Reseña

Un genuino álbum de hard rock publicado por la banda Queen en 1974 y cuya grabación hubo de realizarse en dos fases, al caer enfermo su guitarrista Brian May. En una primera etapa se grabaron todos los instrumentos y las voces, excepto las partes correspondientes a May. Posteriormente se solapó el sonido de su guitarra, dando como resultado un sonido espectral, con temas como "Brighton Rock", "Now I'm Here" y "Stone Cold Crazy".

El álbum incluía también una balada compuesta por Freddie Mercury titulada "Lily of the Valley", en la que Mercury toca el piano y fabrica todos los coros un un tema de menos de dos minutos de duración.

"Dear Friends" es una balada muy lenta, compuesta por Brian May e interpretada por al piano por el propio May, con las voces de Freddie Mercury. Se trata de un tema de una duración extraordinariamente corta, tan solo un minuto y seis segundos.

Pero sin duda, el tema estrella del álbum es el titulado "Killer Queen". Compuesto por Mercury, según él mismo confesó, un día sentado frente al piano, fue grabado en los estudios Rockfield en Gales, contando con la colaboración del productor británico Roy Thomas Baker. En el mismo, se nota la superposición de la guitarra de May sobre el resto de los sonidos. El tema de la canción trata de una mujer de clase alta que trabaja como prostituta.

En otro de los temas de "Sheer Heart Attack", "Misfire", el bajista John Deacon nos trae ciertos aires caribeños en el primer tema compuesto por él mismo para la banda.

Brighton RockVer letra

letra de Brighton Rock
Happy little day, Jimmy went away
Met his little Jenny on a public holiday
A happy pair they made so decorously laid
'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade
It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air
I'll weave my spell

Jenny will you stay? 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
Killer QueenVer letra

letra de Killer Queen
She 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.

letra de Tenement Funster
My new purple shoes
Bin' amazin' the people next door
And my rock 'n roll 45's
Bin' enragin' the folks on the lower floor

I got a way with girls on my block
Try my best be a real individual
And when we go down to smokies and rock
They line up like it's some kinda ritual

Oh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or, just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place

I like the good things in life
But most of the best things ain't free
And this same situation, just cuts like a knife
When you're young, and you're poor, and you're crazy

But oh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or, just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place

Flick of the WristVer letra

[X]
letra de Flick of the Wrist
Dislocate your spine if you don't sign, he says
I'll have you seeing double
Mesmerize you when he's tongue-tied
Simply with those eyes
Synchronize your minds and see
The beast within him rise

Don't look back
Don't look back
It's a rip-off
Flick of the wrist and you're dead, baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad
Flick of the wrist
He'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time honey
Baby, you've been had

Intoxicate your brain with what I'm saying
If not you'll lie in knee
Deep trouble
Prostitute yourself he says
Castrate your human pride
Sacrifice your leisure days
Let me squeeze you till you've dried

Don't look back
Don't look back
It's a rip-off

Work my fingers to my bones
I scream with pain
I still make no impression
Seduce you with his money-make machine
Cross-collateralize, (big-time money, money)
Reduce you to a muzak-fake machine
Then the last goodbye
It's a rip-off

Flick of the wrist and you're dead, baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad
Flick of the wrist
He'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time, honey
Baby, you've been had

Lily of the ValleyVer letra

letra de Lily of the Valley
I am for ever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no?
Neptune of the seas
An answer for me please
The lily of the valley doesn't know

I lie and wait with open eyes
I carry on through stormy skies
I follow every course
My Kingdom for a Horse
But each time I grow ols
Serpent of the Nile
Relieve me for a while
And cast me from you're spell, let me go

Messenger from seven seas has flown
To tell the King of Rhye he's lost his Throne
Wars will never cease
Is there time enough for peace
For the lily of the valley doesn't know
Composición: Freddie Mercury

letra de Now I'm Here
Here I stand (here I stand)
Look around around around around
(around around around around)
But you won't see me (you won't see me)
Now I'm here (now I'm here)
Now I'm there (now I'm there)
I'm just a just a new man
Yes you made me live again

A baby I was when you took my hand
And the light of the night burned bright
And the people all stared didn't understand
But you knew my name on sight
Whatever came of you and me?
America's new bride to be
Don't worry baby I'm safe and sound
Down in the dungeon just peaches and me
Don't I love her so?
Yes she made me live again yeah!

A thin moon me in the smoke screen sky
Where the beams of your love light chase
Don't move don't speak don't feel no pain
With the rain running down my face
Your matches still light up the sky
And many a tear lives on in my eye
Down in the city just hoople and me
Don't I love him so don't I love him so?

Whatever comes of you and me
I love to leave my memories with you

Now I'm here (now I'm here)
Think I'll stay around around around
(around around around around)
Down in the city just you and me
(down in the city just you and me)

Don't I love you so?

Go, go, go, little Queenie

Ah ah ah ah ah

Leave it in the lap of the gods

I live my life for you
Think all my thoughts with you and only you
Anything you ask I do for you

But in the end I leave it to the lords
Leave it in the lap of the gods
What more can I do?

Words and music by freddie mercury,brian may,roger
Taylor and john deacon

Sleeping very soundly on a saturday morning
I was dreaming I was al capone
There's a rumour going round
Gotta clear outa town
Im smelling like a dry fish bone
Here come the law gonna break down the door
Gonna carry me away once more
Never never I never want it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
Crazy stone cold crazy you know

Rainy afternoon I gotta blow a typhoon
And Im playing on my slide trombone
Anymore anymore cannot take it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
Crazy stone cold crazy you know

Walking down the street
Shooting people that I meet
With my rubber tommy water gun
Here come the deputy
Hes gonna come and get me
I gotta get me up and run
They got the sirens loose
I ran right outa juice
They're gonna put me in a cell
If I can't go to heaven
Will they let me go to hell?
Crazy stone cold crazy you know

Words and music by brian may

So dear friends
Your love has gone
Only tears to dwell upon
I dare not say
As the wind must blow
So a love is lost
A love is won
Go to sleep and dream again
Soon your hopes will rise
And then from all this gloom
Life can start anew
And therell be no crying soon

Don't you misfire
Fill me up
With the desire
To carry on

Don't you know honey, that love's a game
It's always hit or miss, so take your aim
Got to hold on tight, shoot me out of sight

Don't you misfire
Don't you misfire

Your gun is loaded, and pointing my way
There's only one bullet, so don't delay
Got to time it right, fire me through the night

Come on, take a shot
Fire me higher
Don't you miss this time
Please don't misfire, misfire

letra de She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettoes)
I love, she makes me
She is my heart
She is my love
She is my love

I know, I'm jealous of her
She makes me need
She is my love
She is my love

Who knows who she'll make me
As I lie in her cocoon
But the world will surely heal my ills
I'm warm and terrified
She makes me so

I know, the day I leave her
I'd love her still
She is my love
She is my love

Who knows where my dreams will end
I'll follow as they grow
But the world will know
How long I'll take
And if I'm very slow
She makes me so
She is my love
She is my love

letra de In the Lap of the Gods...Revisited
It's so easy but I can't do it
So risky
But I gotta chance it
It's so funny
There's nothing to laugh about
My money
That's all you want to talk about
I can see what you want me to be
But I'm not fool

It's in the lap of the Gods
I can see what you want me to be
But I'm no fool

No beginning there's no ending
There's no meaning
In my pretending
Believe me life goes on and on and on
Forgive me when I ask you
Where do I belong
You say
I can't set you free from me
But that's not true

It's in the lap of the Gods
I can see what you want me to be
But I'm no fool
It's in the lap of the Gods
Wo wo la la la wo
Wo wo la la
Wah wah ooh
But that's not true
It's in the lap of the Gods
