(Mercury) You suck my blood like a leech You break the law and you breach You Screw my brain till it hurts You've taken all my money - you still want more Misguided old mule With your pigheaded riles With your narrow-minded cronies who are fools Of the first division Death on two legs You're tearing me apart Death on two legs You never had a heart of your own Kill joy bad guy Big talking small fry You're just an old barrow-boy Have you found a new toy to replace me Can you face me But now you can kiss my ass goodbye Feel good are you satisfied Do you feel like suicide (I think you should) Is your conscience all right Does it plague you at night Do you feel good Feel good Talk like a big business tycoon But you're just a hot-air balloon So now one gives you a damn You're just an overgrown school-boy Let me tan your hide A dog with disease King of the sleaze Put your money where your mind is Mr. Know all Was the fin on your back part of the deal... (shark!) Death on two legs You're tearing me apart Death on two legs You never had a heart of your own (you never did, right from the start) Insane, should be put inside You're a sewer-rat decaying in a cesspool of pride Should be made unemployed Then make yourself null-and-oid Make me feel good I feel good Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon (Freddie Mercury I go out to work on a Monday morning Tuesday I go off to honeymoon I'll be back again before it's time for Sunny-down, I'll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon Bicycling on every Wednesday evening Thursday I go waltzing to the Zoo I come from London town, I'm just an ordinary guy, Fridays I go painting in the Louvre I'm bound to be proposing on a Saturday night (There he goes again) I'll be lazing on a Sunday lazing on a Sunday lazing on a Sunday Afternoon. I'm In Love With My Car (Roger Taylor; Dedicated to Jonathan Harris, boy racer to the end) The machine of a dream, such a clean machine, With the pistons a pumpin', and the hubcaps all gleam. When I'm holding your wheel, All I hear is your gear, When my hand's on your grease gun, Oh it's like a disease son, I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile, Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar, Such a thrill when your radials squeal. Told my girl I just had to forget her, Rather buy me a new cartburettor, So she made tracks sayin' ths is the end now, Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now, When I'm holding your wheel, All I hear is your gear, When I'm cruisin' in overdrive, Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive, I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile, I'm in love with my car, string back gloves in my automolove! You're My Best Friend (John Deacon) Ooh you make me live Whatever this world can give to me It's you you're all I see Ooo you make me live now honey Ooo you make me live Ooh you're the best friend that I ever had I've been with you such a long time You're my sunshine and I want you to know That my feelings are true I really love you Oh you're my best friend Ooo you make me live Ooh I've been wandering round But I still come back to you In rain or shine You've stood by me girl I'm happy at home You're my best friend Ooo you make me live Whenever this world is cruel to me I got you to help me forgive Ooo you make me live now honey Ooo you make me live You're the first one When things turn out bad You know I'll never be lonely You're my only one And I love the things I really love the things that you do You're my best friend Ooo you make me live I'm happy at home You're my best friend Oh you're my best friend Ooo you make me live You you're my best friend '39 (Brian May) In the year of '39 assembled here the Volunteers In the days when lands were few Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn The sweetest sight ever seen. And the night followed dau And the story tellers day That the score brave souls inside For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried. Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand For the day I take your hand In the land that our grandchildren knew. In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue The volunteers came home that day And they bring good news of a world so newly born Though their hearts so heavily weigh For the earth is old and grey, to a new home we'll away But my love this cannot be For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year Your mother's eyes in your eyes cry to me. Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand For my life Still ahead Pity Me. Sweet Lady (Brian May) You call me up and treat me like a dog You call me up and tear me up inside You've got me on a lead You bring me down You shout around You don't believe that I'm alone. Sweet Lady Sweet Lady Sweet Lady...Stay sweet. You say You call me up and feed me all the lines You call me sweet lime I'm some kind of cheese Waiting on the shelf You eat me up You hold me down I'm just a fool to make you a home And you say Sweet lady Sweet lady Sweet lady...Stay sweet." My Sweet lady Though it seems like we wait forever Stay sweet baby Believe and we've got everything we need.
