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,
Is challenging the doors of time,
It's a kind of magic,
The waiting seems eternity,
The day will down of sanity,
Is this the kind of magic,
It's a kind of magic,
There can be only one,
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done,
This flame that burns inside of me,
I'm here in 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,
The rage that lasts a thousand years,
Will soon be, will soon be,
Will soon be done,
This is a kind of magic,
There can be only one,
The rage that lasts a thousand years,
Will soon be done,
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,
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 -
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all -

I see a little silhouette of a man,
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the Fandango -
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me -
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo
Gallileo 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 his 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 him 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,

Anyway 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
Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor
There are the days it never rains but it pours
People on streets - 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 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)

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.

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

Toe 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 it's all the same
Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane
Baby now your struggle's all vain.

For me 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 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' 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,
Ooh 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 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,
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 happend, happend
It finally happend - ooh oh
It finally happend - 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 happend, happend
It finally happend uh huh
It finally happend 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 happend
It finally happend oh yes
It finally happend
I'm slightly mad !
Just very slightly mad !
And there you have it !

I WANT IT ALL

(Queen)

Adventure seeker on an empty street,
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming with no time for doubt
With a pain and anger can't see a way out,
It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say ,
Gotta find me a fufure move out 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 peorle, 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 one track mind
So much to do is 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 Ii want it now,
I want it all, I want it all,
I want it all, and I want it now,
etc.

TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN

(May)

Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right
Got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight my little
Schoolbabe

Your mamma 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 outta my house
That's all I ever got from your
Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweet heart band
To put a stop to all that
Grousin' an' shipin'

Tie your mother down -
Tie your mother down -
Take your little brother swimmin'
Tie your mother down,
Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine

Your mamma and your Daddy gonna
Plague me till I die
Why can't the understand I'm just a
Peace lovin' guy
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down... etc 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, vIt'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,
It's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle,

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 run.
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 on sitting and on thinking 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 the life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing still true
When i look and i find, i stiil, i still love you,
I still love you.

ONE VISION

(Queen)

One man one goal one mission,
One heart one soul just one solution,
One flash of light yeah one god one vision.

One flash one bone,
One true religion,
One voice one hope,
One real decision,
Wowowowo gimme one vision.

No wrong no right,

No blood no stain,
All we need is one world wide vision.

One flash one bone,
One true religion,
One race one hope,
One real decision,
Wowowowo 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.

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 celebration wowowowo yeah.

One true religion,
One voice one hope,
One real decision.

Just gimme,
One man one man,

One day hey hey,
Just gimme gimme gimme,
One vision.

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 hothin'
You can do about it
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 hothin'
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 loose your rag
You're getting on a fight
Then it ain't so groovy when you're screaming in the night
Let me out of this chip "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
Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy do
Now they start freacking every way you turn
You cant stop 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 rushing ...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 decidede for us,
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.

Who wants to live forever.
Who dares to live 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 butterfly
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 show - with the show
The show must go on...
