We Will Rock You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise
Playing in the street
Gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place, singin'
[Chorus]
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
[Verse 2]
Buddy, you're a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street
Gonna take on the world someday
You got blood on your face
You big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place
[Chorus]
We will, we will rock you (Sing it, oh)
We will, we will rock you
[Verse 3]
Buddy, you're an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes
Gonna make you some peace someday
You got mud on your face
Big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place
[Chorus]
We will, we will rock you, sing it
We will, we will rock you
Everybody, we will, we will rock you
Hmm, we will, we will rock you
Alright
[Guitar Solo]

We Are the Champions Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
[Pre-Chorus]
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through (And I mean to go on and on, and on, and on)
[Chorus]
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
Of the world
[Verse 2]
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
[Pre-Chorus]
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose (And I mean to go on and on, and on, and on)
[Chorus]
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
Of the world
[Outro]
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end, oh
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

Sheer Heart Attack Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, you're just seventeen
All you wanna do is disappear
You know what I mean
There's a lot of space between our ears
The way that you touch don't feel nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
It was the DNA
Hey, hey, hey, hey
That made me this way
Do you know, do you know, do you know
Just how I feel?
Do you know, do you know, do you know
Just how I feel?
[Chorus]
Sheer heart attack
Sheer heart attack
Real cardiac
I feel so
Inar-inar-inar-inar-inar-inar-inar-inarticulate
[Verse 2]
Gotta feeling, gotta feeling
Gotta feeling, like I'm paralyzed
It ain't no, it ain't no
It ain't no, it ain't no surprise
Turn on the TV
Let it drip right down in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
It was the DNA
Hey, hey, hey, hey
That made me this way
Do you know, do you know, do you know
Just how I feel?
Do you know, do you know, do you know
Just how I feel?
[Chorus]
Sheer heart attack
Sheer heart attack
Real cardiac
I feel so inar-inar-inar-inar
Inar-inar-inar-inarticulate
[Bridge]
Just how I feel
Do you know, do you know, do you know
Just how I feel?
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know, do you know, do you know
Just how I feel?
Do you know, do you know, do you know
Just how I feel?
[Chorus]
Sheer heart attack
Sheer heart attack
Real cardiac

All Dead, All Dead Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
She came without a farthing
A babe without a name
So much ado about nothing
Is what she'd try to say
So much ado, my lover
So many games we played
Through every fleeted summer
Through every precious day
[Chorus]
All dead, all dead
All the dreams we had
And I wonder why I still live on
All dead, all dead
And alone I'm spared
My sweeter half instead
All dead and gone
All dead
[Chorus]
All dead, all dead
At the rainbow's end
And still I hear her own sweet song
All dead, all dead
Take me back again
You know my little friend's
All dead and gone
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Her ways are always with me
I wander all the while
But please, you must forgive me
I am old but still a child
[Chorus]
All dead, all dead
But I should not grieve
In time, it comes to everyone
All dead, all dead
But in hope I breathe
Of course, I don't believe
You're dead and gone
[Outro]
All dead and gone

Spread Your Wings Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sammy was low, just watchin' the show
Over and over again
Knew it was time, he'd made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind
His boss said to him, "Boy, you'd better begin
To get those crazy notions right out of your head
Sammy, who do you think that you are?
You should've been sweepin' up the Emerald Bar"
[Chorus]
Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Pull yourself together 'cause you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man
[Bridge]
He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
Keepin' his thoughts to himself
He'd be leaving soon
Wishin' he was miles and miles away
Nothin' in this world, nothin' would make him stay
[Verse 2]
Since he was small, had no luck at all
Nothin' came easy to him
Now it was time, he'd made up his mind
"This could be my last chance"
His boss said to him, "Now listen, boy! You're always dreamin'
You've got no real ambition, you won't get very far
Sammy boy, don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar?"
[Chorus]
So honey, spread your wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Pull yourself together 'cause you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man
[Outro]
Come on, honey
Fly with me
[Guitar Solo]

Fight From the Inside Lyrics

[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
Hey you, boy, hey you
Hey you boy, think that you
Know what you're doin'?
You think you're gonna
Set things to rights
You're just another picture
On a teenage wall
You're just another sucker
Ready for a fall
[Chorus]
You gotta fight from the inside
Attack from the rear
Fight from the inside
You can't win with your hands tied
Fight from the inside
Ooh, ooh, aah!
Fight from the inside
Right down the line
[Verse 2]
Hey you, boy, hey you
Hey you boy, think that you
Know what you're doin'?
You think that out
In the streets is all free
You're just another money-spinner tool
You're just another, fool
[Chorus]
You gotta fight from the inside
Attack from the rear
Fight from the inside
You can't win with your hands tied
Fight from the inside
Ooh, ooh, Aah!
Fight from the inside
Right down the line
[Outro]
Right down the line
Right down the line

Get Down, Make Love Lyrics

[Intro]
[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
[Verse 1]
You take my body, I give you heat
You say you're hungry, I give you meat
I suck your mind, you blow my head
Make love (Make love) inside your bed
Everybody get down, make love
[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
[Bridge]
Every time I get hot
You wanna cool down
Every time I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say it's enough
In fact, it's too much
Every time I get a
Get down, get down
Get down, make love
[Verse 2]
(Get down) I can squeeze
(Make love) you can shake me
(Get down) I can feel
(Make love) when you break me
(Get down) Come on so heavy (make love)
(Get down) when you take me
(Make love) You make love
You make love
(Get down) you make love
You make love
(Make love) You can make everybody
[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
[Bridge]
Every time I get high
You wanna come down
Every time I get hot
You say you want to cool down
You say it's enough
In fact, it's too much
Every time I wanna
Get down, get down, get down
[Instrumental Break]
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
Aah!
[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
[Bridge]
Every time I get hot
You wanna cool down
Every time I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say it's enough
In fact, it's just too much
Every time I wanna
Get down, get down
Get down, make love

Sleeping on the Sidewalk Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
I was nothin' but a city boy
My trumpet was my only toy
I've been blowin' my horn
Since I knew I was born
But there ain’t nobody wants to know
[Chorus]
I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk
Rollin' down the road
I may get hungry
But I sure don't wanna go home
[Verse 2]
So 'round the corner comes a limousine
And the biggest grin I ever seen
Hey, sonny, won't you sign
Right along the dotted line?
What you sayin', are you playin'
Sure you don't mean me?
[Chorus]
I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk
Rollin' down the road
I may get hungry
But I sure don't wanna go home
Now, I'll tell you what happened
[Bridge]
They took me to a room without a table
They said "blow your trumpet into here"
I played around as well as I was able
And soon we had the record of the year
[Verse 3]
I was a legend all through the land
I was blowin' to a million fans
Nothin' was a-missin'
All the people wanna listen
You'd have thought I was a happy man
[Chorus]
And I was sleepin' like a princess
Never touch the road
I don't get hungry
And I sure don't want to go home
Have to have some fun
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Now they tell me
That I ain’t so fashion-able
And that I owe the man
A million bucks a year
So I told 'em
Where to stick the fancy label
It's just me and the road from here, yeah
Back to playin' and layin'
I'm back on the game
[Chorus]
I'm sleepin' on the sidewalk
Rollin' down the road
I sure get hungry
And I sure do wanna go home
[Outro]
Yeah

Who Needs You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I make it half past six, you come at seven
Always try to keep me hanging round
You little spoilt thing
Girl, you kept me waiting
Never contemplating my point of view
[Chorus]
This comes as no surprise
I'm a fool for I believed your lies
But now I've seen through your disguise
Who needs, well, I don't need
Who needs you?
[Verse 2]
Oh, I believed you
Went on my knees to you
How I trusted you
But you turned me down
But it's dog eat dog in this rat race
And it leaves you bleeding
Lying flat on your face
Reaching out reaching out
For a helping hand
(Where is that helping hand?)
[Bridge]
Oh, muchachos
I like it, I like it
Well, I don't need you
[Verse 3]
How I was pushed around
Don't let it get you down
You walked all over me
But don't you ever give in
Taking one step forward
Slipping two steps back
There's an empty feeling
That you can't forget
Reaching out for a helping hand
[Verse 4]
When I met you
You were always charming
Couldn't sleep at night 'till you were mine
You were, oh, so, so sophisticated
Never interested in what I'd say
[Chorus]
I had to swallow my pride
So naïve you took me for a ride
But now I'm the one to decide
Who needs, well, I don't need
Who needs you?
[Instrumental Outro]

It’s Late Lyrics

[Intro]
[Scene 1]
You say you love me
And I hardly know your name
And if I say I love you in the candlelight
There's no one but myself to blame
But there's something inside
That's turning my mind away
Oh, how I could love you
If I could let you stay
[Chorus]
(It's late) When I'm bleeding deep inside
(It's late) Ooh, is it just my sickly pride?
(Too late) Even now
The feeling seems to steal away
(So late) Though I'm crying
I can't help but hear you say
It's late, it's late, it's late, but not too late
[Scene 2]
The way you love me
Is the sweetest love around
But after all this time, the more I'm trying
The more I seem to let you down
Now you tell me you're leaving
And I just can't believe it's true
Oh, you know that I can love you
Though I know I can't be true
Oh, you made me love you
Don't tell me that we're through
[Chorus]
(It's late) But it's driving me so mad
(It's late) Yes, I know
But don't try to tell me that it's
(Too late) Save our love
You can't turn out the lights
(So late) I've been wrong
But I'll learn to be right
It's late, it's late, it's late, but not too late
[Bridge]
I've been so long, you've been so long
We've been so long trying to work it out
I ain't got long, you ain't got long
We gotta know what this life is all about
[Guitar Solo]
Tell me
Try to work it out, yeah
Woo! Ooh
Too late, yeah
Too late, much too late
Ah!
[Scene 3]
You're staring at me
With suspicion in your eye
You say what game are you playing?
What's this that you're saying?
I know that I can't reply
If I take you tonight
Is it making my life a lie?
Oh, you make me wonder
Did I live my life right?
[Chorus]
(It's late) Ooh, but it's time to set me free
(It's late) Ooh yes, I know
But there's no way it has to be
(Too late) So let the fire
Take our bodies this night
(So late) Let the waters
Take our guilt in the tide, now
It's late, it's late, it's late, it's late
It's late, it's late, it's late
[Outro]
Oh, it's all too late
Whoa, oh, it's too late
Come on!
I'm late, too late, oh yeah
Whoa!

My Melancholy Blues Lyrics

[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
Another party's over
And I'm left cold sober
My baby left me for somebody new
I don't wanna talk about it
Want to forget about it
Wanna be intoxicated
With that special brew
[Bridge]
So come and get me, let me
Get in that sinking feeling
That says my heart
Is on an all time low
So don't expect me
To behave perfectly
And wear that sunny smile
My guess is I'm in
For a cloudy and overcast
Don't try and stop me
'Cause I'm heading
For that stormy weather soon
[Chorus]
I'm causing a mild sensation
With this new occupation
I'm permanently glued
To this extraordinary mood
So now move over
And let me take over
With my melancholy blues
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
I'm causing a mild sensation
With this new occupation
I'm in the news
I'm just getting used
To my new exposure
So come into my enclosure
And meet my melancholy blues
[Piano Solo Outro]
