Sheer Heart Attack

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 illumination all alone the promenade
"It's so good to know there's still the little magic in the air
I'll leave 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"

Coro:
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, write a letter everyday
"We must ever be together, nothing can my love erase"
"Oh, no I'm compromised, I must apologies
If my lady should discover how I spent my holiday..."

Ooh ooh ooh

Killer Queen

She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
`Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy for Khrushchev and Kennedy
At any time invitation you can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes well versed in etiquette

Extraordinary nice

Coro:

She's a Killer Queen

Gunpowder gelatine

Dynamite with a laser beam (pa pa pa paah)

Guaranteed to blow your mind - anytime

Ooh recommended at the price

Insatiable an appetite

Wanna try?

To avoid complication 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 (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

Coro:

She's a Killer Queen

Gunpowder gelatine

Dynamite with a laser beam (pa pa pa paah)

Guaranteed to blow your mind - anytime

Recommended at the price

Insatiable an appetite

Wanna try?

Drop of hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat - (ooh)
Then momentary out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild...

(She's all outa get you)

Coro:

She's a Killer Queen

Gunpowder gelatine

Dynamite with a laser beam (pa pa pa paah)

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

Coro:
Oh, give me a good guitar

An' 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

Hmm, I like the good things in life
But most of the best things ain't free - ooh ooh ooh
And this same situation, just cuts like a knife

When you're young, and you're poor, and you're crazy

(Crazy..crazy..come when you're crazy..)

Coro:
Oh, give me a good guitar

An' 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

'Dislocate your spine if you don't sign' - he says

'I'll have you seeing double' - (double)
Mesmerized you when he's tongue-tied
Simply with those eyes - ooooh
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 ooh oooh
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' ooh
'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-take machine
Then the last goodbye - ye-ye
(It's a rip-off)

Flick of the wrist - and you're dead, baby
Blow him a kiss - and you're mad ooh oooh
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

I am forever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no?

Neptune of the Seas

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 stomy skies,
I follow every cause my Kingdom for a horse,
But each time I grow old - aaaah
Serpent of the Nile relieve me for a while
And cast me from your spell and 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
But the lily of the valley doesn't know

Now I'm here

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 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'n'me
Don't I love her so

A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky
Where the beams of your lovelight 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 Hooplen 'n' me
Don't 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, around...
(We'll be)

Down in the city just you 'n' me

Don't love you so (don't I love you so)

Go go go, little Queenie, wooh!

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 which 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 to you to

Leave it in the lap of the Gods...

Lap of the Gods

Aaaah

Lap of the Gods...

Stone Cold Crazy

Sleeping very soundly on a saturday morning

I was dreaming I was Al Capone,
There's a rumor going round, gotta clear outa town

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 - Crazy

Stone cold crazy know

Rainy afternoon I gotta blow 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 crazy, you know - (whow, gimme more!)

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 sirenes loose I ran right outa juice

They're gonna put me in a cell

If can't go to Heaven will they let me go to Hell?

Crazy - stone cold crazy, you know...

Whow!

Dear Friends

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.

(Oooh)
Go to sleep and dream again
Soon your hopes will rise and then
From all this gloom life can start a new
And there'll be no crying soon

Misfire

Don't you miss fire 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, fill me up,

With the desire to carry on

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

She Makes Me (Stormtrooper In Stilettoes)

I love, she makes me
She is my heart, 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

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.

She 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 make me so
She is my love

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 wanna talk about
I can see what you what me to be
But I'm no fool

It's in the lap of the Gods

Woh woh la la la - wo
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..

(You can do it, you can do it, you can go and set you free)
...Can't set you free from me
But that's not true

It's in the lap of the Gods

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

Woh woh la la la -woh

Woh woh la la - woh woh ooh
But that's not true

It's in the lap of the Gods...
