Keep Yourself Alive Lyrics
[Intro: Freddie Mercury]
(Taking off)
[Verse 1: Freddie Mercury]
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
Mind you grow a little wiser, little better every 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 alleyway
But I never saw my face in any window any day
Now they say your folks are telling you, "Be a superstar"
But I tell you, just be satisfied and stay right where you are
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]
Keep yourself alive, yeah, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and-a money, honey, you'll survive
[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury]
Well, I've loved a million women in a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays
Give me everythin' I need to feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger, maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on tryin' and get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started, same as when I started
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]
Keep yourself alive, come on, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and-a money, honey, you'll survive (shake)
[Drum Solo]
[Interlude: Freddie Mercury]
(Ow!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]
Keep yourself alive, whoa, keep yourself alive
Oh, take you all your time and-a money to keep me satisfied
[Bridge: Roger Taylor & Brian May]
Do you think you're better every day?
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]
Keep yourself alive, come on, keep yourself alive
You take your time and take my money, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, come on, keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, come on, come on, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and-a money to keep me satisfied
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
[Outro: Freddie Mercury]
Take you all your time and money, honey, you will survive
Keep you satisfied, keep yourself alive…
Doing All Right Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yesterday, my life was in ruin
Now today, I know what I'm doin'
Got a feeling I should be doing all right
[Refrain]
Doing all right
[Verse 2]
Where will I be this time tomorrow?
Jumped in joy, or sinking in sorrow?
Anyway, I should be doing all right
[Refrain]
Doing all right
[Bridge]
Should be waiting for the sun
Looking 'round to find the words to say
Should be waiting for the skies to clear
Every time in all the world
Should be waiting for the sun
And anyway, I've got to hide away
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ooh
[Verse 3]
Yesterday my life was in ruin
Now today, God knows what I'm doin'
Anyway, I should be doing all right
[Refrain]
Doing all right
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Doing all right
Great King Rat Lyrics
[Guitar Solo Intro]
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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?
Would you like to see?
Now hear this
[Verse 2]
Where will I be tomorrow?
Will I beg? Will I borrow?
I don't care, I don't care (Anyway)
Come on, come on, the time is right
The man is evil and that is right
I told you (Ah, yes, I told you)
And that's no lie (Oh, no, no)
[Chorus]
Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you?
Would you like to see?
Show me!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know, people? (People)
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you?
Would you like to see?
Hit it!
[Bridge]
Now listen, all you people
Put out the good and keep the bad
Don't believe all you read in the Bible
You sinners get in line
Saints you leave far behind
Very soon you're gonna be his disciple
Don't listen to what Mama says
Not a word, not a word Mama says
Or else you'll find yourself being the rival, sure
The great Lord, before he died
Knelt sinners by his side
And said, "You're going to realize tomorrow"
No, I'm not gonna tell you what you already know
'Cause time and time again
The old man said it all a long time ago
Come, come on, the time is right
This evil man will fight
I told you once before
Ooh, hear it
Dirty old man
Dirty old man
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Just like I said before
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
The last time I tell you
Would you like to see?
[Drums Solo Outro]
My Fairy King Lyrics
[Mercury] working at his full… Read More [Intro]
Ah-ah
[Verse 1]
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 through the air
And baby lambs where Samson dares
To go on, on, on, on
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
My fairy king (He rules the air and turns the tides)
He rules the air and can see things that are not there
For you and me to see (Ooh, yeah)
My fairy king (He guides the winds)
He can do right and nothing wrong
[Verse 3]
(Ah) Then came man to savage in the night
To run like thieves and to kill like knives
To take away the power from the magic hand
To bring about the ruin to the promised land
(Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 4]
They turn milk into sour, like the blue in the blood of my veins
(Why can't you see it?)
Fire burnin' in hell with the cry of screaming pain
(Son of Heaven set me free and let me go)
Sea turns dry, no salt from sand
And seasons fly no helping hand
Teeth don't shine like pearls for poor men's eyes (No more)
[Bridge]
Someone, someone
Has drained the colour from my wings
Broken my fairy circle ring
And shamed the king in all his pride
Changed the winds and wronged the tides
Oh, Mother Mercury (Mercury)
Look what they've done to me (Yeah)
I cannot run, I cannot hide
[Instrumental Outro]
Liar Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I have sinned, dear Father
Father, I have sinned
Try and help me, Father
Won't you let me in?
[Chorus]
(Liar!) Oh, nobody believes me
(Liar!) Why don't you leave me alone?
[Verse 2]
Sire, I have stolen
Stolen many times
Raised my voice in anger
When I know I never should
[Chorus]
(Liar!) Oh, everybody deceives me
(Liar!) Why don't you leave me alone?
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
(Liar!) I have sailed the seas
(Liar!) From Mars to Mercury
(Liar!) I have drunk the wine
(Liar!) Time after time
(Liar!) You're lying to me
(Liar!) Oh, you're lying to me
Father, please forgive me
You know you'll never leave me
Please, will you direct me in the right way?
Liar, liar, liar, liar!
Liar! (That's what they keep calling me)
Liar, liar, liar!
(Oh, let me go)
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Listen!
Are you gonna listen?
Mama I'm gonna be your slave (All day long)
Mama, I'm gonna try to behave (All day long)
Mama, I'm gonna be your slave (All day long)
I'm gonna serve you 'til your dying day (All day long)
I'm gonna keep you 'til your dying day (All day long)
I'm gonna kneel down by your side and pray (All day long)
And pray (All day long)
And pray (All day long)
And pray (All day long)
Wow! (All day long)
Wow! (All day long)
(All day long) All day long
(All day long) All day long
(All day long) All day long
(All day long) All day long
Yeah! (We have lift-off!)
[Bass Solo]
[Outro]
All day long, all day long, all day long
Liar, liar, they never ever let you win
Liar, liar, everything you do is sin
Liar, nobody believes you
Liar, they bring you down before you begin
Ooh, now let me tell you this
So now you know you could
Be dead before they let you, ah
The Night Comes Down Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
When I was young it came to me
And I could see the sun breaking
Lucy was high and so was I
Dazzling, holding the world inside
Once I believed in everyone
Everyone and anyone can see
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, the night comes down
And I get afraid of losing my way
Oh-oh, the night comes down
Ooh, and it's dark again
[Verse 2]
Once I could laugh with everyone
Once I could see the good in me
The black and the white distinctively
Colouring, holding the world inside
Now all the world is grey to me
Nobody can see, you gotta believe it
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, the night comes down
And I get afraid of losing my way
Oh-oh, the night comes down
Ooh, and it's dark again
And it's dark again
And it's dark again
[Bass Solo Outro]
Modern Times Rock ’n’ Roll Lyrics
[Verse 1: Roger Taylor]
Had to make do
With a worn out rock 'n' roll scene
The old bop is getting tired, need a rest
Well you know what I mean
'58, that was great
But it's over now and that's all
Somethin' harder's coming up
Gonna really knock a hole in the wall
Gonna hit ya, grab ya hard
Make you feel ten feet tall
[Verse 2: Roger Taylor]
Well I hope that big new baby's
Gonna come along soon
You don't know
It could happen any ol' rainy afternoon
With the temperature down
And the jukebox blowin' no fuse
And my musical life's feelin' like
A long Sunday School cruise
And you know that there's one thing
Every single body could use
[Pre-Chorus: Roger Taylor]
Yeah, listen little baby
Let me tell you what it's all about
[Chorus: Roger Taylor]
(Modern times) Rock 'n' roll
(Modern times) Rock 'n' roll
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Roger Taylor, John Anthony]
Get your high heel guitar-style boots
And some groovy clothes
Get a hair piece on your chest
And a ring through your nose
Find a nice little man who says
He's gonna make you a real big star
Stars in your eyes and ants in your pants
Think you should go far
Everybody in this bum-sucking world's
Gonna know who you are
Look out
[Chorus: Roger Taylor]
(Modern times) Rock 'n' roll
Son and Daughter Lyrics
[Intro]
I want you, ah, woman
[Verse 1]
Tried to be a son and daughter
Rolled into one
You said you'd equal any man
For having your fun
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, now didn't you feel surprised to find
The cap just didn't fit?
The world expects a man
To buckle down and to shovel shit
What'll you do for loving
When it's only just begun?
[Chorus]
I want you to be a woman, yeah
[Verse 2]
Tried to be a teacher
And a fisher of men
An equal people preacher
Will you lead us all the same?
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I travelled around the world and found
A brand new word for day
Watching the time, mustn't linger behind
Pardon me, I have to get away
Ooh, what'll you think of heaven
If it's back from where you came?
[Chorus]
I want you to be a woman
[Outro]
I want you to be a woman, yeah
You know I'm gonna save the world
Now you've just begun, alright!
Jesus Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus (Going down)
All going down
[Verse 2]
Then came a man before his feet he fell
Unclean, said the leper and rang his bell
Felt the palm of a hand touch his head
Go now, go now, you're a new man instead
[Chorus]
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus (Right)
All going down
[Verse 3]
It all began with the three wise men
Followed a star, took them to Bethlehem
And made it heard throughout the land
Born was a leader of man
[Chorus]
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus (Going down to Bethlehem)
All going down
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
It all began with the three wise men
Followed a star, took them to Bethlehem
And made it heard throughout the land
Born was a leader of man, that's right
[Chorus]
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down
Seven Seas of Rhye… Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Fear me you Lords and lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls, you unbelievers
[Chorus]
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of Rhye
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I swear that you'll be mine
The seven seas of Rhye
[Bridge]
Sister, I live and lie for you
Mister, do and I'll die
You are mine, I possess you
I belong to you forever (Ever, ever)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Storm the master-marathon, I’ll fly through
By flash and thunder-fire and I'll survive (I'll survive, I'll survive)
Then I'll defy the laws of nature (I'll survive, I'll survive, I'll survive)
And come out alive, then I'll get you
[Verse 4]
Be gone with you, you shod and shady senators
Give out the good, leave out the bad evil cries
I challenge the mighty Titan and his troubadours
[Chorus]
And with a smile
I'll take you to the seven seas of Rhye
[Outro]
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!
Oh I do like to be beside by the sea
I do like to stroll upon the Prom, Prom, Prom!
Where the brass band plays: "tiddely-om-pom-pom!"
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!
Oh I do like to be beside by the sea
When I'm down beside the sea, I'm beside myself with glee
Beside the seaside! Beside the sea
