Let Me Live

~Queen

Why don't you take another little piece of my heart

Why don't you take it and break it

And tear it apart

All I do is give

All you do is take

Baby why don't you give me

A brand new start

So let me live (so let me live)

Let me live (leave me alone)

Let me live, oh baby

And make a brand new start

Why don't you take another little piece of my soul

Why don't you shape it and shake it 'til you're really in control

All you do is take

And all I do is take

All that I'm askin'

Is a chance to live

(So let me live) - so let me live

(Leave me alone) - let me live, let me live

Why don't you let me make a brand new start

And it's a long hard struggle

But you can always depend on me

And if you're ever in trouble - hey

You know where I will be

Why don't you take another little piece of my life

Why don't you twist it and turn it

And cut it like a knife

All you do is live

All I do is die

Why can't we just be friends

Stop livin' a lie

So let me live (so let me live)

Let me live (leave me alone)

Please let me live

(Why dont you live a little)

Oh yeah baby

(Why don't you give a little love...?)

Let me live

Please let me live

Oh yeah baby, let me live

And make a brand new start

Take another little piece of my heart now baby

Take another little piece of my heart now baby

Take another little piece of my soul now baby

Take another little piece of my life now baby

In your heart, oh baby

(Take another piece, take another piece)

Please let me live

(Take another piece, take another piece)

Why don't you take another piece

Take another little piece of my heart

Oh yeah baby

Make a brand new start

All you do is take

Let me live

The music...or the lyrics...which do you prefer?

Music of the Night
~Phantom of the Opera
written by Andrew Lloyd Webber

I have brought you
to the seat of sweet
music's throne...
to this kingdom
where all must pay
homage to music...
music...

You have come here,
for one purpose,
and on alone...
Since the moment
I first heard you sing,
I have needed
you with me,
to serve me, to sing,
for my music...
my music...

Night-time sharpens
heightens each sensation...
Darkness stirs and
wakes imagination...
Silently the senses
abandon their defences...

Slowly, gently
night unfurls its slendour...
Grasp it, sense it -
tremulous and tender...
Turn you face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to
the music of the night...

Close your eyes
and surrender to your
darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts
of the life
you knew before!
Close your eyes,
let your spirit
start to soar!
And you'll live
as you've never
lived before...

Softly, deftly,
music shall surround you...
Feel it, hear it,
closing in around you...Open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which
you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of
the music of the night.

Let your mind
start a journey through a
strange new world!
Leave all thoughts
of the world
you knew before!
Let your soul
Take you where you
long to be!
Only then
can you belong
to me...

Floating, falling,
sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me,
savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in
to the power of
the music that I write -
the power of
the music of the night...

You alone
can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night...

Think about it for just a bit. Why do you like a song? For me...it could be a variety of reasons. Mostly, though, it's the words. Oh, yeah, the music helps out, too. Yet...I look at the lyrics. Listen to them...how do they fit? Fit me? So, this and most likely more pages will have lyrics. Yes, I know you've seen lyrics all over the pages, but they have meaning to me. And...well...The lyrics are going to keep coming...

I'm Going Slightly Mad

~Queen

When the outside temperature rises

And the meaning is oh so clear

One thousand and one yellow daffodils

Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear

Are they trying to tell you something?

You're missing that one final screw

You're simply not in the pink my dear

To be honest you haven't got a clue

I'm going slightly mad, I'm going slightly mad

It finally happened - happened

It finally happened - ooh oh

It finally happened - I'm slightly mad

Oh dear!

I'm one card short of a full deck

I'm not quite the shilling

One wave short of a shipwreck

I'm not my usual top billing

I'm coming down with a fever

I'm really out to sea

This kettle is boiling over

I think I'm a banana tree, oh dear

I'm going slightly mad, I'm going slightly mad

It finally happened - happened

It finally happened - uh huh

It finally happened - I'm slightly mad

Oh dear!

I'm knitting with only one needle

Unraveling fast it's true

I'm driving only three wheels these days

But my dear how about you?

I'm going slightly mad, I'm going slightly mad

It finally happened - happened - happened

It finally happened - oh yes

It finally happened - I'm slightly mad

Just very slightly mad

And there you have it!

Freak ~Days of the New

Watch the time
wait for me
patience is reality
I don't know how it feels
no, I can't see with your foot in my face

I don't know how it feels
I can't decide

No, I can't see
with your nose in my business
Your ass in my space
Your life
as my problem
Your foot
in my face

I won't
I can't
I'm lost
I'm a freak

Trust my lie
and you will die
I can't succeed
Now I can't fail
I don't know
how it feels
I can't decide

Searching for things
I can't see
Mountains in front of me
No nothing will conquer
my existence
Fear will not discover
my brain

I'm a freak

Your foot in my face

ALL DEAD
~Queen (Brain May)

Memories, my memories
How long can you stay
To haunt my days
She came without a farthing
A babe without a name
So much ado about nothing
Is what she tried to say
So much ado my lover
So many games we played
Through every fleeted summer
Through every precious day

All Dead All Dead
All the dreams we had
And I wonder why I still live on
All Dead All Dead
And alone I'm spared
My sweeter half instead
All Dead
And Gone
A All Dead...

All Dead All Dead
At the rainbow's end
And stilll I hear her own sweet song
All Dead All Dead
Take me back again
You know my little friend's
All Dead
And gone
All Dead and gone

Her ways are always with me
I wander all the while
But please you must forgive me
I am old but still a child

All Dead All Dead
But I should not grieve
In time it comes to everyone
All Dead All Dead
But in hope I breathe
Of course I don't believe
You're dead
And gone
All Dead
And gone

(Vocals Brian & Freddie)

Touch, Peel, and Stand
~Days of the New

Since I know how low to go
I won't let it show
won't you touch me/touch me
I won't let it go
and now I stand and I peel for more
won't you touch me/touch me
I won't let it go

Yes, I've finally found a reason
Don't need an excuse
I've got this time on my hands
You are the one to abuse

You're always talking back to me
You won't let it go
won't you touch me/touch me
It never bothered you before
Now I stand and I peel for more
won't you touch me/touch me
I won't let it go

I've got this time on my hands
