Live Forever" : Written by Brian May, from the "A Kind Of
Magic" album, and released in the UL on September 15th 1986. Produced by
Queen and David Richards with Orchestral arrangements by Michael Kamen.
This poignant ballad was composed in the back of a car after the band had
first viewed the rough cut of the film "Highlander" and became one of the
central themes of the movie. The video for the single featured the full
National Philharmonic Orchestra, forty choirboys and two thousand
candles. It gave Queen yet another top thirty hit in Europe, climbing to
24 in the UK.


"The Show Must Go On" : Written by Queen, taken from the 'Innuendo' album,
released October 1991 as a forerunner to "Greatest Hits II". It
signalled the band's fortieth British single release. Combining
everything inherently Queen. It is a perfect foil for a video depicting
the best of Queen on film during the 80's.


"A Kind Of Magic" (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,
It's a challenging the doors of time,
It's a kind of magic,
The waiting seems eternity,
The day will dawn of sanity,
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,
Tere can only be one,
This life that lasts a thousand years,
Will soon be gone,
Magic - it's a kind of magic,
It's a kind of magic,
Magic, magic, magic, magic,
It's magic,
It's a kind of magic.


"Bohemian Rhapsody" (Mercury)
-------------------
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, Little high, little low,
Any way 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, ooh, 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, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh, 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 fright'ning me.
(Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico. 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.) Ah.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(Oh 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/Bowie)
----------------
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
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
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" (May) (single mix)
----------------
Here we stand and here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight.

CHORUS
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 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.

CHORUS
Tow the 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 it's all the same
Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane
Baby now your struggle's all 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

CHORUS
What the hell are 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 Fall.


"Stone Cold Crazy" (May, Mercury, Taylor, Deacon)
------------------
Sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning I was dreaming
I was Al Capone
There's a rumour going round, gotta clear outa town
I'm smelling like a dry fish bone
Here come the Law, gonna break down the door, gonna carry me
away once more
Never, never, never get it any more
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 come the deputy, he's gonna come and getta me
I gotta get me get up and run
They got the sirens loose
I ran outa 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" (Deacon)
------------------
Just one year of love
Is better than 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 hurtsm
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 - yeah.
And all I can do is surrender.


"Radio Ga Ga" (Taylor)
-------------
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
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.

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?
Radio, someone still loves you!


"I'm Going Slightly Mad" (Queen)
------------------------
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 at 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
Unravelling fast its 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!


"I Want It All" (Queen) (single mix)
---------------
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now.

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,
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 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 future for the dreams 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,

I'm a man with a one track mind,
So much to do in one life time (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,
etc.

"The Miracle" (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, Sunday mornings with a cup of tea,
Super powers always fighting,
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling,

The 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 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 can all be friends,
repeat ........


"These Are The Days Of Our Lives" (Queen)
---------------------------------
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 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.

"Keep Yourself Alive" (May)
---------------------
I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
How I had to keep on trying
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 super star
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
Still be where I started

Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money honey
You'll survive

Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied
Do you think you're better ev'ry day
No I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive mm
You take your time and take your 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 a 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 will survive

Keep you satisfied
Keep you satisfied


"Headlong" (Queen)
----------
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
There's 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
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 a raging gets 'em more than half crazy
They start freaking everyway 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 the window
Better hold on tight - you're rushin' [... etc.]


"Who Wants To Live Forever" (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 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?


"The Show Must Go On" (Queen)
---------------------
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
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
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up 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...
