Letra
Words and music by freddie mercury You suck my blood like a leech You break the law and you preach Screw my brain till it hurts You've taken all my money And you want more Misguided old mule with your pig headed rules With your narrow minded cronies Who are fools of the first division Death on two legs You're tearing me apart Death on two legs You've never had a heart of your own Kill joy bad guy big talking small fry You're just an old barrow boy Have you found a new toy to replace me? Can you face me? But now you can kiss my ass goodbye Feel good are you satisfied? Do you feel like suicide? (i think you should) Is your conscience all right Does it plague you at night? Do you feel good feel good? You talk like a big business tycoon You're just a hot air balloon So no one gives you a damn You're just an overgrown schoolboy Let me tan your hide A dog with disease You're the king of the 'sleaze' Put your money where your mouth is Mister know-all Was the fin on your back Part of the deal? (shark) Death on two legs You're tearing me apart Death on two legs You've never had a heart (you never did) of your own (right from the start) Insane you should be put inside You're a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride Should be made unemployed Then make yourself null and void Make me feel good i feel good - Killer QueenShe keeps Moet et Chandon In a pretty cabinet "Let them eat cake", she says Just like Marie Antoinette Building a remedy For Kruschev and Kennedy At anytime an invitation You can't decline Caviar and cigarettes Well versed in etiquette Extraordinarily nice Chorus: She's a killer queen Gunpowder, Gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind (Anytime) Recommended at the price Insatiable in 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 Minor But then again incidentally If you're that way inclined Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally) For cars she couldn't care less Fastidious and precise Chorus: 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 She'll absolutely drive you wild, wild... She's out to get you Chorus: She's a killer queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind (Anytime) Recommended at the price Insatiable in appetite Wanna try? You wanna try.

Oh, I used to be your baby Used to be your pride and joy You used to take me dancing Just like any other boy But now you've found another partner You've left me like a broken toy Oh, it's someone else you're taking Someone else you're playing to Honey though I'm aching Know just what I have to do If I can't have you when I'm waking I'll go to sleep and dream I'm with you Oh, take me, take me, take me To the dreamer's ball I'll be right on time and I'll dress so fine You're going to love me when you see me I won't have to worry Take me, take me Promise not to wake me 'till it's morning It's all been true What you say about that, hey, honey?

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 stolen my love and 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 everythings 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. Hurry back hurry back, Don't take it away from me, Because you don't know what it means to me. Love of my life, Love of my life.

In the year of thirty-nine 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'll take your hand In the land that our grand-children knew In the year of thirty-nine Came a ship 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 darlin' we'll away But my love this cannot be Oh, so many years have gone Though I'm older than a year Your mothers 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'll take your hand In the land that our grand-children 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 - Keep Yourself AliveI was told a million times Of all the troubles in my way How I had to keep on trying Little better evry day But if I crossed a million rivers And I rode a million miles Then Id still be where I started Bread and butter for a smile Well I sold a million mirrors In a shop in alley way But I never saw my face In any window any day Well they say your folks are telling you To be a super star But I tell you just be satisfied To stay right where you are Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive Itll take you all your time and a money Honey youll survive Well Ive loved a million women In a belladonic haze And I ate a million dinners Brought to me on silver trays Give me evrything I need To feed my body and my soul And Ill 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 trying And get better evry day But if I crossed a million rivers And I rode a million miles Then Id still be where I started Still be where I started Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive Itll take you all your time and money honey Youll survive Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive Itll take you all your time and money To keep me satisfied Do you think youre better evry day No I just think Im two steps nearer to my grave Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive mm You take your time and take your money Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive Itll take you all your time and a money To keep me satisfied Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself alive Take you all your time and money honey You will survive Keep you satisfied Keep you satisfied

Tarry with me pray Nothing 'ere need come between us Tell me, love, what do you say? Oh, no, I must away to my mum in disarray If my mother should discover how I spent my holiday It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air I'll say farewell Oh, rock of ages do not crumble Love is breathing still Oh, lady moon, shine down A little people magic if you will Jenny pines away writes a letter ev'ry day We must ever be together Nothing can my love erase Oh, no, I'm compromised I must apologize if my lady should discover How I spent my holidays - Bohemian Rhapsody[Intro] Is this the real life?
