Innuendo Lyrics

[Intro]

One, two, three, four

[Interlude]

Ooh, ooh!

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Oh yes, we'll keep on trying

Tread that fine line

Oh, we'll keep on trying, yeah

Just passing our time

[Interlude]

Ooh, ooh!

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Oh yes, we'll keep on trying

We'll tread that fine line

Oh, we'll keep on trying

'Till the end of time

[Post-Chorus]

Through the sorrow all through our splendour

Don't take offense at my innuendo

[Spanish Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]

Ooh, ooh, yeah!

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Oh yes, we'll keep on trying

Hey, tread that fine line

Yeah, we'll keep on smiling, yeah

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And whatever will be, will be

[Outro]

(We'll just keep on trying)

We'll just keep on trying

'Till the end of time

'Till the end of time!

I’m Going Slightly Mad Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

I'm going slightly mad

It finally happened, happened

It finally happened, oh-woah

It finally happened, I'm slightly mad

Oh dear, hahaha

[Verse 2]

I'm one card short of a full deck

I'm not quite the shilling

One wave short of a shipwreck

I'm not at 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

[Chorus]

I'm going slightly mad

It finally happened, happened

Finally, happened, uh huh

Finally, happened, I'm slightly mad

Oh dear

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Oo-oo-ah-ah, oo-oh-ah-ah

[Verse 3]

I'm knitting with only one needle

Unravelling fast, it's true

I'm driving only three wheels these days

But my dear, how about you?

[Chorus]

I'm going slightly mad

It finally happened

It finally happened, oh yes

It finally happened, I'm slightly mad

Just very slightly mad

[Outro]

And there you have it

(Hahaha!)

Headlong Lyrics

[Intro]

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

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

[Chorus]

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!

[Verse 1]

Hey, 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 do)

Now you've 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!

[Chorus]

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 rocking

And there's nothing you can, nothing you can

Nothing you can do about it

[Verse 2]

When a red-hot man

Meets a white-hot lady

(Hoop diddy, diddy, hoop diddy do)

Soon the fire starts raging

Gets you more than half crazy

(Hoop diddy, diddy, hoop diddy do)

Ooh, now they start freaking

Everywhere you turn

You can't start walking

'Cause your feet got burned

It ain't no time to figure wrong from right

Because reason's out of the window

Better hold on tight

[Chorus]

You're rushing headlong

Headlong

Out of control (Yeah!)

And you think you're so strong

There ain't no stopping

And there's nothing you, nothing you

Nothing you can do about it at all

[Guitar Solo]

Yeah, yeah

Alright, go!

[Chorus]

And you're 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 nothing, nothing

Nothing you can do about it, yeah

[Outro]

Ha ha

Headlong

Yeah, yeah, yeah (Rushing)

Headlong

Gnoldaeh, gnoldaeh, gnoldaeh, gnoldaeh

I Can’t Live With You Lyrics

[Chorus]

I can't live with you

But I can't live without you

I can't let you stay

Ooh, but I can't live if you go away

I don't know just how it goes

All I know is I can't live with you

[Verse 1]

Yeah, I'm having a hard time

I'm walking a fine line

Between hope and despair

You may think that I don't care

But I travelled a long road

To get hold of my sorrow

I tried to catch a dream

But nothing's what it seems

Love is saying, "baby, it's all right"

When deep inside

You're really petrified

Lover turns to hater on this escalator

[Chorus]

I can't live with you

Yeah, but I can't live without you

I can't breathe if you stay

But I can't bare you to go away

I don't know what time it is

All I know is I can't live with you

[Verse 2]

We're stuck in a bad place

We're trapped in a rat race

We can't escape

Maybe there's been some mistake

We're trying to make a high score

We're walking through a closed door

And nobody's winning

We're just sinning against ourselves

[Bridge]

Hold on, baby, tell me it's all right

Anger's breaking from the hurt inside

Passions screaming hotter

Doing what we gotta do, yeah

I can't live with you

I can't live, I can't live

I can't, I can't live with you

But baby, I'll never ever leave you

[Chorus]

I can't live with you

But I can't live without you

'Cause I'm in love with you

Ooh, and everything about you

I can't live with you

No, I just can't live, I just can't live

I can't live with you

Yeah, and I can't live without you

Through the madness

Through the tears

We've still got each other

For a million years, yeah!

[Outro]

Ooh, yeah

Yeah, I can't live

Without you, yeah, yeah

I can't live without you

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh

I can't live without you

Oh, I can't live without you

Baby, baby, baby

Without you, whoa yeah

I can't live without you

Don’t Try So Hard Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you're searchin' out for somethin', don't try so hard

If you're feelin' kind of nothin', don't try so hard

When your problems seem like mountains, you feel the need to find some answers

You can leave it for another day, don't try so hard

[Verse 2]

But if you fall and take a tumble, it won't be far

If you fail, you mustn't grumble, thank your lucky stars

Just savor every mouthful and treasure every moment

When the storms are raging 'round you, stay right where you are

[Chorus]

Oh, don't try so hard

Oh, don't take it all to heart

It's only fools, they make these rules

Don't try so hard

[Verse 3]

One day, you'll be a sergeant major, oh, you'll be so proud

Screamin' out your bloody orders, hey, but not too loud

Polish all your shiny buttons, dress as lamb instead of mutton

But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd

[Bridge]

Oh, what a beautiful world

This is the life for me

Oh, what a beautiful world

It's the simple life for me

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Oh, don't try so hard

Oh, don't take it all to heart

It's only fools, they make these rules

Don't try so hard

[Outro]

Don't try so hard

Ride the Wild Wind Lyrics

[Intro]

[Chorus]

Ride the wild wind

(Push the envelope don't sit on the fence)

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Ride the wild wind

(Live life on the razor's edge)

Hey, hey, hey

Gonna ride the whirlwind

It ain't dangerous enough for me

[Verse 1]

Get your head down baby (Yeah)

We're gonna ride tonight

Your angel eyes

Are shining bright

I wanna take your hand

Lead you from this place

Gonna leave it all behind

Check out of this rat race

[Chorus]

Ride the wild wind (Hey hey hey)

Gonna ride the wild wind

It ain't dangerous enough for me

[Verse 2]

Tie your hair back baby

We're gonna ride tonight (Yeah)

We got freaks to the left

We got jerks to the right

Sometimes I get so low

I just have to ride

Let me take your hand

Let me be your guide

[Chorus]

Ooh, ride the wild wind

(Don't sit on the fence)

Hey, hey, hey

Ride the wild wind

(Live life on the razor's edge)

(Hey, hey, hey)

Gonna ride the whirlwind

It ain't dangerous enough for me

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Yeah, ride the wild wind

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Mm, ride the wild wind

Hey, hey, hey, hey (Ha ha ha)

Gonna ride and ride the whirlwind

It ain't dangerous enough for me

[Outro]

Ride the wild wind

(Hey, hey, hey)

The wild wind

(Hey, hey, hey)

All God’s People Lyrics

So all you people give freely

Make welcome inside your homes, woo!

Thank God you people give freely

(Gotta face up, better grow up)

[Bridge]

Yes, yeah

Yes, there was this magic light

I said to myself

I'd better go to bed

And have an early night

Then I, then I, then I

Then I went into a dream

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]

Rule with your heart

And live with your conscience

[Outro]

We're all God's

We're all God's-

People

Woah-woah-woah-woah

We're all God's

These Are the Days of Our Lives Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I get to feelin' I was back in the old days, long ago

When we were kids, when we were young

Things seemed so perfect, you know?

The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young

The sun was always shinin', we just lived for fun

Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know

The rest of my life's been just a show

[Chorus]

Those were the days of our lives

The bad things in life were so few

Those days are all gone now, but one thing is true

When I look and I find I still love you

[Verse 2]

You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide

Ain't that a shame?

Ooh, I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride

When life was just a game

No use in sittin' and thinkin' on what you did

When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids

Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know

Better sit back and go with the flow

[Chorus]

'Cause these are the days of our lives

They've flown in the swiftness of time

These days are all gone now, but some things remain

When I look and I find no change

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Those were the days of our lives, yeah

The bad things in life were so few

Those days are all gone now, but one thing's still true

When I look and I find I still love you

[Outro]

I still love you

Delilah Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Delilah, Delilah

Oh my, oh my, oh my

You're irresistible

You make me smile

When I'm just about to cry

You bring me hope

You make me laugh and I like it

You get away with murder so innocent

But when you throw a moody

You're all claws and you bite

That's alright!

[Verse 2]

Delilah, Delilah

Oh my, oh my, oh my

You're unpredictable

You make me so very happy

When you cuddle up and go

To sleep beside me

And then you make me slightly mad

When you pee all over

My Chippendale suite

[Bridge]

Delilah, Delilah

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

You take over my house and home

You even try to answer my telephone

Delilah, you're the apple of my eye

Meeow meeow meeow

Delilah, I love you, Delilah

[Verse 3]

Ooh, you make me so very happy

You give me kisses

And I go out of my mind, ooh

Meeow meeow meeow

You're irresistible, I love you, Delilah

Delilah, I love you

[Outro]

Hah-hah

You make me very happy

Oh yeah

I love your kisses

I love your, your, your kisses

I love your kisses

The Hitman Lyrics

[Intro: Freddie Mercury]

Here we go, yeah!

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

[Verse 1: Freddie Mercury & Brian May]

Hey, I'm the hitman, stand aside

I'm the hitman, I want your life

Ain't no escapin', don't run and hide

There goes the neighborhood

(I'm gonna kill for your love)

That's right!

[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury & Freddie Mercury & Brian May]

Hitman, now don't you cry

I'm just it, man, and you might get fried

Gun in my pocket, don't get me wrong

I'll be your hitman

I'm a fool for your love

I'm a head shredder

That's better!

[Bridge: Freddie Mercury, Freddie Mercury & Brian May & Brian May]

Baby, baby, baby, I'm a hitman, hitman, hitman (Yeah!)

Yeah, trouble in the east, trouble in the west

Struggle with the beast, what a thief, what a pest

Come back mother, nuke that sucker

Yeah, yeah! (Yeah!)

Who knows what I'm talkin' about?

[Guitar Solo: Freddie Mercury]

Waste that brother!

All right, woohoo!

That's the way to do it, ah-ha!

[Verse 3: Freddie Mercury]

I'm the hitman, I'm your prize

But this hitman can cut you down to size

Love me baby, don't be so cool

Love me, love me, baby

I've been to the hitman school

Yeah, yeah!

You're gonna make my day

Gonna blow you away

[Interlude: Freddie Mercury & Brian May]

When the fun begins

(Hitman) Are you ready for the sting?

Gonna waste that thing

(Hitman) Hitman is king!

[Guitar Solo: Freddie Mercury]

Yeah!

Go, go!

Yeah, hitman, hitman!

Oh yeah, ow!

Bijou Lyrics

[Guitar Solo Intro – 00:00–01:24]

[Verse]

You and me

We are destined, you'll agree

To spend the rest of our lives with each other

The rest of our days like two lovers

Forever, yeah

Forever

My bijou

[Guitar Solo Outro – 02:24-03:37]

The Show Must Go On Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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?

[Verse 2]

Another hero, another mindless crime

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime

Hold the line

Does anybody want to take it anymore?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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?

[Verse 4]

I guess I'm learning (I'm learning, I'm learning, I'm learning)

I must be warmer now

I'll soon be turning (Turning, turning, turning)

'Round the corner now

Outside, the dawn is breaking

But inside in the dark, I'm aching to be free

[Chorus]

The show must go on

The show must go on, yeah, yeah

Ooh, inside, my heart is breaking

My makeup may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

[Break]

Yeah, yeah

Oh woah, woah, oh woah

[Bridge]

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die

I can fly, my friends

[Chorus]

The show must go on, eh (Go on, go on, go on)

The show must go on (Go on, go on, go on)

I'll face it with a grin

I'm never giving in

On with the show

[Outro]

Ooh, I'll top the bill, I'll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on

(On with the show, on with the show)

Show

(The show must go on)
