THE GREAT PRETENDER

(Buck Ram,"The Platters")

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh)
Pretending I'm doing well (oooh oooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no-one can tell

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (oooh oooh)
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oooh oooh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (oooh oooh)
I seem to be what I'm not (you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Yeah oooh hoo
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown (oooh oooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're
Pretending that you're still around

TIME

(Dave Clark/John Christie)

Time waits for nobody

Time waits for nobody
We all must plan our hopes together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Time waits for nobody

We might as well be deaf and dumb and blind
I know that sounds unkind
But it seems to me we've not listened to
Or spoken about it at all
The fact that time is running out for us all

Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no-one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because time, it waits for nobody

You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong (gone wrong gone wrong)
You know what's going on
But it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all (confided in each other at all)
It seems that we've all got our backs against the wall

(Time) Time waits for nobody
(Time) waits for no-one
We've got to trust in one another
Or there'll be no more future at all
(Time)

Yeah, Time waits for nobody
No no, Time don't wait for no-one
Let's learn to be friends with one another
Or there'll be no more future at all

Time (time) time (time) waits for nobody waits for nobody
Time time time time waits for nobody at all

Time waits for nobody, yeah
Time don't wait, waits for no-one
Let us free this world for ever
And build a brand new future for us all

Time waits for nobody nobody nobody
For no-one

(Mercury)

IN MY DEFENCE

(Dave Clark/John Soames/Jeff Daniels)

In my defence what is there to say
All the mistakes we made must be faced today
It's not easy now knowing where to start
While the world we love tears itself apart

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream

In my defence what is there to say
We destroy the love - it's our way
We never listen enough never face the truth
Then like a passing song
Love is here and then it's gone

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
I'm just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream

Oh what on earth
Oh what on earth
How do I try
Do we live or die

Oh help me God
Please help me

LOVE KILLS

(Freddie Mercury/Georgio Moroder)

Love don't give no compensation
Love don't pay no bills
Love don't give no indication
Love just won't stand still

Love kills - drills you through your heart
Love kills - scars you from the start
It's just a living pastime
Ruining your heartline
Stays for a lifetime won't let you go
Because love (love) love (love) love won't leave you alone

Love won't take no reservations
Love is no square deal
Hey love don't give no justification
It strikes like cold steel

Love kills - drills you through your heart
Love kills - scars you from the start
It's just a living pastime
Burning your lifeline
Gives you as hard time won't let you go
Because love (love) love (love) love won't leave you alone

Hey love can play with your emotions
Open invitation to your heart
Hey love kills
Play with your emotions
Open invitation to your heart to your heart
Love kills love kills
Hey hey

Love kills (love kills)
Love kills (kills kills kills)

Love can play with your emotions
Open invitation

Love kills - hey - drills you through your heart
Love kills - scars you from the start
It's just a living pastime
Ruining your heartline
Won't let you go

Love kills - hey - drills you through your heart
Love kills - tears you right apart
It won't let go it won't let go

Love kills - yeah
