Quarter
Flash
Queen
39
In the year of '39 assembled here
the Volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the
blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen.
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls
inside
For many a lonely day sailed
across the milky seas
Never looked back, never feared,
never cried.
Don't you hear my call though
you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our
grandchildren knew.
In the year of '39 came a ship
in from the blue
The volunteers came home that
day
And they bring good news of a
world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily
weigh
For the earth is old and grey,
little darling we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone
though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from your
eyes cry to me.
Don't you hear my call though
you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our
grandchildren knew.
Don't you hear my call though
you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand
cannot heal me like your hand
For my life
Still ahead
Pity Me.

| Bohemian
Rhapsody
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no
sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows doesn't
really matter to me, to me.
Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's
dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it
all away.
Mama, ooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time
tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing
really matters.
Too late, my time has come,
Sent shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to
go,
Gotta leave you all behind and
face the truth.
Mama, ooh (anyway the wind
blows),
I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been
born at all.
I see a little silhouetto of a
man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will
you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening me.
(Galileo) Galileo.
(Galileo) Galileo,
Galileo Figaro
Magnifico.
I'm just a poor boy, nobody
loves me.
He's just a poor boy from a poor
family,
Spare him his life from this
monstrosity.
Easy come, easy go, will you
let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let
you go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you
go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you
go. (Let me go!)
Will not let you go. (Let me
go!)
Never, never let you go
Never let me go, oh.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama
mia, let me go.)
Beelzebub has a devil put aside
for me, for me, for me.
So you think you can stone me
and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and
leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me,
baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta
get right outta here.
(Oh, yeah, oh yeah)
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.
Anyway the wind blows.

Good old
fashioned lover boy
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 your Valentino just for you
Ooh love, ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey,
boy?
Set my alarm, turn on my charm
That's because I'm a good
old-fashioned loverboy
Ooh, let me feel your heartbeat
(grow faster, faster)
Ooh, ooh, can you feel my love
heat?
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
Ooh love, ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey,
boy?
Write my letter
Feel much better
And use my fancy patter on the
telephone
When I'm not with you
Think of you always
(I miss those long hot summer
nights)
I miss you
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 loverboys
Dining at the Ritz we'll meet
at nine precisely
(one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine o'clock)
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)
Ooh love (there he goes again),
(he's my good old fashioned
loverboy) ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey,
boy?
Everything's all right
Just hold on tight
That's because I'm a good
old-fashioned (fashioned) loverboy

I want it
all
Adventure seeker on an empty
street,
Just an alley creeper, light on
his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no
time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see
a way out,
It ain't much I'm asking, I heard
him say,
Gotta find me a future move out of
my way,
I want it all, I want it all, I
want it all, and I want it now,
I want it all, I want it all, I
want it all, and I want it now,
Listen all you people, come
gather round
I gotta get me a game plan,
gotta shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is
mine,
People do you hear me, just give
me the sign,
It ain't much I'm asking, if you
want the truth
Here's to the future for the
dreams of youth,
I want it all, I want it all, I
want it all, and I want it now,
I want it all, I want it all, I
want it all, and I want it now,
I'm a man with a one track
mind,
So much to do in one life time
(people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and
where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all, yes I'm
living it all,
And I'm giving it all, and I'm
giving it all,
It ain't much I'm asking, if you
want the truth,
Here's to the future, hear the
cry of youth,
I want it all, I want it all, I
want it all, and I want it now,
I want it all, I want it all, I
want it all, and I want it now,
[etc.]

I want to
break free
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your
lies
You're so self satisfied I don't
need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to
break free.
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the
first time
And this time I know it's for
real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen
in love.
It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you
love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh how I want to be free,
Oh how I want to break free.
But life still goes on
I can't get used to, living
without, living without,
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my
own
So baby can't you see
I've got to break free.
I've got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want
to break free.

I was born
to love you
I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of
you
Every single day...
[chorus:]
I was born to love you
With every single beat of my
heart
Yes, I was born to take care of
you
Every single day of my life
You are the one for me
I am the man for you
You were made for me
You're my ecstasy
If I was given every opportunity
I'd kill for your love
So take a chance with me
Let me romance with you
I'm caught in a dream
And my dream's come true
It's so hard to believe
This is happening to me
An amazing feeling
Comin' through
[chorus]
I wanna love you
I love every little thing about
you
I wanna love you, love you, love
you
Born - to love you
Born - to love you
Yes I was born to love you
Born - to love you
Born - to love you
Every single day - of my life
An amazing feeling
Coming through
[chorus]
Yes I was born to love you
Every single day of my life
Go, I love you babe
Yes I was born to love you
I wanna love you, love you, love
you
I wanna love you
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
Yeah, I want to love you
Yeah, give it to me

I'm going
slightly mad
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
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - ooh oh
It finally happened - I'm slightly
mad
Oh dear!
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, I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened uh huh
It finally happened I'm slightly
mad - oh dear!
I'm knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast its true
I'm driving only three wheels
these days
But my dear how about you?
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened oh yes
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad!
Just very slightly mad!
And there you have it! |

Innuendo
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
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
Tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin' yeah
Just passing our time
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
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
We'll tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin'
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Through the sorrow all through
our splendor
Don't take offence at my
innuendo
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
Oooh, ooh -
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
Oh yes we'll keep on trying
Hey tread that fine line
Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah
And whatever will be - will be
We'll just keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

Is this
the world we created
Just think of all those hungry
mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering
we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all
around
Searching for what they need.
Is this the world we created
What did we do it for
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law
So it seems in the end
Is this what we're all living
for today
The world that we created.
You know that everyday a
helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care
inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is
sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by.
Is this the world we created,
we made it on our own
Is this the world we devasted,
right to the bone
If there's a God in the sky
looking down
What can he think of what we've
done
To the world that He created.

Its a hard
life
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with
a broken heart.
This is a tricky situation -
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone -
You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take
with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
But now you say it's over and
I'm falling apart.
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each
others hearts -
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right
from the start
When you're in love -
I try and mend the broken
pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of
mind
But it happens to everyone -
How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down
to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to
fall from the skies
Waiting for love.
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each
others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right
from the start
When you're in love -
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with
sorrow
There are people searching for
love in every way -
It's a long hard fight -
But I'll always live for
tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say
I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love
- oh I did it for love.

Killer queen
She keeps Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake,' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from
Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's as willing
as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild,
wild..
She's all out to get you
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try...

Love of my
life
Love of my life, you've hurt me,
You've broken my heart and now you
leave me.
Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me because
you don't know what it means to me.
Love of my life, don't leave
me,
You've taken my love, you now
desert me,
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me
because you don't know what it means to me.
You will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to
remind you how I still love you, I still love
you.
Back, hurry back,
Please, bring it back home to me
because you don't know what it means to me.
Love of my life
Love of my life...

No one but
you
A hand above the water
An angel reaching for the sky
Is it raining in Heaven -
Do you want us to cry?
And everywhere the
broken-hearted
On every lonely avenue
No-one could reach them
No-one but you
One by one
Only the Good die young
They're only flyin' too close to
the sun
And life goes on -
Without you...
Another Tricky Situation
I get to drownin' in the Blues
And I find myself thinkin'
Well - what would you do?
Yea! - it was such an operation
Forever paying every due
Hell, you made a sensation
You found a way through - and
One by one
Only the Good die young
They're only flyin' too close to
the sun
We'll remember -
Forever...
And now the party must be over
I guess we'll never understand
The sense of your leaving
Was it the way it was planned?
And so we grace another table
And raise our glasses one more
time
There's a face at the window
And I ain't never, never sayin'
goodbye...
One by one
Only the Good die young
They're only flyin' too close to
the sun
Cryin' for nothing
Cryin' for no-one
No-one but you

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the
mirror and cry (and cry)
Lord, what you're doing to me (yeah yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work 'til I ache in my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray
'Til the tears run down from my eyes
Lord, somebody (somebody), ooh somebody
(Please) can anybody find me somebody to love?
Everyday (everyday)…
