Keep Yourself Alive
Written by Brian May

Take off
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
Well I sold a million mirrors
In a shopping alley way
But I never saw my face
In any window any day

Doing All Right
Written by Tim Staffell, Brian May

Yesterday my life was in ruin
Now today I know what I'm doing
Gotta feeling I should be doing all right
Doing all right

Where will I be this time tomorrow
Jump in joy or sinking in sorrow
Anyway I should be doing all right
Doing all right

Should be waiting for the sun
Looking round to find the words to say

Great King Rat
Written by Freddie Mercury

Great King Rat died today
Born on the twenty first of May
Died syphilis forty four on his birthday
Every second word he swore
Yes he was the son of a whore
Always wanted by the law

Wouldn't you like to know ?
Wouldn't you like to know people ?
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you

My Fairy King
Written by Freddie Mercury

Aah, aah
In the land where horses born with eagle wings
And honey bees have lost their stings
There's singing forever, ooh yeah
Lion's den with fallow deer
And rivers made from wine so clear
Flow on and on forever
Dragons fly like sparrows thru' the air
And baby lambs where Samson dares
To go on on on on on on

My fairy king can see things

Liar
Written by Freddie Mercury

I have sinned dear father, father I have sinned
Try and help me father
Won't you let me in ? Liar
Oh nobody believes me - Liar
Ooh, why don't you leave me alone ?
Sire I have stolen, stolen many times
Raised my voice in anger
When I know I never should
Liar - oh everybody deceives me
Liar - ooh, why don't you leave me alone ?

The Night Comes Down
Written by Brian May

When I was young it came to me
And I could see the sun breakin'
Lucy was high and so was I dazzling
Holding the world inside
Once I believed in everyone
Everyone and anyone can see

Oh oh the night comes down
And I get afraid of losing my way
Oh oh the night comes down
Oooh and it's dark again

Once I could laugh with everyone

Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll
Written by Roger Taylor

Had to make do with a worn out rock and roll scene
The old bop is getting tired need a rest
Well you know what I mean
Fifty eight that was great
But it's over now and that's all
Something harder's coming up
Gonna really knock a hole in the wall
Gonna hit ya grab ya hard
Make you feel ten feet tall

Son And Daughter
Written by Brian May

I want you woman
Tried to be a son and daughter rolled into one
You said you'd equal any man for having your fun
Ooh, now didn't you feel surprised to find
The cap just didn't fit ?
The world expects a man
To buckle down and shovel shit
What'll you do for loving
When it's only just begun ?
I want you to be a woman

Jesus
Written by Freddie Mercury

And then I saw him in the crowd
A lot of people had gathered round him
The beggars shouted, the lepers called him
The old man said nothing
He just stared about him
All going down to see the lord Jesus
All going down (going down) to see the lord Jesus
All going down

Then came a man before his feet he fell
Unclean said the leper, rang his bell

Seven Seas Of Rhye
Written by Freddie 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 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

Back Chat, Back Chat
You burn all my energy
Back Chat, Back Chat
Criticising all you see
Back Chat, Back Chat
Analysing what I say
Back Chat, Back Chat
And you always get your way

Oh yeah see what you've done to me
Back Chat, Back Chat
You're driving me insane
It's a battle to the end, knock you down you come again

Talk back, talk back you've got me on the rack

instrumental
....

Been here before a long time ago
But this time I wear no sandals
Ages past I gave all you people food and water
Three feet tall,
so very small
I'm no trouble
I bring thunder, lightning, sun and the rain
For all the people in the land

A message of love
I bring you from up above
All good children gather around
Come join your hands and sing along

They call me Mad the swine

Oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
Yeah
Oh, every morning, I face the sun
I lift my head and smile at everyone
Every afternoon you'll find me working on
I got my new shoes on
Got to be moving on - that's what they say
Every night I'm tossed
And I shake my fevered brow
Thinking of my lost opportunity
Oh yeah
Oooh

Yes every morning I face the sun
And I get so positive with everyone

Another party's over
And I'm left cold sober
My baby left me for somebody new
I don't wanna talk about it
Want to forget about it
I'm intoxicated with that special brew
So come and get me, let me
Get in that sinking feeling
That says my heart is on an all time low - so
Don't expect me
To behave perfectly
And wear that sunny smile
My guess is I'm in for a cloudy and overcast

This is where we are today
People going separate ways
This is the way things are now
In disarray
I read it in the papers
There's death on every page
Oh Lord, I thank the Lord above
My life has been saved yeah

Here we go
Tellin' lies
Here we go - here we go
Wooh ooh ooh, my life has been saved
Saved my life, ooh, yeah-eah oh ohh
This is the way we are today
ohoh ohoh

Just walking down the street
One cloudless sunny day
Just minding my own business
Thinking my thoughts -
nothing much to say
When suddenly I got hit
Imagine my surprise
Your smile came up and zapped
Me right between the eyes
I'd never seen anything to compare
With your smile
I'd never seen anything
That came within miles
My heart got hijacked by you

Stuck in the traffic

That's the way I am
Does anybody want to know ?
This is the way I lead my life, you know
Wheelin' and dealin' and a little bit of stealin'
You know, that's the way I grew up
It's the only life I know
That's the way my mother told me
And they go
Stealin'
I gave you the key to my home
I left you alone
In charge of my heart
Hey, stealin'
You got me wheelin' and dealin'

[lots of a capella!]

Let's play the rock in Rio blues baby
We've come to do rock in Rio with you baby
Eh yeah yeah
Woh!
Rock in Rio night baby
It's rock in Rio night
Ah ah aye
Everybody's having - eeeh woooh
Oh oh oh oh
Woooh woh woh woh wah
Get in to the rock in Rio business hey
Rockin!
Ah
m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m woooh waaah
Yeah hey hey
m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-ah
