Tie Your Mother Down Lyrics

[Intro]

Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]

Get your party gown, get your pigtail down

Get your heart beating, baby

Got my timing right, got my act all tight

It's gotta be tonight

My little school babe

Your momma says you don't

And your daddy says you won't

And I'm boiling up inside

There is no way I'm gonna lose out this time

Oh, no

[Chorus]

Tie your mother down

Lock your daddy out of doors

I don't need him nosing around

Tie your mother down

Give me all your love tonight

[Verse 2]

"You're such a dirty louse

Go get out of my house"

That's all I ever get from you

Your family ties, in fact

I don't think I ever heard

A single little civil word from those guys

But you know I don't give a light

I'm gonna make out all right

I've got a sweetheart in hand

To put a stop to all that

Snipin' and grousin' goin' on all night

[Chorus]

Tie your mother down

Take your little brother

Swimming with a brick, that's alright

Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down, yeah-yeah

Or you ain't no friend of mine

[Guitar Solo]

Bad guy

[Verse 3]

Your mommy and your daddy

Are gonna plague me till I die

They can't understand it

I'm just a peace loving guy

[Chorus]

Tie your mother down

Get that big, big, big, big, big

Big daddy out the door

Tie your mother down

Yeah, tie your mother down

Give me all your love tonight

All your love tonight

[Outro]

Give me every inch of your love

Gotta get my timing right

All your love tonight, yeah

All your love

Tonight

You Take My Breath Away Lyrics

[Intro]

Ooh

Ooh, take it, take it all away

Ooh

Ooh, take my breath away (ooh)

Ooh

Ooh, you-ou-ou-ou

Take my breath away

[Verse 1]

Look into my eyes and you'll see

I'm the only one

You've captured my love, stolen my heart

Changed my life

Every time you make a move, you destroy my mind

And the way you touch

I lose control and shiver deep inside

[Refrain]

You take my breath away

[Verse 2]

You can reduce me to tears

With a single sigh (please don't cry anymore)

Every breath that you take, any sound that you make

Is a whisper in my ear

I could give up all my life for just one kiss

I would surely die

If you dismiss me from your love

[Refrain]

You take my breath away

[Bridge]

So please don't go

Don't leave me here all by myself

I get ever so lonely from time to time

I will find you anywhere you go

I'll be right behind you (ooh)

Right until the ends of the earth (aah)

I'll get no sleep 'till I find you (no sleep)

And tell you that you just

[Refrain]

Take my breath away

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

I will find you anywhere you go

Ooh

Right until the ends of the earth (aah)

I'll get no sleep 'till I find you (no sleep)

To tell you when I've found you

I love you

[Outro]

Ooh, take my breath

Ooh, take my breath away

Long Away Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

You might believe in heaven

I would not care to say

For every star in heaven

There's a sad soul here today

[Pre-Chorus]

Wake up in the morning with a good face

Stare at the moon all day

Lonely as a whisper on a star chase

Does anyone care anyway

For all the prayers in heaven

So much of life's this way

[Chorus]

Did we leave our way behind us

Such a long, long way behind us

Who knows when

Now who knows where

Where the light of day will find us?

Look for the day

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

Take heart, my friend, we love you

Though it seems like you're alone

A million lights above you

Smile down upon your home

[Pre-Chorus]

Hurry, put your troubles in a suitcase

Come let the new child play

Lonely as a whisper on a star chase

I'm leaving here, I'm long away

For all the stars in heaven

I would not live, I could not live this way

[Chorus]

Did we leave our way behind us?

Such a long, long way behind us

Leave it for some hopeless lane

[Outro]

(Such a long, long way

Such a long, long way

Such a long, long way)

Such a long, long away

I'm looking for, looking for that day

The Millionaire Waltz Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Bring out the charge of the love brigade

There is spring in the air once again

Drink to the sound of the song parade

There is music and love everywhere

Give a little love to me (I want it)

Take a little love from me

I wanna share it with you

I feel like a millionaire

[Verse 2]

Once we were mad

We were happy, we spent all our days

Holding hands together

Do you remember, my love

How we danced and played?

In the rain, we laid

How we wish that we could stay there

Forever and ever

[Verse 3]

Now I am sad, you are so far away

I sit, counting the hours day by day

Come back to me

How I long for your love

Come back to me

Be happy like we used to be (Uuh, Uuuuh)

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Come back, come back to me!

Oh come back to me, oh my love

How I long for your love

Won't you come back to me?

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

My fine friend

Take me wiz you Unt love me forever

My fine friend, forever (forever)

[Outro]

Bring out the charge of the love brigade

There is spring in the air once again

Drink to the sound of the song parade

There is music and love everywhere

Give a little love to me (I want it)

Take a little love from me

I wanna share it with you

Come back, come back to me

You make me feel

You make me feel like a millionaire

You and I Lyrics

[Intro]

Ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]

Music is playing in the darkness

And a lantern goes swinging by

Shadows flickering, my heart's jittering

Just you and I

Not tonight, come tomorrow

When everything's sunny

And bright (sunny and bright)

No, no, no, come tomorrow

Cause then we'll be

Waiting for the moonlight

[Chorus]

We'll go walking in the moonlight

Walking in the moonlight

[Verse 2]

Laughter ringing in the darkness

People drinking for days gone by

Time don't mean a thing

When you're by my side

Please stay a while

[Bridge]

Ooh, you know I never could

Foresee the future years (Doo-doo-dooroo-dooroo-dooroo-dooroo-dooroo-uuh)

You know I never could see

Where life was leading me (Doo-doo-dooroo-dooroo-dooroo-dooroo-dooroo-uuh)

But will we be together forever?

What will be my love?

Can't you see that I just don't know

Don't know (Uuuuh)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

No, no, not tonight, come tomorrow

When everything's gonna

Be alright (sunny and bright)

Wait and see if tomorrow

Will be as happy

As we're feeling tonight

[Chorus]

We'll go walking

In the moonlight (Oh, we'll be happy)

(Walking in the moonlight)

[Verse 4]

Ooh, I can hear the music in the darkness

Floating softly to where we lie

No more questions now (Ooh)

Let's enjoy tonight (Ooh)

(Just you and I)

Ooh, just you and I

[Outro]

Mm, just you and I

Can't you see that

We gotta be together, be together

Just you and I, just you and I

No more questions, just you and I

Oh, oh

[Instrumental Outro]

Somebody to Love Lyrics

[Intro]

Can anybody find me

Somebody to love?

[Verse 1]

Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little

Can barely stand on my feet

Take a look at yourself in the mirror and cry

Take a look in the mirror and cry

Lord, what you're doing to me? (Yeah, yeah)

I have spent all my years in believin' you

But I just can't get no relief, Lord

[Chorus]

Somebody (Somebody)

Ooh, somebody (Somebody)

Can anybody find me

Somebody to love?

Yeah

[Verse 2]

I work hard (He works hard) every day of my life

I work 'till I ache my bones

At the end (At the end of the day) I take home

My hard-earned pay all on my own

(Goes home, goes home on his own)

I get down (Down) on my knees (Knees) and I start to pray (Praise the Lord)

'Till the tears run down from my eyes, Lord

[Chorus]

Somebody (Somebody)

Ooh, somebody (Please)

Can anybody find me

Somebody to love?

[Bridge]

(He works hard) everyday (Everyday)

I try and I try and I try

But everybody wants to put me down

They say I'm going crazy

They say I got a lot of water in my brain

I got no common sense

(He's got) I got nobody left to believe

No, no, no, no

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, Lord)

Ooh, somebody

Ooh (Somebody)

Anybody find me

Somebody to love

Can anybody find me

Someone to love?

[Verse 3]

Got no feel, I got no rhythm

I just keep losing my beat (You just keep losing and losing)

I'm okay, I'm alright (He's alright, he's alright)

I ain't gonna face no defeat (Yeah, yeah)

I just gotta get out of this prison cell

(One day) Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord

[Outro]

Find me somebody to love

(Find me, find me)

Find me somebody to love (Find me)

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love-ove-ove

(Ooh, find me, find me)

Find me somebody to love

(Somebody to love)

Find me somebody to love

Somebody (Somebody)

Somebody (Find me)

(Somebody find me somebody to love)

Can anybody find me

Somebody to love?

(Find me somebody to love) Ooh

(Find me somebody to love)

Find me somebody

(Find me somebody to love)

Somebody, somebody, somebody to love

(Find me somebody to love)

Find me, find me

Find me, find me, find me

(Find me somebody to love)

Ooh, somebody to love

(Find me somebody to love)

Ooh, find me, find me

Find me somebody to love

(Find me somebody to love)

Anybody, anywhere, anybody

White Man Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I'm a simple man

With a simple name

From this soil, my people came

In this soil remain

Oh yeah

[Verse 2]

And we made us our shoes

And we trod soft on the land

But the immigrant built roads

On our blood and sand

Oh yeah

[Chorus]

White man, white man

Don't you see the light

Behind your blackened skies

(White man, white man)

You took away the sights

To blind my simple eyes, yeah

(White man, white man)

Where you gonna hide

From the hell you've made?

[Verse 3]

Oh, the red man knows war

With his hands and his knives

On the Bible you swore

Fought your battle with lies

Oh yeah

[Verse 4]

Leave my body in shame

Leave my soul in disgrace

But by every God's name

Say your prayers for your race

Oh yeah

[Chorus]

(White man, white man)

Our country was green

And all our rivers wide

White man, white man

You came with a gun

And soon our children died

White man, white man

Don't you give a light

For the blood you've shed?

Uuuh yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Oh-uh-oh

(White man, white man)

White man

(White man, white man)

Ooh, white man

You fought your battle with lies, yeah

(White man, white man)

On and on, on and on

But we weren't too civilized, yeah

(White man, white man)

Look around you

Take a look around

Every skin and bone

Yeah, I'll getcha, I'll getcha, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

What is left of your dream?

Just the words on your stone

A man who learned how to teach

Then forgot how to learn

Oh yeah

Good Old‐Fashioned Lover Boy Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can dim the lights and sing you songs

Full of sad things

We can do the tango, just for two

I can serenade and gently play

On your heart strings

Be a Valentino, just for you

[Chorus]

"Ooh love, ooh lover boy

What're you doing tonight?"

Set my alarm, turn on my charm

That's because I'm a good old-fashioned lover boy

[Verse 2]

Ooh, let me feel

Your heartbeat (Grow faster, faster)

Ooh, can you feel my love heat? (Ohh)

Come on and sit on my hot seat of love

And tell me how do you feel, right after all

I'd like for you and I to go romancing

Say the word, your wish is my command

[Chorus]

"Ooh love, ooh lover boy

What're you doing tonight? Hey boy"

Write my letter, feel much better

I'll use my fancy patter on the telephone

[Bridge: Freddie Mercury, Mike Stone]

When I'm not with you, think of you always

I miss you (I miss those long hot summer nights)

When I'm not with you, think of me always

Love you, love you

Hey boy where do you get it from?

Hey boy where did you go?

I learned my passion in the good old-fashioned

School of lover boys

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Dining at the Ritz, we'll meet at nine

(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine o'clock) precisely

I will pay the bill, you taste the wine

Driving back in style in my saloon will do quite nicely

Just take me back to yours, that will be fine (Come on and get it)

[Chorus]

Ooh love (There he goes again)

Ooh lover boy (Who's my good Old-fashioned lover boy?)

(Ooh ooh)

What're you doing tonight? Hey boy!

Everything's all right, just hold on tight

That's because I'm a good old

Fashioned (Fashioned) lover boy

Drowse Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's the sad-eyed goodbye

Yesterday moments I remember

It's the bleak street, weak-kneed

Partings I recall

[Pre-Chorus]

It's the mistier mist, the hazier days

The brighter sun and the easier lays

[Chorus]

There's all the more reason

For laughing and crying

When you're younger

And life isn't too hard at all

[Verse 2]

It's the fantastic drowse of the afternoon Sundays

That bored you to rages of tears

The unending pleadings to waste all your good times

In thoughts of your middle-aged years

[Pre-Chorus]

It's a vertical hold, all the things that you're told

For the everyday hero, it all turns to zero

[Chorus]

And there's all the more reason

For living or dying

When you're young

And your troubles are all very small

[Bridge]

Out here on the street, we'd gather and meet

And scuff up the sidewalk with endlessly restless feet

And half of the time we'd broaden our minds more

In the pool hall than we did in the school hall

With the downtown chewing-gum bums

Watching the nightlife, the lights and the fun

[Verse 3]

Never wanted to be the boy next door

Always thought I'd be something more

But it ain’t easy for a smalltown boy

It ain’t easy at all

[Outro]

Thinkin' it right, doin' it wrong

It's easier from an armchair

Waves of alternatives wash at my sleepiness

Have my eggs poached for breakfast, I guess

I think I'll be Clint Eastwood

Oh no, Jimi Hendrix, he was good

Let's try William the Conqueror

Now who else do I like?

Brian May

Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I'm gone

No need to wonder

If I ever think of you

The same moon shines

The same wind blows

For both of us

And time is but a paper moon

Be not gone

[Verse 2]

Though I'm gone

It's just as though I hold

The flower that touches you

A new life grows, the blossom knows

There's no one else

Could warm my heart as much as you

Be not gone

[English Chorus]

Let us cling together as the years go by

Oh my love, my love

In the quiet of the night

Let our candle always burn

Let us never lose

The lessons we have learned

[Japanese Chorus]

手を取り合ってこのまま行こう

愛する人よ

静かな宵に

光を灯し

愛しき教えを抱き

[Verse 3]

Hear my song

Still, think of me the way

You've come to think of me

The nights grow long

But dreams live on

Just close your pretty eyes

And you can be with me

Dream on

[Japanese Chorus]

手を取り合ってこのまま行こう

愛する人よ

静かな宵に

光を灯し

愛しき教えを抱き

[Bridge]

When I'm gone

They'll say we're all fools

And we don't understand

Oh, be strong

Don't turn your heart

We're all, you're all

For all, for always

[English Chorus]

Let us cling together as the years go by

Oh my love, my love

In the quiet of the night

Let our candle always burn

Let us never lose

The lessons we have learned
