Sobre el álbum
"Queen Rocks", de 1997, es una compilación temática y una celebración de la faceta más potente de la banda liderada por Freddie Mercury. A diferencia de sus "Grandes Éxitos" más conocidos este álbum se concentra exclusivamente en el hard rock. La banda selecciona sus canciones más enérgicas y guitarreras, dejando de lado el pop y las baladas.El disco es una descarga de adrenalina de principio a fin. Por ejemplo, incluye clásicos contundentes como "Tie Your Mother Down", "Hammer to Fall" o el proto-thrash de "Stone Cold Crazy". El corazón del álbum es la única canción nueva. Concretamente, "No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young)" es una emotiva balada que los tres miembros restantes compusieron como tributo a Freddie Mercury.
Ciertamente, este recopilatorio muestra un lado de la banda que a veces queda eclipsado por sus éxitos más comerciales. Funciona como un recordatorio del poderío de Queen como una auténtica banda de rock. "Queen Rocks" es una colección excepcional y un documento indispensable para quienes aprecian la fuerza y la energía de sus composiciones más viscerales.

- I Can't Live With You
Letra
I can't live with you But I can't live without you I can't let you stay Ooh but I can't live if you go away I don't know just how it goes All I know is I can't live with you Yeah I'm having a hard time I'm walking a fine line between hope and despair You may think that I don't care But I travelled a long road to get hold of my sorrow I tried to catch a dream But nothing's what it seems Love is saying baby it's all right When deep inside you're really petrified Lover turns to hater On this escalator I can't live with you - yeah But I can't live without you I can't breathe if you stay But I can't bear you to go away I don't know what time it is All I know is I can't live with you We're stuck in a bad place We're trapped in a rat race And we can't escape Maybe there's been some mistake We're trying to make a high score We're walking through a closed door And nobody's winning We're just sinning against ourselves Hold on baby tell me it's all right Anger's breaking from the hurt inside Passions screaming hotter Doin' what we gotta do - yeah I can't live with you I can't live with you I can't live I can't live I can't I can't live with you But baby I'll never ever leave you I can't live with you But I can't live without you Cause I'm in love with you Ooh and everything about you I can't live with you No I just can't live I just can't live I can't live with you Yeah and I can't live without you Through the madness through the tears We've still got each other For a million years - yeah Ooh yeah Yeah - I can't live without you - yeah yeah I can't live without you Yeah yeah oh oh oh I can't live without you I can't live without you I can't live without you Oh oh I can't live without you baby baby baby Without you I can't live without you - Hammer to FallWords and music by brian may Here we stand or here we fall History wont care at all Make the bed light the light Lady mercy wont be home tonight yeah You don't waste no time at all Don't hear the bell but you answer the call It comes to you as to us all Were just waiting For the hammer to fall Oh evry night and every day A little piece of you is falling away But lift your face the western way Build your muscles as your body decays yeah Toe your line and play their game yeah Let the anaesthetic cover it all Till one day they call your name You know it's time for the hammer to fall Rich or poor or famous For your truth it's all the same (oh no oh no) Lock your door the rain is pouring Through your window pane (oh no) Baby now your struggles all in vain For we who grew up tall and proud In the shadow of the mushroom cloud Convinced our voices can't be heard We just wanna scream it louder and louder louder What the hell we fighting for? Just surrender and it wont hurt at all You just got time to say your prayers While your waiting for the hammer to hammer to fall Its gonna fall Hammer.. You know.. Hammer to fall Waiting for the hammer to fall now baby While you're waiting for the hammer to fall Give it to me one more time

- It's Late
Letra
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 It's late, but I'm bleeding deep inside It's late, 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 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 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 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 Too late much too late 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 alright? It's late, but it's time to set me free It's late, 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, so let the waters take our guilt in the tide It's late it's late it's late it's late It's late it's late It's all too late - No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young)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 flying too close to the Sun And life goes on Without you Another tricky situation A get to drowin' in the blues And I find myself thinkin' Well - what would you do? Yes! - 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
