Brighton Rock5:10
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 you will stay-tarry with me pray
Nothing 'ere need come between us tell me love, tell
me love, what do you say
Oh no I must away with 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
O rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still
O Lady Moon, shine down a little people magic if you
will
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 spend my holidays...
Killer Queen3:00
She keeps Moet et Chandon, in her pretty cabinet
Let them eat cake she says, just like Marie Antoinette
A built in remedy, for Khruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation, you can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime, ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an 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 Minah
Then again incidentally, if you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's a willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime, ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try
Tenement Funster2:47
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 got a way with the girls on my block
Try my best to be a real individual
And when we go down to Smokies and rock
They line up like it's some kind of 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 out of 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 your young, and you're poor, and you're crazy
Young and you're crazy (4 times)
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 out of this place
Flick of the Wrist3:19
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 your 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, he's taken a leg
All this time honey, baby you've been had
Intoxicate your brain with what I 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 collaterize (big time money money)
Reduce you to a muzak fake machine
Then the last goodbye
It's a ripoff
Flick of the wrist and your 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, he's taken a leg
All this time honey, baby you've been had
Lily of the Valley1:43
I am forever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no
Neptune of the seas
Have you an answer for me please
And the lily of the valley doesn't know
I lie in wait with open eyes
I carry on through stormy skies
I follow every course
My kingdom for a horse
But each time I grow old
Serpent of the Nile
Relieve me for a while
And cast me from your spell and let me go
Messenger from the 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
But the lily of the valley doesn't know
Now I'm Here4:14
Here I stand
Look around, around, around...
But you won't see me
Now I'm here, 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, she made me live again
Yeah
A thin moon me in a smoke screen sky
Where the beams of your love life chase
Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain
With a 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, ooh don't I love him so
Whatever comes of you and me
I love to leave my memory with you
Now I'm here
Think I'll stay around around around
Down in the city just you and me
Don't I love you so
Go go go little pretty (?)
In The Lap Of The Gods3:22
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
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
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
Leave it in the lap of the Gods (3 times)
Lap of the Gods (7 times)

Dear Friends1:08
So dear friends your love has gone
Only tears to dwell upon

From all this gloom life can start anew
And they'll be no crying soon

I love
She makes me
She is my heart
She is my love (twice)
I know
I'm jealous of her
She makes me need
She is my love (twice)
Who knows who she'll make me
As I lie in her cocoon
And the world will surely heal my ills
I'm warm and terrified
She makes me so
I know the day I leave her
I'll 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 (twice)
In The Lap Of The Gods... revisited3:46
(Mercury)
It's so easy, but I can't do it
So risky-But I gotta chance it

My money, that's all you want to talk about
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 oh
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, wo wo la la la oh
I can see what you want me to be
But I'm no fool
It's in the lap of the gods
