Title: Bohemian Rhapsody
Written by: Freddy Mercury & Brian May
Vocals: Axl, Elton John
Guitars: Brian May
Bass: John Deacon
Drums: Roger Taylor
Piano: Elton John
Performed live:
Bohemian Rhapsody was performed live on the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert, April 20, 1992.
Lyrics:
Is this the real life,
Is this just fantasy.
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see.
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I’m easy come, easy go.
A little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me
To me.
Mama just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head.
Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead,
Mama, life had just begun.
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away,
Mama ooo.
Didn’t mean to make you cry.
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow.
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters.
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine.
Body’s aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody, I’ve got to go.
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth,
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows).
I don’t want to die,
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all.
I see a little silhouette of a man,
Scaramouch, Scaramouch will you do the Fandango.
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me,
Galileo Galileo.
Galileo Galileo,
Galileo figaro-Magnifico.
But I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me,
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family.
Spare him his life from this monstrosity,
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go.
Bismillah! No-,we will not let you go-let him go,
Bismillah! We will not let you go-let him go.
Bismillah! We will not let you go-let me go,
Will not let you go-let me go.
Will not let you go let me go,
No,no,no,no,no,no,no.
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go,
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye,
So you think you can love me and leave me to die.
Oh baby-Can’t do this to me baby,
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here.
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see.
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,
Any way the wind blows...

Lyrics:
Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Ya darling you could make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns and once in
Explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under
Ya darling you could make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns and once in
Explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never want to die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Ya darling you could make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns and once in
Explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never want to die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free.
Come together right now over me.
He bag production, he got walrus gumboot,
He got one sideboard, he one spinal cracker.
He got feet down below his knee,
Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease.
Come together right now over me.
He roller coaster, he got early warning,
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter.
He say one and one and one is three,
Got to be good lookin’, ‘cause he’s so hard to see.

Come together

Well, when you're sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won't see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Well, you're sitting back
In your pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another whore can take my pain away
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the US mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Lyrics:
When I was a kid all I wanted to be,
Was the meanest dude on the meanest machine.
Now I'm going the wrong way on a one-way street,
I never fit this society.
I don't really mind,
Doing my own time,
The three choices I ever came to find,
Were:
Dead, Jail or Rock N’ Roll
I ain’t looking for trouble but it’s looking for me,
The law of the jungle is protecting me.
Lose sleep man stay out of your bed,
You might wind up in jail if you lose your head.
In death I might find,
True piece of mind.
But while I’m alive,
Free choice is mine.
It’s either:
Dead, Jail or Rock N’ Roll
I don’t really mind,
Doing my own time,
The three choices I ever came to find,
Were always:
Dead, Jail or Rock N’ Roll

Lyrics:
Tell everybody that I am sorry, truly sorry
For all the wrongs I done
I never meant to hurt nobody
Lord I never want to do no wrong
I have lied, I have begged and I have cheated
And I know my ship won't be coming in
As I lay me down to take my rest
I see that it's just dust in the wind
Take hold my hand, hold it tighter, ever tighter
You must believe that I love you still
But my strength, it grows weaker, ever weaker
And my body has lost its will
Oh my Lord, I have lost once again
And I got no one to help me find my way
But I never wanted to hurt nobody
And I never wanted to do no wrong

It’s a long day livin’ in Reseda
There’s a free-way runnin’ through the yard
And I’m a bad boy, cause I don’t even miss her
I’m a bad boy for breakin’ her heart
And I’m free, I’m free fallin’
All the vampires walking through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts
And I’m free, I’m free fallin’
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin’
Gonna leave this world for awhile
And I’m free, I’m free fallin’

The lady then she covered me with roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme...

With my juvenile skills and delinquent games
'Cuz I'm a fast motherfucker
Let me tell you 'bout it sucker
If you fuck with me, I'll fuck your mother
Your sister too, and your best girlfriend
I'll line 'em up, and put 'em end to end
And then I'll put out, stick it in, I'll pull it out
I'll grab your face and cum in your mouth
It tastes good, don't it?
It tastes good, and you know it
It tastes good, don't it?
It tastes good, and you know it
If you're looking for trouble, I'm the one
If you're looking for a fight go have some fun
Ya like to dance, ya like to sing

Pack my suitcase, take a chance -- got nothing to lose
Gimme the sound of the rolling dice
Gimme a whiskey, don't think twice
Deal me the card that takes my blues away
Take me away to Marseilles
Fast train, jet plane, money to burn, don't ask the reason why
Drinkin' champagne, playin' cool, don't even have to try
Gimme the sound of the rolling dice
Gimme a whiskey, don't think twice
Deal me the card that takes my blues away
Take me away to Marseilles

You're not the only ship
Adrift on this ocean
This coming and going
Is driving me nuts
This to-ing and fro-ing
Is hurting my guts
So get off the fence
It's creasing your butt
Life is a party
Let's get out and strut
You're not the only one
That's feeling lonesome
You're not the only one
With mixed emotions
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Let's grab the world
By the scruff of the neck
And drink it down deeply
Let's love it to death
So button your lip
And button your coat
Let's go out dancing
Let's rock 'n' roll
You're not the only one
With mixed emotions
You're not the only ship
Adrift on this ocean

Come on baby you gotta wait and see
You better hurry
To get a piece of me
Caught a lonely lady
Crying on a cigarette
I got nasty, nasty habits
And that's all she's gonna get
One for the money, two for the show
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Take a look at what-a you might need
You better hurry
To get a piece of me
I don't have looks, I don't have money
But I know one thing's for sure
One night ain't enough of my love
She wanted more, more, more
Sleazin' in the city
Lookin' for a fight
Got my heels and lookin' pretty
On a Saturday night, night, night
One for the money, two for the show
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Take a look at what-a you might need
You better hurry
To get a piece of me
To get a piece of me
To get a piece of me

Carry me back, carry me back

Lyrics:
Lets drink to the hard working people,
Lets drink to the lowly of birth.
Raise your glass to the good and the evil,
Lets drink to the salt of the earth.
Say a prayer for the common foot soldier,
Spare a thought for his back breaking work.
Say a prayer for his wife and his children,
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth.
And when I search a faceless crowd,
A swirling mass of grey and black and white.
They don’t look real to me,
In fact, they look so strange.
Raise your glass to the hard working people,
Lets drink to the uncounted heads.
Lets think of the wandering millions,
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead.
Spare a thought for the stay at home voter,
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows.
And a parade of the grey suited grafters,
A choice of cancer or polio.
And when I search a faceless crowd,
A swirling mass of grey and black and white.
They don’t look real to me,
In fact, they look so strange.
Lets drink to the hard working people,
Lets think of the lowly of birth.
Spare a thought for the rag taggy people,
Sets drink to the salt of the earth.
Lets drink to the hard working people,
Lets drink to the salt of the earth.
Lets think of the two thousand million,
Lets think of the humble of birth

And your Daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time
Tie your Mother down

Lock your Daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosing around
Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Give me all your love tonight
You're such a dirty louse
Go get outta my house
That's all I ever get from you
Family ties, in fact I never heard
A single little civil word from you guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Shouting and fighting goin' on
Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Take your little brother swimmin'
With a brick (that's all right)
Tie your Mother down,
Tie your Mother down
She you ain't no friend of mine
Your momma and your Daddy gonna
Plague me til I die
They don't understand I'm just a
Peace lovin' guy
Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Give me all your love tonight
All your love tonight
All your love tonight
All your love tonight
All your love tonight
Give it to me

Well, on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome, but [???] the same
She was pretty, from New York City
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a "heave!", and a "ho!"
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no
Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no
Well, on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome, but (???) the same

Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her
Well, we made a stop in Albuquerque
She must'a thought I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and put her hands up
Lookin' so good I couldn't let her go
But I just couldn't tell her so
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her

Performed live:
We're An American Band'" was performed live in Los Angeles, CA at least once in 1985.
Lyrics:
On the road for forty days
Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze
Sweet, sweet Connie - doin' her act
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact
Up all night with Freddy King
I got to tell you poker's his thing
A-booze 'n ladies keep me right
As long as we can make it to the show tonight
We're an American band
We're an American band
We're coming to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American band
Four young chaquitas in Omaha
Was waitin' for the band to return from the show
Feelin' good, feelin' right, it's Saturday night
The hotel detective -- he was out-a-sight
Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan
They was out to meet the boys in the band
They said, "Come on, dudes, let's get it on"
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down
We're an American band
We're an American band
We're coming to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American band
We're an American band
We're an American band
We're coming to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American band
We're an American band
We're an American band
We're coming to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American band
We're an American band
We're an American band
We're coming to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American band
We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo
We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo
We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo

Title: Wild Horses
Written by: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (for Rolling Stones)

Wild Horses was performed as an intro to Patience after Gilby joined the band. They usually played the whole song. However, Axl mostly just sang a few lines, and the rest of the song was done instrumental.
It was also played live on June 22, 2000 at the Cat Club, West Hollywood, CA. Axl joined Gilby Clarke on stage to perform the song.
Lyrics (the lines Axl did in GnR):
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses we'll ride them someday
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses we'll ride them someday
Lyrics for the whole song:
Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn’t drag me away
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn’t drag me away
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don’t have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let’s do some living after we die
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we’ll ride them some day
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we’ll ride them some day

Lyrics:
You know you shook me
You shook me all night long
You know you shook me, baby
You shook me all night long
You shook me so hard baby
Baby, baby, please come home
I have a bird that whistles
And I have birds that sing
I have a bird that whistles
And I have birds that sing
I have a baby, won't do nothing, oh!
Oh, oh, buy a diamond ring
You know you shook me, baby
You shook me all night long
I know you really, really, did baby
I said you shook me, baby
You shook me all night long
You shook me so hard, baby
You shook me all night long
