Queen: The Eye

Queen: The Eye

This page includes details of all of the tracks which were used in the 5-CD Rom computer game 'Queen: The Eye', released in 1998. The tracks are listed here in the order they appear in the game; the actual details are ordered alphabetically.

For the tracks which are divided into 'main themes' and 'introductions' (eg Death On Two Legs, One Vision and Was It All Worth It), I have named the introductions as version 1 and the main theme as version 2, despite the order they may appear in the game.

"Game Only" Tracks
A Kind Of Magic | I'm Going Slightly Mad | Innuendo | It's A Hard Life | Las Palabras De Amor | Radio Ga Ga
The game itself includes a number of other very short tracks, which are not really worth mentioning, including 'Arboria' and 'The Ring'.

"The Art Of Queen: The Eye" CD-Rom Tracks

You can leave it for another day
Don't try so hard

But if you fall and take a tumble
It won't be far
If you fail you mustn't grumble
Thank your lucky stars
Just savour every mouthful
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Stay right where you are

Oooh, don't try so hard
Oooh, don't take it all to heart
It's only fools they make these rules
Don't try so hard
