I Cry For You (Love, Hope and Confusion)

Length 6:22.

I cry - I cry for you

Love me tender
Love me true
Love can always
See you through

I hope you're fine
I hope all's well (all's well)
Given time
Hope springs eternal
Who finds conclusions (finds conclusions)
With love, hope and confusion

I cry, I cry for you
I cry for you
I cry for you

Life has no fun anymore
Time is on the run for sure
No place to run anymore
Love, hope and confusion

I hope you're fine
I hope all's well (all's well)
Give 'em hell
Hope springs eternal
Who finds conclusions (finds conclusions)
With love, hope and confusion

Yeah, alright
I cry, I cry for you
I cry for you
I cry for you

I cry, I cry for you
I cry for you
I cry for you

I cry for you
I cry for you
I cry for you

Man On Fire

Length 6:02

I walk these streets each and every day
Trying to find some work just to earn my pay
Just to make some plans for you some day
But plans don't work and it's not that fine
When you got no money all you got is time
Don't it make you stop and wonder why

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town

I walk these streets each and every night
Feel like I'm playing my role but it fits too tight
Watch my life go by in black and white
When times are hard and times are rough
Then you better be made of sterner stuff
You'll find it's time to stop and wonder why

I'm smoking, I'm burning
I'm twisting and turning
But one thing I'm learning
It's the power of your love keeps me under their thumb
'Cos the beat of your heart is the beat of my drum
Don't it make you stop and wonder why

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
I wanna burn down this crazy town

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
I wanna burn down this crazy town

Strange Frontier

Length 8:30

We're out of luck, we're out of time
We're out of luck, we're out of line
Now we're on the borderline
We've really gone and done
This is a strange frontier

People say it could never happen here
But this is a strange frontier
We're out of luck, we're out of time
We're out of luck, we're out of line
Now we're on the borderline
We've really gone and done it this time
But this is a strange frontier

Into the shadows from out of the light
Into the darkness and into the night
We're off the tracks, we're off the lines
You and me seen better times
Now we're on the borderline
And I wish I wasn't here
People say it could never happen here
But this is a strange frontier

Freedom fighters come and go
Bloody righteous, and mentally slow
We're on the skids, we're off the lines
Trapped inside these dangerous times
Now we've reached the borderline
Can start to smell the fear
People say it could never happen here
But this is a strange frontier

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Had some good times, had some fun
Soon our problems could be none

We're on the skids, we're off the lines
We're out of luck, we're out of time
Now we're on the borderline
We've nearly gone and done it this time
People say it could never happen here
But this is a strange frontier

Freedom fighters (ah-ah-ah) come and go (ah-ah-ah)
Bloody righteous (ah-ah-ah) and mentally slow (ah-ah-ah)
We're out of work (ah-ah-ah) we're out of time (ah-ah-ah)
We're out of luck (ah-ah-ah) we're out of line
Now we're on the borderline (ah-ah-ah)
We've really gone and done it this time (ah-ah-ah)
People say it could never happen here
But this is a strange frontier

Take your children while you can
But there's nowhere you can run
No more tears and no more fun
Someday soon they'll drop the big one
No more dad and no more mum
This is a strange frontier

You had to kill the conversation
You always had the upper hand
Got caught in love and stepped in sinking sand (sand, sand)
You had to go and ruin all our plans

Packed your bags and you're leaving home
Got a one way ticket and you're all set to go
But we have one more day together, so

Love me like there's no tomorrow
Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it
This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over
But today just love me like there's no tomorrow

I guess we drift alone in separate ways
I don't have all that far to go
God knows, I've learnt to play the lonely man
I've never felt so low in all my life

We were born to be just losers
So I guess there's a limit on how far we go
But we only have one more day together, so (oooh, ooh, oooh, ooooh)

Love me like there's no tomorrow
Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it
This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over
But today just love me like there's no tomorrow

Tomorrow - who knows just what's in store for me

Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it

When my lady walks in the room
The lights come on to her sweet perfume
I didn't know the devils by her side
There I stood, I had nothing to hide

My love could teach the blind to see
My love's the wildest mystery
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know
Baby you're a liar
You're a liar

I wasn't watching for the danger signs
And I never read between the lines
She says 'c'mon boy can you do your thing' (your thing, your thing, your thing)
So I turned around still wondering

When my love dances she makes me cry
My love dances with me tonight
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know
Baby you're a liar, oh
You're a liar
A liar, hit it
But I'm still burning with desire

With the look of a panther
I got lost in the jungle
Now I can't help myself again
I can't help myself
Baby you're a liar
That's why I love you

I wasn't watching for the danger signs
And I never read between the lines
She says 'c'mon boy can you do your thing' (your thing, your thing, your thing)
So I turned around still wondering

My love could teach the blind to see
My love's the wildest mystery
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know

Baby you're a liar, oh yeah
You're a liar
A liar, oh yeah
You're a liar

Power To Love

But I didn't know where to start
So I went down to the doctor
Took a look in his black box

Feed on it, my one true desire

Now we got the power to love
We got the power
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star

Know what he said?
He said I'll take you on a journey
Across sea and over land
To see the death and the destruction
Brought about by our own hands

And all around the world

Feed on it my one true desire

Everybody Hurts Sometime

Length 3:39

Well everybody hurts sometimes, you know it
And everybody loves sometime - don't be afraid to show it
If you don't get a little hurt sometime
If you don't dig a little dirt sometimes
You ain't living at all

Love and affection is the sweetest thing
When love turns sour, it ain't a sin
It's a bitter pill but I tell you, turns to bitter sweet within
And it's on any street, everybody hurts sometime

Happiness is a young mans dream
But it don't come easy, no, you know what I mean
Gotta chase it down the street, right to the last scene
Run down that illusion, try to live your dream

'Cos everybody hurts sometime, you know it
And everybody loves sometime - don't be afraid to show it
If you don't get a little hurt sometime
If you don't dig a little dirt sometime
You ain't living at all

'Cos everybody hurts sometime, you know it
And everybody loves sometime - don't be afraid to show it, no
If you don't get a little hurt sometimes
If you don't dig a little dirt sometimes
You ain't living at all

Everybody hurts sometime

No More Fun

Length 4:16
Performed by Roger Taylor at The Cyberbarn, Cosford Mill, Surrey, England, on 24 September 1998

Roger: No More Fun

From the stairway to heaven to the laughing gnome
It's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll
We got no more, no more fun
No more fun

Age before beauty, pearls before swine
And whatever happened to the wild, wild times
From the Memphis God to the Liverpool boys
And the guitar kings made a lot of noise

No more, no more fun
No more fun
We got no more
N-n-n-n-no more fun

I said age before beauty pearls before swine
Whatever happened to the wild, wild times
No more fun

And they were dressing like hookers
They were dressing like queens
It had nothing to do with New Orleans
We got no more
No more fun
No
No more fun

Hey
It don't seem like fun and it ain't necessary
Never wanted to be no shorthand secretary
No more fun
And now they're punching their keyboards, kiss their machines
It ain't got much soul and it's squeaky clean
No more
No more fun

We got no more
N-n-n-n-no more fun
No more fun
No more fun
No more fun
No more fun
No more fun
No more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun

Old Friends

Length 2:58
Performed by Roger Taylor at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, England, on 15 September 1994

When the sun got big, and the night came down
We used to share a drink, and let the demons out
Let the good times rock - you made the bad times roll
We used to laugh a lot, you had a lot of soul

Old friends - in better times

And times were hard
And times were tough
We put our backs to the wall
You used to strut your stuff
With a head held high and a heart so big
One fist at the sky - and shake a leg

Old friends - in better times

(Old friends of mine)
Ooh-oooh
Even though, even though we miss you now
Look forward, don't look back
We'll get by somehow, somehow, ooh

So I raise my glass in a last goodbye
Sleep in peace old friend, for me you'll never die
The best thing I can say, after all this time
You were a real friend, of mine

Old friends - in better times

Too Much Love Will Kill You

Length 4:30
Performed by Brian May at The Palace Theater, Los Angeles, USA, on 6 April 1993

Brian: Before we get into this, I'd just like to introduce you to a very old friend and a fantastic keyboard player, Mr Spike Edney

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone for much too long

I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'Cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you - every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down

How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I have to lose

Oooh, too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you - every time

Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life
You'd sell your soul
But here it comes again

Too much love will kill you
In the end
In the end

Brian: Thank you, folks

Man On Fire

Length 4:39
Performed by The Cross at an unknown venue on the 1990 European Tour, most likely in Germany.

I walk these streets each and every day
Trying to find some work just to earn my pay
To make some plans for you some day
But times are hard and times are rough
You better be made of sterner stuff
Then you've got to stop and wonder why

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
I wanna burn down this crazy town

I walk these streets each and every night
Try to earn my pay just to make it right
Watch the world go by in black and white
Well times are hard and times are rough
You better be made of sterner stuff
I've got to stop and wonder why

I'm smoking, I'm burning
I'm twisting and turning
But one thing I'm learning
It's the power of your love keeps me under their thumb
The beat of your heart is the beat of my drum
Now I got to stop and wonder why

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Wanna burn down this crazy town

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Wanna burn down your crazy town

I'm on fire

Roger: Goodnight from The Cross. Goodnight

Radio Ga Ga

Length 6:02.
Performed by Roger Taylor with The SAS Band at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, England, on 19 February 2000

(Radio)

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
(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 (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 knew, oh
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
Our music changes through the years
(Radio)

Let's hope you'll 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 knew?
Oh, radio, 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
Radio (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 knew?
Oh, radio, someone still loves you

Loves you

There Must Be More To Life Than This

Duet with Michael Jackson, 1983.
Written by Freddie Mercury.

There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this
How do we cope in a world without love
Mending all those broken hearts
And tending to those crying faces

There must be more to life than living
A better way for us to survive
Why should it be just a case of black or white
There must be more to life than this

Why is this world so full of hate
People dying everywhere
And we destroy what we create
People fighting for their human rights
But we just go on saying c'est la vie
So this is life

There must be more to life than killing
There must be more than meets the eye
What good is life, if in the end we all must die
There must be more to life than this

There must be more to life than killing
There must be more to life than this
I live in hope for a world filled with love
Then we can all just live in peace

There must be more to life, much more to life
There must be more to life, more to life than this

Rehearsal Lyrics: (lyrics are sung by Michael Jackson but Freddie speaks the dialogue in red)
There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this
How do we cope in a world without love
Mending all those broken hearts
And tending to those crying faces

There must be more to life than killing (Freddie: that’s right )
A better way for us to survive (Freddie: adlib)
(Ad-libbed) in a world with our children
There must be more to life than this

Why is this world so full of hate
People dying everywhere
And we destroy what we create
People fighting for their human rights
But we’ll just go on saying c'est la vie
So this is life

There must be more to life than killing
There must be more than meets the eye
I live in hope for a world filled with love
Then we can all just live in peace

There must be more to life, much more to life
There must be more to life, more to life than this

Love Is The Hero

Billy Squier, 1986, Freddie on backing vocals.

Love is the hero
Soldier forever
Life below zero
Never say never
Never say never
Never say never, say never

There is a course in life, so all the teachers say
It calls you day and night, it takes your thoughts away
Under a frozen light, you face a long crusade
Where there's a cause you fight, where there's a cost you pay

Find an empty heart, you feel the passion play
It's when reactions start that you can look away
There's no wrong or right, there's just your point of view
And when you face the light then it will come to you

Love is the hero, soldier forever
Life below zero, never say never
Love is the hero, yeah

There is no sacrifice, there is no dead end street
There is no sound advice, only the watch you keep (never say never)
With every step you take, through every room of fear
With every move you make the song will pull you near

Turn your world around and it will come your way
Through your cold-chill nights and your hard earned days
When you face the light it may be hard to do
But when it's all too right then it will come to you

Love is the hero, soldier forever
Love is the hero, live to remember

No path is too steep, no distance too wide
No question too deep, no force can divide
Your fortune you seek, the road will unwind
You're coming to me, to search is to find
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And when you start to fall into that frozen space
And when you reach the wall and there's no sunny place
And when it all comes down you make it anyhow
Any way

Love is the hero, soldier forever
Life below zero, never say never, never, never
Love is the hero, love is the hero, yeah
March on forever
Love is the hero, yeah, yeah, live to remember, wooh, yeah
Love is the hero, love is the hero
Love is forever, yeah, yeah, yeah
Love is the hero, never say never, never

Ooh, yeah
Oooh
Love is the hero
Never
Love is the hero
