1. Party
We had a good night jamming away,
There was a full moon showing,
And we started to play.
But in the cold light of day next morning
Party was over.
The party was over.
We got love and we got style
And we got sex and I know
I know we got what it takes oh, oh, oh
Why don`t you come back and play
Come back and play, come back and play.
We got all night all day
Everybody`s gone away
Why don`t you come back and play
Come back and play, come back and play.
Come back and play. Go get`em boy - let`s party.
We had a food fight in somebody`s face
We were up all night singing
And giving a chase
But in the cold light of day next morning
Everybody was hang over.
Come back and play, come back and play.
We got all night all day, everybody`s gone away
Why don`t you come back and play
Come back and play.
We got all night and we got all day,
We got all night to play...
Come back, come back, come back, come back,
Come back and play.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye the party is over.
2. Khashoggi`s Ship
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 super nova.
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 fucker
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,
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.
Huh, huh, paruh, puh,
Oums ta, ta, ta, deeree dee, dee, dee...
Let`s go!
This one`s on me,
So let us do it just right,
This here one party
Don`t get started till midnight...
Party to the left -
Party to the right -
Left - Right
No one stops my party ...
3. The Miracle
Every drop of rain that falls in Sahara Desert says it all
It`s Miracle.
All God`s creations great and small, the Golden Gate and 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 handing 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 aaaah, 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
- We`re all waiting for today.
If every leaf on every tree could tell a story that would be
The Miracle.
If every child on every street had clothes to wear and food to eat
That`a a Miracle.
If all God`s people could be free too 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 Sunday morning with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting,
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling
It`s a Miracle, well it`s a Miracle,
It`s a Miracle aaaah,
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
- 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.
4. I Want It All
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 cant`s 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 all you people come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan gotta shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know if mine
People do you hear me? Just give me a sign.
-
It ain`t much I`m asking,
- If you want the truth
- Here`s so the future
- For the dreams of youth.
-
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.
-
I`m a man with a one track mind
- So much to do in one life time.
- Believe me not a compromise
- And where`s and why`s and living lies.
- So I`m living it all, yes I`m living at all
- And I`m giving it all, and I`m giving it all.
- Ooooh!
-
- It ain`t much I`m asking,
- If you want the truth
- Here`s so the future
- Hear the cry of youth.
-
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
5. The Invisible Man
- I`m the invisible man
- I`m the invisible man
- Incredible how you can
- See right through me.
Freddie Mercury ...
When you hear the sound, that you just can`t place,
Feel something 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.
-
I`m the invisible man
- I`m the invisible man
- Incredible how you can
- See right through me.
-
I`m the invisible man
- I`m the invisible man
- It`s criminal how I can
- See right through you.
John Deacon ...
Now I`m in your room and I`m in your bed
And I`m in your life and I`m in your head
Like the CIA or the FBI
You`ll never get close,
Never take me alive.
-
I`m the invisible man
- I`m the invisible man
- Incredible how you can
- See right through me.
-
I`m the invisible man
- I`m the invisible man
- It`s criminal how I can
- See right through you.
-
Hah, hah, hah, hello
- Hah, hah, hah, hello
- Hah, hah, hah, hello-hello-hello-hello.
-
Never had a real good friend - not a boy or a girl
- No one knows what I`ve been through - lef my flag unfurl
- 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
And I`m on your back Don`t look behind
I`m your meanest thought I`m your darkest fear
But I`ll never get caught You can`t shake me
Shake me dear
-
I`m the invisible man
- I`m the invisible man
- Incredible how you can
- See right through me.
-
I`m the invisible man
- I`m the invisible man
- It`s criminal how I can
- See right through you.
-
Look at me. Look at me.
Roger Taylor ...
6. Breakthrou
When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow I have to make this final breakthrough...
Now!
I wake up
Feel just fine
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
Cos you`re looking divine
Honey, you`re touching something, you`re touching me
I`m under your thumb, under your spell can`t you see.
-
If I could only reach you
- If I could make you smile
- If I could only reach you
- That would really be a breakthrough - oh yeah
-
breakthrough, these barriers of pain
- 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 ome of your looks at me
Honey, you`re starting something deep inside of me
Honey, you`re sparking something, this fire in me
I`m outta control
I wanna rush headlong into this ecstasy
-
If I could only reach you
- If I could make you smile
- If I could only reach you
- That would really be a breakthrough.
-
If I could only reach you
- If I could make you smile
- If I could only reach you
- That would really be a breakthrough - oh yeah

7. Rain Must Fall
I can see it in your stars
Life is so exciting
Acting so bizarre
Your world is so inviting
Playing really cool
And looking so mysterious
Your every day is full of sunshine
But into every life a little rain must fall
Anyone who imagines
They can blind you with science
Bully you all over
With property and finance
But you have position
To call the shots and name the price, honey
You found success and recognition
But into every life a little rain must fall
-
You tread a fairy tale existence
- But into every life a little rain must fall
Others seem to think
You are over dramatising
Problems at work
So it`s hardly surprising
There`s little you can do
To after their opinions
You want a clean reputation
But now you`re facing complications
Cos into every life a little rain must fall
8. Scandal
Scandal - now you`ve left me all the world`s gonna know
Scandal, they`re gonna turn our lives into a freak show
They`ll see the heart ache, they`ll see our loove break
They`ll hear me pleading, I`ll say: oh, Gods 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 thefloodgates
They`ll leave us bleeding we say you cheapskates
Over and over and over again
-
So let them know when we scare
- It`s just a private affair
- They`ll have us hang 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 loove break
They`ll hear me pleading, I`ll say: oh, Gods sake
Over and over and over again
Scandal, scandal
Scandal, yes you`re breaking my heart again
Today the headlines, tomorrow hard times
And no one really knows the truth from the lies
And in the end of story deeper must hide
Deeper and deeper and deeper inside
Scandal, scandal
9. My Baby Does Me
My baby
Baby does
My baby does me good
My baby does
My baby does me
My baby does me good
My lady
Understands
Understands me right
She understands
She understands me
Understands me right
-
My baby cares
- She really cares
- She knows what`s really right for me
- Does me good then she hurts me so
- She winds me up then lets me go
- Turns me on and then tells me no
-
She`s just a pussy cat
My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby cutts me
one day she tells me that she cares
Another day she tells me she don`t love me
She really really does me
10. Was It All Worth It
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 couinting 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
- Giving all my heart and soul
- And 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 ...
11. Hang On In There
Don't let go, don't lose your mystique,
Wait a little longer,
Tomorrow brings another feast,
Don't let go, don't lose your reputation,
Thank god you're still alive,
You're still in one piece,
Hang on in there, don't lose your appetite,
Hang on in there, forget the danger signs,
Fray for that magical moment and it will appear
( Don't fight for lost emotions ),
Wait for the sunrise,
And everything will seem so clear,
( Look straight ahead, look straight ahead ),
Hang on in there, hang on in there, hang on in there,
Your wish will be granted,
All your problems will disappear,
Don't be a fool, you haven't reached your peak,
You got a fast car racing up inside you,
Your life is incomplete,
Hang on in there, hang on in there,
Fray for that magical moment and it will appear
( Wait for that moment ),
Wait for the sunrise,
Just wait and see and it will seem so clear,
Let's go, let's go - OK now do the change now,
Yeah, hang on in there,
Hang on in there etc.
