A Kind Of Magic
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 challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn on sanity
Is this a kind of magic?
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
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone (gone)
Magic - It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic, magic, magic, magic
It's magic (ha ha ha ha, it's magic)
It's a kind of magic

Under Pressure
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
That's
OK
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
These 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 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

Radio Ga Ga
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
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
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?
Someone still loves you!
Radio
Ga Ga
Radio Ga Ga
Radio Ga Ga
You had your time - you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

I Want It All
Adventure
seeker on an empty street,
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out,
It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say,
Gotta find me a future, move out of 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 people, come gather round
I gotta get me a new 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 futures 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 a one track mind,
So much to do in one lifetime (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 I want it now,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,
And I want it...Now

I Want To Break Free
I
want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free
I've
fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love
It's
strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure when I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh how I want to be free
Oh how I want to break free
But
life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without, living
without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see
I've got to break free
I've
got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free

Innuendo
While
the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow
Till the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin
Tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin - yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, color or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons and on and on
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin
We'll tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin
Till the end of time, till the end of time
Through
the sorrow all through our splendor
Don't take offense at my innuendo
You
can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
Be free with your tempo, be free, be free
Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself
Oooh,
ooh-yeah
If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin
Hey tread that fine line
Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah
And whatever will be, will be
We'll just keep on tryin, we'll just keep on tryin
Till the end of time, till the end of time, till the end of time
7.
It's A Hard Life
I
don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart
This
is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It could happen to anyone
You
win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
It's
a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
I
try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say its just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How
it hurts (yeah)- deep inside (oh yeah)
When your love has cut you down in size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
I'm waiting for love
Yes
it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
Yes
it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love
8.
Breakthru
When
love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow I have to make this final breakthru...Now!
I
wake up, feel just fine,
Your face, fills my mind
I get religion quick, cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something, you're touchin' me
I'm under your thumb, under you're spell, can't you see,
If I could only reach you,
If I could make you smile,
If I could only reach you,
That would really be a breakthru - oh yeah.
Breakthru,
these barriers of pain,
Breakthru, to the sunshine from the rain,
Make my feeling known towards you
Turn my heart inside and out for you now
Somehow, I have to make this final breakthru - Now!
Your
smile, speaks books to me,
I break up, with each and every one of your looks at me,
Honey you're starting something deep inside of me,
Honey you're sparking something, this fire in me,
I'm outta control, I wanna rush headlong into this ecstasy
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
Breakthru, breakthru

Who Wants To Live Forever
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 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 ours today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Forever is ours today
Who waits forever anyway?

Headlong
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 and there's nothing you can do about it
There's nothing you can do no there's nothing you can do about it
No there's nothing you can, nothing you can, nothing 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 nothing you can do about it - Yeah!
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 doo
Now you got soup in the laundry bag
Now you've got strings, you're gonna lose your rag
You're getting in a fight
Then it ain't so groovy when you're screaming in the night
Let me out of this cheap '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 nothing you can nothing you can nothing
you can do about it
When a red hot man meets a white hot lady
Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy doo
Soon the fire starts a raging get's em more than half crazy
Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy doo
Now they start freakin everywhere you turn
You can't start walking cause your feet got burned
It ain't no time to figure wrong from right
Cause reasons out the window
Better hold on tight, your rushing headlong
Headlong, out of control, yeah
You think your so strong, but there ain't no stoppin
And there's nothin you, nothin you, nothin you can do about it at all
And
your rushing 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
There's nothin, nothin, nothin you can do about it
Ooooooooh, ha ha!
Headlong...

The Miracle
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
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 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.... :]

I'm Going Slightly Mad
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 happened - happened
It finally happened - ooh oh
It finally happened - 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 happened - happened
It finally happened - uh huh
It finally happened - I'm slightly mad
Oh dear!
I'm
knitting with only one needle
Unraveling fast it's 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 happened - happened - happened
It finally happened - oh yes
It finally happened - I'm slightly mad
Just very slightly mad
And there you have it!

The Invisible Man
I'm
the invisible man,
I'm the invisible man,
Incredible how you can,
See right through me.
Freddie
Mercury
When you hear a sound, that you just can't place
Feel something move, that you just can't trace,
When something sits, on the end of your bed
Don't turn around, when you hear me tread.
I'm
the invisible man, I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can, see right through me
I'm the invisible man, I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can, see right through you.
John
Deacon
Now I'm in your room, and I'm in your bed
And I'm in your life, and I'm in your head
Like the CIA, or the FBI
You'll never get close, never take me alive
I'm
the invisible man, I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can, see right through me
I'm the invisible man, I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can, see right through you
Hah,
hah, hah, hello
Hah, hah, hah, OK
hah, hah, hah, hello, hello, hello ,hello
Never had a real good friend - not a boy or a girl
No one knows what I've been through - let my flag unfurl
So I make my mark from the edge of the world,
From the edge of the world, from the edge of the world,
Brian
May, Brian May
Now I'm on your track, and I'm in your mind
And I'm on your back, but don't look behind
I'm your meanest thought, I'm your darkest fear
But I'll never get caught, you can't shake me, shake me dear,
I'm
the invisible man, I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can, see right through me (watch me now)
I'm the invisible man, I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can, see right through you
Look at me, look at me
Roger
Taylor
Shake me, shake me, shake me dear

Hammer To Fall
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, yeah
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, yeah
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, yeah
Tow
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 is all the same
Lock your door but rain is pouring through your window pane
Baby now your struggle's all in 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 and louder
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 hammer to fall
It's going to fall
Yeah, hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time

Friends Will Be Friends
Another
red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating

Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest, doctors on strike
What you need is a rest
It's
not easy love but you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends, right till the end
Now
it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact you're getting used to life without him in your way
It's
so easy now, cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends, right till the end
It's

When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand cos right till the end -
Friends will be friends, yeah

The Show Must Go On
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, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup 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, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup 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...
