BRIGHTON ROCK ( May )
Happy little day, Jimmy went away
Met his little Jenny on a public holiday
A happy pair they made, so decorously laid
īNeath the gay illumination
All alone the promenade
"Itīs so good to know
Thereīs still the little magic in the air
Iīll leave my spell."
"Jenny will you stay - tarry with me pray
Nothing īere 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
Iīll 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, write a letter everyday
"We must ever be together,
Nothing can my love erase."
"Oh, no Iīm compromised, I must apologies
If my lady should discover
How I spent my holiday..."
KILLER QUEEN ( Mercury )
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 canīt decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
Sheīs 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 youīre that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldnīt care less
Fastidious and precise
Sheīs a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat sheīs as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild...
Sheīs all out to get you
Sheīs 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 FUNSTER ( Taylor )
My new purple shoes, binī amazing the people next door
And my rock īnī roll 45īs, binī enraging the folks on the lower floor
I got a way with the girls on my block
Try my best be a real individual
And when we go down to smokies and rock
They line up like itīs some kinda ritual
Ooh give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hairīs a disgrace
Or, just find me an open car, Iīll make the speed of light outta this place
Mmm, I like the good things in life
But most of the best things ainīt free
Some same situation, just cuts like a knife
When youīre young, and youīre poor, and youīre crazy, crazy
Young and youīre crazy
Young and youīre crazy
Young and youīre crazy
But ooh give me a good guitar and you can say that my hairīs a disgrace
Or, just find me an open car, Iīll make the speed of light outta this place
FLICK OF THE WRIST ( Mercury )
Dislocate your spine if you donīt sign
He says Iīll have you seeing double
Mesmerized you when heīs tongue-tied
Simply with those eyes
Synchronize your minds and see
The beast within him rise
Donīt look back, donīt look back
Itīs a rip-off
Flick of the wrist and youīre dead, baby
Blow him a kiss and youīre mad
Flick of the wrist - heīll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
Heīs taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time honey baby youīve been had
Intoxicate your brain with what Iīm saying
If not youīll lie in knee-deep trouble
Prostitute yourself he says
Castrate your human pride
Sacrifice your leisure days
Let me squeeze you till youīve dried
Donīt look back, donīt look back
Itīs 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
Itīs a rip-off
Flick of the wrist and youīre dead baby
Blow him a kiss and youīre mad, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Flick of the wrist - heīll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
Heīs taken an arm, and taken a leg
All this time honey
Baby youīve been had
LILY OF THE VALLEY ( Mercury )
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
The lily of the valley doesnīt know
I lie in wait with open eyes
I carry on though stomy skies
I follow every cause 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 Seven seas has flown
To tell the king of Rye heīs lost his throne
Wars will never cease
Is there time enough for peace
But the Lily of the valley doesnīt know
NOW IīM HERE ( May )
Here I stand (here I stand)
Look around around around around around
But you wonīt see me (but you wonīt see me)
Now Iīm here (Now Iīm here)
Now Iīm there (Now Iīm there)

And the light of the night burned bright

Ooh whatever came of you and me
Americaīs new bride to be - ooh, donīt worry baby Iīm safe and sound
Down in the dungeon just peaches īnī me
Donīt I love her so
Yes you made me live again, yeah
Yeah, ooh, a thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky
Where the beams of your lovelight chase
Donīt move, donīt speak, donīt feel no pain
With the 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 īnī me
Donīt I love him so
Ooh, donīt I love him so
Wooh
Whatever comes of you and me
I love to leave my memory with you
Now Iīm here (Now Iīm here)

Down in the city justa you īnī me (down in the city justa you īnī me)
Donīt I love you so
Go, go, go, little Queenie
Wooh
IN THE LAP OF THE GODS ( Mercury )
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 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 leave it in the lap of the gods,
Lap of the gods.
STONE COLD CRAZY
Sleeping very soundly on a saturday morning I was dreaming I was Al Capone
Thereīs a rumour going round, gotta clear outta town
Yes smelling like a dry fish bone
Here come the law, gonna break down the door, gonna carry me away once more
Never, I never, I never want it any more
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor

Rainy afternoon I gotta blow a typhoon and Iīm playing on my slide trombone
Anymore, anymore, cannot take it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor

Stone cold crazy, you know, ow, hit īem on
Walking down the street, shooting people that I meet
With my rubber tommy water gun
Here come the deputy, heīs gonna come and getta me

They got the sirens loose
I ran right outta juice
Theyīre gonna put me in a cell, if I canīt go to heaven
Will they let me go to hell
Crazy
Stone cold crazy, you know
DEAR FRIENDS ( May )
So dear friends your love is gone
Only tears to dwell upon.
I dare not say as the wind must blow
So a love is lost, a love is won.
Go to sleep and dream again
Soon your hopes will rise and then
From all this gloom life can start anew
And thereīll be no crying soon.
MISFIRE ( Deacon )
Donīt you misfire
Fill me up
With the desire
To carry on
Donīt you know honey, that loveīs a game

Ooh, donīt you misfire
Fill me up
With the desire
To carry on, oooh, ah, oooh, ah
Donīt you misfire
Fill me up

Fire me higher
Donīt you miss this time
Please donīt misfire, misfire

"Big bad, big boy, big bad Leroy Brown

She is my heart
She is my love
She is my love

Iīm jealous of her
She makes me need
She is my love

Who knows who sheīll make me
As I lie in her cocoon
And the world will surely heal my ills
Iīm warm and terrified
She makes me so
I know the day I leave her
Iīll love her still
She is my love

Who knows where my dreams will end
Iīll follow as they grow
But the world will know how long Iīll take
And if Iīm very slow she makes me so
She is my love
She is my love
IN THE LAP OF THE GODS... (REVISITED) ( Mercury )
Itīs so easy, but I canīt do it
So risky - but I gotta chance it
Itīs so funny
Thereīs nothing to laugh about
My money, thatīs all
You wanna talk about
I can see what you want me to be
But Iīm no fool
Itīs in the lap of the gods
I can see what you want me to be
But Iīm no fool
No beginning, thereīs no ending
Thereīs no meaning in my pretending
Believe me, life goes on and on and on
Forgive me when

You say I canīt set you free from me
But thatīs not true
