One Vision Lyrics
[Intro]
God works in mysterious ways
Mysterious ways
Ah…
[Verse 1]
Hey! One man, one goal
Ha, one mission
One heart, one soul
Just one solution
One flash of light
Yeah, one god, one vision
[Chorus]
One flesh, one bone, one true religion
One voice, one hope, one real decision
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Give me one vision, yeah
[Verse 2]
No wrong, no right
I'm gonna tell you
There's no black and no white
No blood, no stain
All we need is one worldwide vision
[Chorus]
One flesh, one bone, one true religion
One race, one hope, one real decision
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa-yeah, whoa-yeah, oh yeah!
[Bridge]
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
Yeah!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
One vision
So give me your hands
Give me your hearts
I'm ready! There's only one direction
One world and one nation
Yeah, one vision
[Chorus]
No hate, no fight, just excitation
All through the night, it's a celebration
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, yeah!
[Interlude]
One, one, one, one, one, one, one
[Chorus]
One flesh, one bone, one true religion
One voice, one hope, one real decision
[Outro]
Give me one night, yeah
Give me one hope, hey
Just give me, ah
One man, one man
One bar, one night
One day, hey, hey
Just gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme fried chicken!
(Vision, vision, vision, vision, vision)
God works in mysterious ways…
A Kind of Magic Lyrics
[Intro]
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic
[Verse 1]
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)
[Pre-Chorus]
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
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 done
[Verse 2]
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)
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be, will soon be
Will soon be done!
This is (this is) a kind (a kind)
Of magic (yeah)
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done (done!)
[Bridge]
(Magic), it's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic, magic, magic, magic!
(Magic), a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, it's magic!
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Ha-ha!
Yeah, yeah!
Woo-hoo!
It's a kind of magic!
One Year of Love Lyrics
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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's so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
To the moment your surrender
[Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
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)
[Chorus]
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
[Orchestration Instrumentals Outro]
Pain Is So Close to Pleasure Lyrics
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure
Oh yeah
Sunshine and rainy weather
Go hand in hand together
All your life
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure
Everybody knows
One day we're loving each other
Then we're fighting one another
All the time
[Verse 1]
When I was young
And just getting started
And people talked to me
They sounded broken hearted
Then I grew up and got my 'magination
And all I wanted
Was to start a new relation
So in love, but love had a bad reaction
I was looking for
Some good old satisfaction
But pain is all I got when all I needed
Was some love and affection
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure
Yeah, yeah
Sunshine and rainy weather
Go hand in hand together
All your life
Pain and pleasure
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, pain and pleasure
When your plans go wrong
And you turn out the light
But inside of your mind
You put up a fight
[Verse 2]
Where are the answers
That we're all searching for?
There's nothing in this world
To be sure of anymore
Some days you're feeling good
Some days you're feeling bad
But if you're feeling happy
Someone else is always sad
Let the sweetness of love
Wipe the tears from your face
For better for worse
So let's make the best
Of the rest of our years
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure
I told you so
Sunshine and rainy weather
Go hand in hand together
All your life
Pain and pleasure
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure
Yeah, yeah
Sunshine and rainy weather
Go hand in hand together
All your life
[Outro]
All your life, ooh
Pain, pleasure
Pain, pleasure
Pain, pleasure
Pain, pleasure
[Guitar Solo]
Friends Will Be Friends Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped
And the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash
And leaving you with the lumber
[Pre-Chorus]
Got a pain in the chest
Doctor's on strike
What you need is a rest
It's not easy, love
But you got friends you can trust
[Chorus]
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 hands
'Cause friends will be friends
Right till the end
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered
A letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
You try to track him down
But somebody stole his number
[Pre-Chorus]
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life
Without him in your way
It's so easy now
'Cause you got friends you can trust
[Chorus]
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 hands
'Cause friends will be friends
Right 'till the end
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
It's so easy now
Cause you got friends you can trust
[Chorus]
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
'Cause friends will be friends
Right 'till the end
[Outro]
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
'Cause right 'till the end
Friends will be friends, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
Who Wants to Live Forever Lyrics
[Verse 1: Brian 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?
[Chorus: Brian May]
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Ooh
[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury]
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever? Ooh
Who dares to love forever
Oh, when love must die?
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Brian May & Freddie Mercury]
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
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
[Outro: Brian May]
Who waits forever anyway?
[Orchestral Section]
Gimme the Prize (Kurgan’s Theme) Lyrics
[Intro: Female Announcer & Clancy Brown]
In the garage and water
From the sprinklers
It also left a man's decapitated body
Lying on the floor
Next to his own severed head
A head which at this time
Has no name
I know his name...
[Verse 1: Freddie Mercury]
Here I am
I'm the master of your destiny
Ha-ha
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]
I am the one, the only one
I am the god of kingdom come
Give me the prize
Just give me the prize
[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury]
Give me your kings
Let me squeeze them in my hands
(He-he-hey)
Your puny princes
Your so-called leaders of your land
I'll eat them whole before I'm done
The battle's fought and the game is won
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury & Clancy Brown]
I am the one, the only one
I am the god of kingdom come
Give me the prize
Just give me the prize (The prize)
[Skit: Clancy Brown]
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahahaha
Now you die!
Ahahahahahaha!
I have something to say
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
There can be only one!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Freddie Mercury]
Move over, I said move over
Hey, hey, hey, clear the way
There's no escape from my authority
Didn't I tell you?
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury & Clancy Brown]
I am the one, the only one
I am the god of kingdom come
Give me the prize (The prize)
Just give me the prize (The prize)
[Outro: Freddie Mercury & Christopher Lambert]
I am the one, the only one
I am the god of kingdom come
So give me the prize
There can be only one!
