Queen

Sheer heart attack
Sheer heart attack
bbcode
Brighton rock
Killer queen
Tenement funster
Flick of the wrist
Lily of the valley
Now I'm here
In the lap of the gods
Stone cold crazy
Dear friends
Misfire
Bring back that leroy brown
She makes me (stormtrooper in stilettos)
In the lap of the gods... revisited
Brighton rock
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
"Jenny will you stay, tarry with me, pray
Nothing e'er 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

[Chorus]
Oh, Rock of Ages
Do not crumble, love is breathing still
Oh, Lady Moon, shine down
A little people magic if you will

[Instrumental Guitar Break 01:37-04:35]

[Verse 3]
Jenny pines away, writes a letter everyday
"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
Ooh
Ooh, ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

[Outro]

Killer queen
[Verse 1]
She keeps Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake," she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy (Ooh, ooh)
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline (Ooh, ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
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
(Pa-pa-pa-pa) Anytime
Ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

[Verse 2]
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 (Ooh, ooh)
(Killer, killer, she's a killer queen)
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined

[Pre-Chorus]
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
(Pa-pa-pa-pa)
Anytime

[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussycat (Ooh)
Then momentarily out of action (Ooh)
Temporarily out of gas (Ta-taaa)
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's out to get you

[Chorus]
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam (Pa-pa-pa-ra)
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try

Tenement funster
[Verse 1]
My new purple shoes
Been amazin' the people next door
And my rock 'n roll 45's
Been enragin' the folks on the lower floor
I've got a way with the 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 kind of ritual

[Chorus]
Ooh, 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
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
(Young and you're crazy)
(Young and you're crazy)
(Young and you're crazy)
Young and you're crazy!

[Chorus]
Ooh, 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 wrist
[Segue: Guitar Solo and Piano Intro]

[Verse 1]
"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

[Pre-Chorus]
(Don't look back)
(Don't look back)
It's a rip-off

[Chorus]
(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

[Verse 2]
"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"

[Pre-Chorus]
(Don't look back)
(Don't look back)
It's a rip-off

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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)

[Chorus]
(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 valley
Baby, you've been had

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I am, forever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no?
Neptune of the seas (seas)
Have answer for me, please (please)
The lily of the valley (valley)
Doesn't know

[Bridge]
I lie in wait with open eyes (oo-ooh)
I carry on through stormy skies (oo-oo-oo-ooh)
I follow every course (follow every course)
My kingdom for a horse (kingdom for a horse)
But each time I grow old (oo-oo-oo-wah)
Serpent of the Nile (Nile)
Relieve me for a while (while)
And cast me from your spell and let me go (oo-oo-ooh, let me go)

[Verse 2]
Messenger from Seven Seas has flown (ooh, oo-oo-ooh)
To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne (Aah)
Wars will never cease (cease)
Is there time enough for peace? (peace)
But the lily of the valley (valley)
Doesn't know
[Outro]

Now I'm here
[Intro]
Here I stand (Here I stand)
Look around, around
Around, around, around
But you won't see me
Now I'm here (Now I'm here) (Now I'm here)
Now I'm there (Now I'm there) (Now I'm there)
I'm just a, just a new man
Yes, you made me live again

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Whatever came of you and me
America's new bride to be
Ooh, don't worry, baby
I'm safe and sound

[Chorus]
Down in the dungeon just Peaches and me
Don't I love her so?
Yeah, she made me live again
Yeah

[Verse 2]
A thin moon me in a 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Your matches still light up the sky
And many a tear lives on in my eye

[Chorus]
Down in the city just Hoople and me
Don't I love him so?
Ooh, don't I love him so?

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Whatever comes of you and me
I'd love to leave my memory with you

[Verse 3]
Now I'm here (now I'm here)
Think I'll stay around, around (think I'll stay around, around)
Around, around, around, around (around, around, around, around)
Down in the city just as you and me (down in the city just as you and me)
Don't I love you so
[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Go, go, go, little queenie!
(Woo!)

In the lap of the gods
[Intro]
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaaaaaaaah
Aaa-aaaah, aah (uu-uh)
Aah, leave it in the lap of the gods

[Verse]
I live my life for you
Think all my thoughts
With you and only you
Anything you ask I do, for you
I touch your lips with mine
But in the end, I leave it to the lords
Leave it in the lap of the gods
What more can I do?

[Chorus]
Leave it in the lap of the gods
(I leave it to you)
Leave it in the lap of the gods
Leave it in the lap of the gods
(I want you to) (Aaaaaaaah)
Leave it in the lap of the gods
Leave it in the lap of the gods (Aaaaaaaah)
Leave it in the lap of the gods

Lap of the gods
Lap of the gods (Aaaaaaaaah)
Lap of the gods (Aaaaaaaaah)

Stone cold crazy
[Guitar Intro]

[Verse 1]
Sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning
I was dreaming I was Al Capone
There's a rumour going round
Gotta clear out of town
Yeah, I'm smelling like a dry fish bone
Here come the law
Gonna break down the door
Gonna carry me away once more
Never, never, never get it any more
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor

[Chorus]
Crazy (stone cold crazy, you know)
Woo! Aw!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Rainy afternoon, I gotta blow a typhoon
And I'm playing on my slide trombone
Anymore, anymore, cannot take it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
Crazy (stone cold crazy, aw! You know)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Walking down the street, shooting people that I meet
With my rubber tommy water gun
Here come the deputy
He's gonna come and getta me
I gotta get me get up and run
They got the sirens loose
I ran right outta juice
They're going to put me in a cell
If I can't go to heaven
Will they let me go to hell?

[Chorus]
Crazy (stone cold crazy, you know)

[Outro]
Ow!

Dear friends
[Verse]
So dear friends your love is 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 there'll be no crying soon

Misfire
[Intro]
Don't you misfire
Fill me up with the desire
To carry on

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Don't you misfire, fill me up
With the desire to carry on (Uuuuuuu-ah, uuuuuuu-aaaaaah)
Don't you misfire, fill me up
With the desire to carry on

[Verse 2]
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

[Outro]
(Uuuuh)
Come on, take a shot
Fire me higher
Don't you miss this time
Please don't misfire (Aaaah)
Misfire

Big, bad Leroy Brown
He got no common sense (no, no)
He got no brains

Got to get out the heat
Step into the shade

Dead or alive (babe)

Big mama Lulu Belle
She had a nervous breakdown
(She had a nervous breakdown)
Leroy's taken her honey Chile away
But she met him down
At the station (ooo-hoo)
Put a shotgun to his head
And unless I be mistaken (mistaken)
This is what she said
"Big bad big boy, big bad Leroy Brown
I'm gonna get that cutie pie"

Bring back that Leroy Brown (yeah)

Big bad caused a mighty
Fine sensation (yeah, yeah)
Gone and got himself elected President

Hit a bitty baddy weather
This time like a shimmy shammy leather
He's a big boy, bad boy Leroy
I don't care where you get him from

[Outro]
Bring that big, bad Leroy back
Want him back

She makes me (stormtrooper in stilettos)
[Verse 1]
I love, she makes me
She is my heart
She is my love
She is my love

[Verse 2]
I know, I'm jealous of her
She makes me need
She is my love
She is my love

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
I know the day I leave her
I'll love her still
She is my love
She is my love

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
She is my love
She is my love

In the lap of the gods... revisited
[Verse 1]
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 wanna talk about
I can see what you want me to be
But I'm no fool

[Chorus]
It's in the lap of the gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
I can see what you want me to be
But I'm no fool

[Verse 2]
No beginning, there's no ending
There's no meaning in my pretending
Believe me, life goes on and on and
Forgive me when I ask you, "Where do I belong?"
You say, "I (You can do it) can't (You can do it)
(You can go and set him free) Set you free from me"
But that's not true

[Chorus]
It's in the lap of the gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
I can see what you want me to be
But I'm no fool
It's in the lap of the gods

[Outro]
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la-la, wah, wah, ooh
But that's not true
It's in the lap of the gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la-la, wah, wah, ooh
But I'm no fool
It's in the lap of the gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la-la, wah, wah, ooh
It's in the lap of the gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la-la, wah, wah, ooh
But I'm no fool
It's in the lap of the gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la-la, wah, wah, ooh
