Song lyrics
[edit]All lyrics written by Freddie Mercury, except as noted
- Oh my love we've had
Our share of tears
Oh my friends we've had
Our hopes and fears
Oh my friend it's been
A long hard year
But now it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas.- Thank God It's Christmas, written by Brian May and Roger Taylor (1984)
- 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.- Keep Yourself Alive, written by Brian May
- Liar oh ev'rybody deceives me.
Liar why don't you leave me alone?
Liar I have sailed the seas
Liar from Mars to Mercury.
Liar I have drunk the wine.
Liar time after time.
Liar you're lying to me.
Liar you're lying to me.
Father please forgive me.
You know you'll never leave me.
- There's no living in my life anymore
The seas have gone dry and the rain stopped falling
Please don't you cry anymore
Can't you see?
Listen to the breeze, whisper to me please
Don't send me to the path of nevermore.
- Fear me you lords and lady preachers
I descend upon your Earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of Rhye.Can you hear me you peers and privy counsellors?
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust
I swear that you'll be mine
The seven seas of Rhye.

Insatiable an appetite.

Playful as a pussy cat

To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you.- Killer Queen
- Dislocate your spine if you don't sign he says
I'll have you seeing double (double)

Simply with those eyes, ooh ooh ooh
Synchronise your minds and see
The beast within him rise.

Where the beams of your lovelight chase
Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain
With the rain running down my face.- Now I'm Here, written by Brian May

Whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see.
Ooh, you make me live now honey

That my feelings are true
I really love you.

- Love of my life - you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life can't you see

Don't take it away from me, because you don't know
What it means to me.
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime.
- Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality.

Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
