Play The Game (Mercury)    

Open up your mind
And let me step inside
Rest your weary head
And let your heart decide

It's so easy
When you know the rules
It's so easy
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game
Everybody play the game of love

When you're feeling down
And your resistance is low
Light another cigarette
And let yourself go

This is your life
Don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game
Everybody play the game of love

My game of love has just begun
Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumping through my veins
(Play the game)
Driving me insane
(Come come come come)
Play the game, play the game, play the game, play the game

Play the game
Everybody play the game of love

This is your life
Don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game
Yeah, play the game of love

Your life
Don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game
Everybody play the game of love





Dragon Attack (May)    

Take me to the room where the red's all red
Take me out of my head - it's what I said...
Take me to the room where the green's all green
And from what I've seen it's hot, it's mean

Gonna use my stack
It's gotta be Mack
Gonna get me on the track
Got a Dragon on my back

Take me to the room where the beat's all round
Gonna eat that sound - yeah yeah yeah...
Take me to the room where the black's all white
And the white's all black, take me back to the shack

She don't take no prisoners
She gonna give me the business
Got a Dragon on my back
It's a Dragon Attack

Low Down - She don't take no prisoners
Go Down - She gonna give me the business
No time - Yeah chained to the rack
Show time - Got a Dragon on my back
Show down - Go find another customer
Slow down - I gotta make my way...





Another One Bites The Dust (Deacon)    

Steve walks warily down the street
With his brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go

Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust

There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can treat him bad
And leave him when he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing in my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Shoot Out !





Need Your Loving Tonight (Deacon)    

No I'll never look back in anger
No I'll never find me an answer
You promised me, you'd keep in touch
I read your letter and it hurt me so much
I said I'd never, never be angry with you

I don't wanna feel like a stranger
'Cause I'd rather stay out of danger
I read your letter so many times
I got your meaning between the lines
I said I'd never, never be angry with you

I must be strong so she won't know how much I miss her
I only hope as time goes on, I'll forget her
My body's aching, can't sleep at night
I'm too exhausted to start a fight
And if I see her with another guy
I'll eat my heart out 'cause I love, love, love, love her

Come on baby, let's get together
I'll love you baby, I'll love you forever
I'm trying hard to stay away
What made you change, what did I say ?
Ooh I need your loving tonight

Ooh I need your loving
Ooh I need your loving
Ooh I need your loving baby tonight

Ooh I need your loving tonight

No I'll never look back in anger
No I'll never find me an answer
Give me no warning, how could I guess
I'll have to learn to forgive and forget

Ooh I need your loving
Ooh I need your loving
Ooh I need your loving tonight





Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Mercury)    

This thing called love
I just can't handle it
This thing called love
I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (This Thing) called love (Called Love)
It cries (Like a baby) in a cradle all night
It swings (Woo Woo) it jives (Woo Woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to Rock'n'Roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool, relax
Get hip, get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool, relax
Get hip, get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready (Ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love
I just can't handle it
This thing called love
I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love





Rock It (Prime Jive) (Taylor)    

When I hear that rock and roll
It gets down to my soul
When it's real rock and roll
Oh rock and roll

You really think they like to rock in space
Well I don't know

What do you know ?
What do you hear ?
On the radio
Coming through the air
I said Mama
I ain't crazy
I'm alright - alright

Hey c'mon baby said it's alright
To rock'n'roll on a Saturday night
I said shoot and get your suit and come along with me
I said c'mon baby down come and rock with me
You said yeah

What do you do ?
To get to feel alive ?
You go downtown
And get some of that prime jive
I said Mama
I ain't crazy
I'm alright - alright

Hey c'mon baby said it's alright
To rock'n'roll on a Saturday night
I said shoot and get your suit and come along with me
I said c'mon baby down come and rock with me
You said yeah

We're gonna rock it

Hey c'mon baby said it's alright
To rock'n'roll on a Saturday night
I said shoot and get your suit and come along with me
I said c'mon baby down come and rock with me
You said yeah

We're gonna rock it... tonight

We want some prime jive
We want some prime jive

Don't Try Suicide (Mercury)    

O.K.

Don't do it, Don't you try it baby
Don't do that - Don't Don't Don't
Don't do that - you got a good thing going now
Don't do it Don't do it Don't

Don't try suicide
Nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide
Nobody cares
Don't try suicide
You just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide
Nobody gives a damn

So you think it's the easy way out
Think you're gonna slash your wrists this time
Baby when you do it all you do is get on my tits
Don't do that - try try try baby
Don't do that - you got a good thing going now
Don't do it Don't do it Don't

Don't try suicide
Nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide
Nobody cares
Don't try suicide
You just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide
Nobody gives a damn

You need help
Look at yourself, you need help
You need life
So don't hang yourself
It's o.k. o.k. o.k. o.k.
You just can't be a prick teaser all of the time

A little bit attention - you got it
Need some affection - you got it
Suicide suicide suicide bid
Suicide suicide suicide bid
Suicide
Don't do it Don't do it Don't do it babe
Don't do it Don't do it Don't - do it

Don't put your neck on the line
Don't drown on me babe
Blow your brains out
Don't do that
Don't do that - you got a good thing going babe
Don't do it - no - Don't do it - no - Don't

Don't try suicide
Nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide
Nobody cares
Don't try suicide
You just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide
Nobody gives, nobody gives
Nobody gives a damn

O.K.





Sail Away Sweet Sister (To The Sister I Never Had) (May)    

Hey little babe you're changing
Babe are you feeling sore ?
It ain't no use in pretending
You don't wanna play no more

It's plain that you ain't no baby
What would your mother say
You're all dressed up like a lady
How come you behave this way

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you find somebody
To love you half as much as me
My heart is always with you
No matter what you do
Sail away sweet sister
I'll always be in love with you

Forgive me for what I told you
My heart makes a fool of me
You know I'll never hold you
I know that you gotta be free

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you find somebody
To love you half as much as me
Take it the way you want it
But when they let you down my friend
Sail away sweet sister
Back to my arms again

Hot child, don't you know
You're young, you got your whole life ahead of you
And you can throw it away too soon
Way too soon

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you find somebody
To love you half as much as me
My heart is always with you
No matter what you do
Sail away sweet sister
I'll always be in love with you





Coming Soon (Taylor)    

I get some headaches when I hit the heights
Like in the morning after crazy nights
Like some mother in law in her nylon tights

They're always
They're always
They're always
They're always
Coming soon
Coming soon
On the outside of the tracks

You take 'em
The same old babies with the same old toys
The neighbours screaming when the noise annoys
Somebody nagging you when you're out with the boys

They're always
They're always
They're always
They're always
Coming soon
Coming soon
On the outside of the track

They're always
They're always
They're always
They're always
Coming soon
Coming soon
On the outside of the track
Coming soon
Coming soon
On the outside of the track





Save Me (May)    

It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you, how I cried...
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived the lie
"I love you 'til I die"

Save me Save me Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me Save me
I'm naked and I'm far from home

The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted all that love ?
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent

Save me Save me Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me Oh...
I'm naked and I'm far from home

Each night I cry, I still believe the lie
I love you 'til I die

Save me Save me Save me
Don't let me face my life alone
Save me Save me Oh...
I'm naked and I'm far from home
