“We’re a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules, It’s unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear.” Freddie Mercury
If I am quoting a famous band’s lyrics, Queen is a perfect choice. Classical, rock and pop like, their post-genre style was a pioneer. Young and old you can enjoy this sound and look deeper, the words Freddie Mercury sings will be remembered for all time. Even the movie about the band that came out late 2018 is pretty good > https://ungroovygords.com/2019/03/17/bohemian-rhapsody-a-movie-review/
- 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, oh oh 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 Bohemian Rhapsody (1977)
- For we who grew up tall and proud In the shadow of the mushroom cloud Convinced our voices can’t be heard We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder What the hell we fighting for Just surrender and it won’t hurt at all You’ve just got time to say your prayers While you’re waiting for the Hammer to Fall Hammer to Fall (1984)
- My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly my friends Ooh, I’ll top the bill, I’ll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on The Show Must Go On (1991) - I’m a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one lifetime
Not a man for compromise and where’s and why’s and living lies
So I’m living it all, yes I’m living it all
And I’m giving it all, and I’m giving it all I Want It All (1989) - For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can’t be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder
What the hell we fighting for
Just surrender and it won’t hurt at all
You’ve just got time to say your prayers
While you’re waiting for the Hammer to Fall Hammer to Fall (1984) - My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly my friends Ooh, I’ll top the bill, I’ll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on The Show Must Go On (1991) - But it’s been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain’t gonna lose We Are The Champions (1997) - You can be anything you want to be, just turn yourself into anything you think you could ever be Innuendo (1991)
- There’s a rumour going round. I got a clear outta town, yeah I’m smelling like a dry fish Stone Cold Crazy (1974)
- In the quiet of the night let our candle always burn, let us never lose the lessons we have learned Teo Torriatte (1976)
- My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies, fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die. I can fly my friends The Show Must Go On (1991)
- I’m in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer roll bar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal Told my girl I’ll have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So she made tracks saying this is the end, now
Cars don’t talk back they’re just four wheeled friends now I’m In Love With My Car (1975) - I work hard every day of my life
I work ’til I ache in my bones
At the end
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
‘Til the tears run down from my eyes
Lord, somebody, ooh somebody
can anybody find me somebody to love? Somebody To Love (1976) - She keeps her Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
“Let them eat cake”, she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can’t decline Killer Queen (1974) - I’m a shooting star, leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I’m a racing car, passing by like Lady Godiva
I’m gonna go, go, go
There’s no stopping me I’m burnin’ through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees
That’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I’m traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you – Don’t Stop Me Now - There are plenty of ways that 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 on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat oh yeah Another One Bites The Dust (1980)
