Greatest Hits 1981 =============

"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

"Another One Bites The Dust" (Deacon) ----------------------------

Steve walks warily down the street, with the brim pulled way down low Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, machine guns ready to go Are you ready, Are you ready for this Are you hanging on the edge of your seat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone, and another one gone Another one bites the dust Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along, without you, when you're gone You took me for everything that I had, and kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied How long can you stand the heat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat

Chorus

Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man And bring him to the ground You can beat him You can cheat him you can treat him bad and leave him When he's down But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you I'm standing on my own two feet Out of the doorway the bullets rip repeating the sound of the beat

"Killer Queen" (Mercury) --------------

She keeps Moet et Chandon In her pretty cabinet 'Let them eat cake' she says Just like Marie Antoinette A built-in remedy For Kruschev and Kennedy At anytime an invitation You can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes Well versed in etiquette Extraordinarily nice

[CHORUS:] She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime

Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try?

To avoid complications She never kept the same address In conversation She spoke just like a baroness Met a man from China Went down to Geisha Minah Then again incidentally If you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris For cars she couldn't care less Fastidious and precise

[CHORUS]

Drop of a hat she's as willing as Playful as a pussy cat Then momentarily out of action Temporarily out of gas To absolutely drive you wild, wild She's all out to get you

[CHORUS]

Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? You wanna try

"Fat Bottomed Girls" (May) (single mix) --------------------

Are you gonna take me home tonight? Ah down beside that red fire light Are you gonna let it all hang out? Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time I feel alive and the world it's turning inside out Yeah! I'm floating around in ecstasy So don't stop me now don't stop me 'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time

"Save Me" (May) ---------

It started off so well They said we made a perfect pair I clothed myself in your glory and your love How I loved you, How I cried..... The years of care and loyalty Were nothing but a sham it seems The years belie we lived a lie "I'll love you 'til I die"

Save me Save me Save me I can't face this life alone Save me Save me Oh... I'm naked and I'm far from home

The slate will soon be clean I'll erase the memories, To start again with somebody new Was it all wasted All that love?..... I hang my head and I advertise A soul for sale or rent I have no heart, I'm cold inside I have no real intent

Save me Save me Save me I can't face this life alone Save me Save me Oh... I'm naked and I'm far from home

Each night I cry, I still believe the lie I'll love you 'til I die

"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (Mercury) --------------------------------

This thing called love I just can't handle it this thing called love I must get round to it I ain't ready Crazy little thing called love This (This Thing) called love (Called Love) It cries (Like a baby) In a cradle all night It swings (Woo Woo) It jives (Woo Woo) It shakes all over like a jelly fish, I kinda like it Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby She knows how to Rock n' roll She drives me crazy She gives me hot and cold fever Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool relax, get hip Get on my track's Take a back seat, hitch-hike And take a long ride on my motor bike Until I'm ready Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool relax, get hip Get on my track's Take a back seat, hitch-hike And take a long ride on my motor bike Until I'm ready (Ready Freddie) Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can't handle it this thing called love I must get round to it I ain't ready Crazy little thing called love

"Somebody To Love" (Mercury) ------------------

Can anybody find me somebody to love? Each morning I get up I die a little Can barely stand on my feet Take a look in the mirror and cry Lord what you're doing to me I have spent all my years in believing you But I just can't get no relief, Lord! Somebody, somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life I work till I ache my bones At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own - I get down on my knees And I start to pray Till the tears run down from my eyes Lord - somebody - somebody Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Everyday - I try and I try and I try - But everybody wants to put me down They say I'm goin' crazy They say I got a lot of water in my brain Got no common sense I got nobody left to believe Yeah - yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord Somebody - somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm I just keep losing my beat I'm ok, I'm alright Ain't gonna face no defeat I just gotta get out of this prison cell Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Gospel Choir - Roger, Brian & Freddie

"Now I'm Here" (May) --------------

Here I stand Look around around around But you won't see me

Now I'm here, Now I'm there, I'm just a

Just a new man Yes you made me live again

A baby I was when you took my hand And the light of the night burned bright And the people all stared didn't understand But you knew my name on sight

Whatever came of you and me America's new bride to be - don't worry baby I'm safe and sound

Down in the dungeon just Peaches 'n' me Don't I love her so

A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky Where the beams of your lovelight chase Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain With a rain running down my face

Your matches still light up the sky And many a tear lives on in my eye

Down in the city just Hoople 'n' me Don't I love him so

Whatever comes of you and me I love to leave my memory with you

Now I'm here Think I'll stay around around around We'll be down in the city justa you 'n' me Don't I love you so

"Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy" (Mercury) ------------------------------

I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things We can do the tango just for two I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings Be your Valentino just for you

Ooh love - Ooh Loverboy What're you doin' tonight, hey boy - Set my alarm, turn on my charm That's because I'm a good old-fashioned loverboy

Ooh let me feel your heartbeat (grow faster, faster) Ooh Ooh let me feel your love heat Come on and sit on my hot-seat of love And tell me how do you feel right after-all I'd like for you and I to go romancing

Say the word - your wish is my command Ooh love - Ooh loverboy What're you doin' tonight, hey boy Write my letter Feel much better I'll use my fancy patter on the telephone When I'm not with you I think of you always I miss you - (I miss those long hot summer nights) When I'm not with you Think of me always I love you - Love you

Hey boy where do you get it from Hey boy where did you go? I learned my passion in the good old fashioned school of loverboys- Dining at the Ritz we'll meet at nine precisely I will pay the bill, you taste the wine Driving back in style, in my saloon will do quite nicely Just take me back to yours that will be fine (Come on and get it)

Ooh love, Ooh loverboy What're you doin' tonight, hey boy - Everything's all right Just hold on tight - That's because I'm a good old fashioned loverboy

Additional Vocal - Mike Stone

"Play The Game" (Mercury) ---------------

Open up your mind and let me step inside Rest your weary head and let your heart decide It's so easy when you know the rules It's so easy all you have to do Is fall in love Play the game, Everybody play the game of love When you're feeling down and your resistance is low Light another cigarette and let yourself go This is your life Don't play hard to get It's a free world All you have to do is fall in love Play the game, everybody play the game of love My game of love has just begun Love runs from head down to mt toes My love is pumping through my veins Driving me insane Come come come play the game This is your life - don;t play hard to get It's a free world all you have to do is fall in love Play the game

"Seven Seas Of Rhye" (Mercury) --------------------

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 councillors, 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, at the seven seas of Rhye

Sister, I live and lie for you, Mister, do and I'll die; You are mine, I posess you, belong to you forever Ah

Storm the master marathon I'll fly through by flash and thunder fire and I'll survive, I'll survive, I'll survive, then I'll defy the laws of nature and come out alive Begone with you, you shod and shady senators Give out the good leave out the bad evil cries; I challenge the mighty titan and his troubadours, And with a smile, I'll take you to the seven seas of Rhye

"We Will Rock You" (May) ------------------

"We Are The Champions" (Mercury) ----------------------

I've paid my dues - Time after time - I've done my sentence But committed no crime - And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face - But I've come through

We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting - till the end - We are the champions - We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

I've taken my bows And my curtain calls - You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it - I thank you all -

We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting - till the end - We are the champions - We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

"Keep Yourself Alive" (May) (single mix) ---------------------

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

"Under Pressure" (Queen and David 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

"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) ----------------

"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!

"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.

"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...
