1. Party (Queen)
We
had a good night jamming away
There was a full moon showing
And we wanted
to play
But in the cold light of day next morning
Party was over uh uh

We got love and we got style
And we got sex and I know I
know we got what it takes
Oh oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh
Why don't you come back

Come back and play (hey hey) come back and play

We had a food fight
in somebody's face
We were up all night singing (singing)
And giving a chase
But
in the cold light of day next morning
Everybody was hung over

2. Kashoggi's Ship (Queen)
Who said that my
party was all over
Huh huh I'm in pretty good shape
The best years of my
life are like a supernova
Huh huh perpetual craze I said that
Everybody
drank my wine - you get my drift
And then we took a holiday on Khashoggi's
ship - well
We really had a good good time they was all so sexy
We was bad
we was blitzed
All in all it was a pretty good trip
This big bad sucker
with a fist as big as your head
Wanted to get me I said go away
I said kiss
my ass honey
He pulled out a gun wanted to arrest me
I said uh uh uh babe
Now
listen no-one stops my party
No-one stops my party
No-one no-one no-one
stops my party
Just like I said
We were phased we was pissed
Just having
a total eclipse
That's good
This one's on me so let us do it just
right
This here one party don't get started 'till midnight
Everybody
party to the left - party to the right
????? do it all night alright alright
Should
I lay my hands on you all right (???????????)
Left - right
Left right no-one
stops my ...
3. The Miracle (Queen)
Every drop of rain that falls
in Sahara Desert says it all
It's a miracle
All God's creations great and
small
The Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal
That's a miracle
Test tube babies
being born
Mothers, fathers dead and gone
It's a miracle
We're having
a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
The wonders of this
world go on
The hanging Gardens of Babylon
Captain Cook and Cain and Able
Jimi
Hendrix to the Tower of Babel
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
It's
a miracle
The one thing we're all waiting for is peace on earth - an end
to war
It's a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle we're all waiting
for today
If every leaf on every tree could tell a story that would be a
miracle
If every child on every street had clothes to wear and food to eat
That's
a miracle
If all God's people could be free to live in perfect harmony
It's
a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for
us
Open hearts and surgery
(wonders of this world go on)
Sunday mornings
with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
But Mona Lisa just keeps
on smiling
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
(wonders of this
world go on)
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
It's a miracle
The
one thing (the one thing) we're all waiting for (we're all waiting for)
Is
peace on earth (peace on earth) and an end to war (an end to war)
It's a miracle
we need - the miracle
The miracle peace on earth and end to war today
That
time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
That time will
come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
That time will come one
day you'll see when we can all be friends
That time will come one day you'll
see when we can all be friends
4. I Want It All (Queen)
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

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

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 (give it all) I want it all
I want it all and I want it now
I want it all (yes I want it all) I want it
all (hey)
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)
Yeah
yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I want it all all all 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 (yeah yeah yeah) I want it all I want it
all and I want it
now

Incredible
how you can see right through me
Freddie Mercury

that you just can't place
Feel somethin' move that you just can't trace
When
something sits on the end of your bed
Don't turn around when you hear me tread

So I make my mark from the edge of the world
From the
edge of the world
From the edge of the world
Brian May Brian May
Now
I'm on your track and I'm in your mind

Breakthru (Queen)
When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A
new life is born
Somehow I have to make this final breakthrough
Now

'Cos

Honey you're touching something you're touching me

If I could only reach you
If
I could make you smile
If I could only reach you

breakthrough - oh yeah

Breakthrough
to the sunshine from the rain
Make my feelings known towards you
Turn my
heart inside and out for you now
Somehow I have to make this final breakthrough
Now!
Your
smile speaks books to me
I break up
With each and every one of your looks
at me
Honey you're starting something deep inside of me
Honey you're sparking
something this fire in me

I wanna rush headlong into this
ecstasy
If I could only reach you

Rain Must Fall (Queen)
I can see it in your stars
Life is so exciting
Acting
so bizzare
Your world is so inviting
Playing really cool
And looking
so mysterious honey
Your every day is full of sunshine
But into every life
a little rain must fall
No problem
Uh
Be cool now
Anyone who
imagines
They can blind you with science
Bully you all over
With property
and finance
But you have the position
To call the shots and name the price
honey
You found success and recognition
But into every life a little rain
must fall
Flo Jo
You lead a fairy tale existance
But into every
life a little rain must fall
Be cool
Hah
Kiss kiss
Others seem
to think
You are over dramatising
Problems at work
So it's hardly suprising
There's
little you can do
To alter their opinions honey
You want a clean reputation
But
now you're facing complications
'Cos into every life a little rain must fall
Be
cool
Get serious
Alright

Play it nice and
cool

One more time

8. Scandal

Scandal - now you've left me all the world's gonna know
Scandal

They'll see the heart ache,
they'll see the love break
They'll hear me pleading, We'll say for God's sake
Over
and over and over again
Scandal - now you've left me there's no healing
the wounds
Hey scandal - and all the world can make us out to be fools
Here
come the bad news, open the flood gates
They'll leave us bleeding, we'll say
you cheapskates
Over and over and over again
So let them know when they
stare it's just a private affair
They'll have us hung in the air and tell me
what do they care
It's only a life to be twisted and broken
They'll see
the heart ache, they'll see our love break - yeah
They'll hear me pleading,
I'll say for God's sake
Over and over and over and over again
Scandal

Scandal
Scandal yes you're breaking my heart again
Scandal

Today the headlines tomorrow hard times
And

And in the end the story deeper
must hide
Deeper and deeper and deeper inside
Scandal scandal

10. Was It All Worth It (Queen)
What is there
left for me to do in this life
Did I achieve what I had set in my sights
Am
I a happy man or is this sinking sand
Was it all worth it was it all worth
it
Yeah now hear my story let me tell you about it
We bought a drum kit
blew my own trumpet
Played the circuit thought we were perfect
Was it all
worth it
Giving all my heart and soul and staying up all night
Was it all
worth it
Living breathing rock'n'roll a godforsaken life
Was it all worth
it was it all worth it all these years
Put down our money without counting
the cost
It didn't matter if we won if we lost
Yes we were vicious yes we
could kill
Yes we were hungry yes we were brill
We served a purpose like
a bloody circus
We were so dandy we love you madly
Was it all worth it
Living
breathing rock'n'roll this godforsaken life
Was it all worth it was it all
worth it
When the hurly burly's done
We went to Bali saw God and Dali
So
mystic surrealistic
Was it all worth it yeah yeah
Giving all my heart and
soul staying up all night
Was it all worth it
Living breathing rock'n'roll
this never ending fight
Was it all worth it was it all worth it
Yes it was
a worthwhile experience
It was worth it.
