Lyrics: (Lyrics in Red are not in the

We had a good night
jamming away
There was a full moon showing
We started to play
But in the cold light of day next morning
Party was over, uh huh, uh huh
The party was over
We got love and we
We got style and we
Got sex and I know, I know we got what it takes
Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
Woh, woh, woh
Why don't you come back and play
Come back and play (hey, hey)
Come back and play
We got all night all day
Everybody's gone away
Why don't you come back and play (play, play)
Come back and play
Come back and play
Come back and play, play, play, play
Go get 'em boy - let's party
Yeah, ha, ha, ha, ha
Gimme, gimme
We had a food fight in somebody's face
We were up all night singing, singing
And giving a chase
But in the cold light of day next morning
Everybody was hung over
Hey, come back and play
Come back and play
Come back and play
We got all night all day
Everybody's gone away
Why don't
you come back and play, and play
Come back and play
We got all night, we got
all day
We got all night and day
Ha
Come back, come back, come back, come back
Come back and play

- Who said that my body was all over, huh, huh
I'm in pretty good shape
The best years of my life are like a super nova
Huh, huh, perpetual craze, I said that
Everybody drank my wine - you get my drift
And then we took a holiday on Khashoggi's ship - well
We really had a good, good time they was all so sexy
We was bad, we was blitzed
All in all it was a pretty good trip
This big
bad sucker with a fist as big as your head
Wanted to get me, I said go
I said kiss my ass honey
He pulled out a gun, wanted to arrest me
I said uh, uh, babe
Now listen no-one stops my party
No-one stops my party
No-one, no-one, no-one stops my party
Just like I said
We were phased, we was pissed
Just having a total eclipse
Bop, bop

Be, de, bop, bop, bop
Be, de, bop, bop, de, dee, yeah

Party
The Miracle
Track 3. Written by Queen. Album Version 5:01
Note that the version on the promo video is slightly longer,
whilst that on 'Greatest Hits II' is slightly shorter. This is
because the lyric "that time will come one day you'll see,
when we can all be friends" is repeated one more or less
time. This affects the length by approximately five seconds.
These aren't really different versions so are not included below.

Lyrics: (Lyrics
in Red are in the 'Teaser Tape' edit)
Every drop
of rain that falls in Sahara Desert says it all
It's a miracle
All God's creations great and small, the Golden Gate and the Taj
Mahal
That's a miracle
Test tube babies being born, mothers, fathers, dead and gone
It's a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
The wonders of this world go on, the hanging gardens of Babylon
Captain Cook and Cain and Able, Jimi Hendrix to the tower of
Babel
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
The one thing
We're all waiting for is peace on earth an end to war
It's a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle we're all waiting for
Today
If every leaf on every
tree could tell a story that would be
A miracle
If every child on every street had clothes to wear and food to
eat
That's a miracle
If all God's people could be free, to live in perfect harmony
It's a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
Open hearts and surgery, Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
(wonders of this world go on)
Super powers always fighting
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
(Wonders of this world go on)
Well it's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
The one thing (the one thing)
We're all waiting for (waiting for)
Is peace on earth (peace on earth)
And an end to war (end to war)
It's a miracle we need, the miracle
The miracle
Peace on earth and end to war
Today
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
That time will come one

I want it
all (yeah, yeah), I want it all
I want it all and I want it now
Adventure seeker, on an
empty street
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger, can't see a way out
It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say
Gotta find me a future, move out of my way
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all and I want it now
I want it
all, I want it all, I want it all and I want it now
Listen all you people, come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground
But just give me, huh, what I know is mine
People do you hear me, just give me the sign
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future, for the dreams of youth, hey
I want it all (hear it all, I want it all), I want it all, hey, I
want it all and I want it now
I want it all (yes I want it all), I want it all (hey), I want it
all and I want it now
I'm a man with a one track mind
Too much to do in one life time (people do you hear me)
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), ooooh
Oh, yeah, yeah
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I want it all, all, all, all
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future, hear the cry, hear the cry, hear the cry of
youth
I want it all
(yeah, yeah), I want it
all, I want it all and I want it now
I want it all (yeah, yeah, yeah), I want it all, I want it all
and I want it now, oh, ooh, ooh
And I want it
Now
I want it, I want it
Oooh, hot
Lyrics

I'm the invisible, visible, visible man
Lyrics: (Lyrics in Red are in 'The

I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
(Freddie Mercury)
When you
hear a sound
That you just can't place
Feel something move
That you just can't trace
When something sits
On the end of your bed
Don't turn around
When you hear me tread
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can
See right through you
(John Deacon)
And I'm in your room
And I'm in your bed
And I'm in your life
And I'm in your head
Like the CIA
Or the FBI
You'll never get close
Never take me alive
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can
See right through you
Hah, hah,
hah, hello
Hah, hah, hah, OK
Hah, hah, hah, hello, hello, hello, hello
Never had a real good friend - not a boy or a girl
No-one knows what I've been through - let my flag unfurl
Swore I'd make my mark
From the edge of the world
From the edge of the world
From the edge of the world
(Brian May, Brian May)
Now I'm on your track
And I'm in your mind
And I'm on your back
But don't look behind
I'm your meanest thought
I'm your darkest fear
But I'll never get caught
You can't shake me, shake me dear
I'm the
invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
(Watch me now)
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can
See right through you
Look at me, look at me
(Roger Taylor)
You can't shake me, shake me dear

I wake up,
feel just fine
Your face, feels like mine
I get religion quick
'Cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something, you're touching me
I'm under your thumb, under you're spell, can't you see
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru - oh yeah
Breakthru, these barriers of pain
Breakthru, yeah, to the sunshine from the rain
Make my feelings known towards you
Turn my heart inside and out for you now
Somehow
I have to make this final breakthru
Now
Oh, yeah
Your smile
Speaks books to me
I break up
With each and every one of your looks at me
Honey, you're starting something, deep inside of me
Honey, you're sparking something, this fire in me
I'm outta control, I wanna rush headlong into this ecstasy
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru (oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh,

(Vocal improvisation by Freddie)
What is there left for me to do in this life
Did I achieve what I had set in my sights
Am I a happy man, or is this sinking sand
Was it all worth it
Was it all worth it
Yeah, now hear my story, let me tell you about it
We bought a drum kit, I blew my own trumpet
Played the circuit, thought we were perfect
Was it all worth it
Ooh, giving all my heart and soul and staying up all night
Was it all worth it
Living, breathing rock 'n' roll a Godforsaken life
Was it all worth it
Was it all worth it
All these years
Put down
our money without counting the cost
It didn't matter if we won, if we lost
Yes we were vicious, yes we could kill
Yes we were hungry, yes we were brill, ha, ha, ha
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
We served a purpose, like a bloody circus
We were so dandy, yeah, we love you madly
Was it all worth it
Living, breathing rock 'n' roll, this Godforsaken life
Was it all worth it, yeah
Was it all worth it
When the hurly burly's done
We went to Bali, saw God and Dali
So mystic, surrealistic
Was it all
worth it, yeah, yeah
Giving all my heart and soul and staying up all night
Was it all worth it
Oooh, living, breathing rock 'n' roll, this never ending fight
Was it all worth it
Was it all worth it
Yes, it was a worthwhile experience, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
It was worth it

Lyrics:
Don't let go
Don't lose your mystique
Wait a little longer
Tomorrow brings another feast
Don't let go
Don't lose your reputation
Thank God you're still alive, ha
You're still in one piece
Hang on in there
Don't lose your appetite
Hang on in there
Forget the danger signs
Pray for that magical moment (look straight ahead)
And it will appear (don't fight for lost emotions)
Wait for the sunrise
And everything will seem so clear
(Look straight ahead, look straight ahead)
Hang on in there (hang on in there)
Hang on in there (hang on in there)
Your wish will be granted
All your problems will disappear
Don't be a fool
You haven't reached your peak
You've got a fast car racing up inside you
Your life is incomplete
Hang on in there
Hang in there
Pray for that magical moment
And it will appear (pray for that moment)
Wait for the sunrise
Just wait and see
And it will seem so clear
Ba da, bop, be dop bop, bop, bop
Da, ba, bop, de bop, hey
And let's go, let's go
OK now do the change now
Yeah, hang in there
Hang on in there
Yeah, hang in there
Yeah

Lyrics:
That's the way I am
Does anybody want to know?
This is the way I lead my life, you know
Wheelin' and dealin' and a little bit of stealin'
You know, that's the way I grew up
It's the only life I know
That's the way my mother told me
And they go
Stealin'
I gave you the key to my home
I left you alone
In charge of my heart
Hey, stealin'
You got me wheelin' and dealin'
Played with my feelings
Right from the start
Can't afford to pay my rent
I had to use my common sense
To get some money I owe, uh, oh
This guy said look in my head
Make some easy bread
Stealin' is the only way that I know, oh
Stealin' hey
Only way that I know
Yeah that I'm stealin' baby
Stealin'
I gave you both my heart and my home
Left you alone
Now you'll be stealin', stealin', stealin'
Of my heart
You're my baby's heart
Uh huh
Eeeeee
Baby let it bleed
You're in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
You are in charge
You are in charge
Ba, ba, ba, da, da, dap
Ba, ba, ba, da, da, dap
Ba, ba, ba, da, da, dap
Because you are in charge of my heart
I gave you the key
And turned on the bed
I gave you the key
Come on I said
What have I got
What have I got
Yes, I, I got the key out of my heart
Now get that key out of my heart
I said the key, hey, of my heart
Come on
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Hijack My
Heart
Non Album Track. Written by
Queen. Original Version 4:11
Only available on 'The Invisible Man' single and the US 'Scandal'
promo CD

Lyrics:
Just walking down the street
One cloudless sunny day
Just minding my business
Thinking my thoughts - nothing much to say
When suddenly I got hit
Imagine my surprise
Your smile came up and zapped me
Right between the eyes
I'd never seen anything to compare
With your smile
I'd never seen anything
That came within miles
My heart got hijacked by you
Stuck in the traffic
Stuck at the lights
What do I see
Some stupid bimbo
In a fast car next to me
She takes off
Imagine my disgust
Like a bat outta hell
I get to eat her dust
I never known anything to compare
With her laugh
I never known anything
That counted by half
My heart got hijacked by you
Hijack my heart
Hijack my heart
Steal my heart
Hijack my heart
Hijack my heart
Look at the city
Look at the streets
What do you see?
Look at the faces
Look at the people
They all wonder me
Suddenly hit by something
They don't get to choose
It comes out of nowhere
Right out of the blue
'Cos I've never seen anything
To compare with your smile
I've never seen anything
That came within miles
My heart got hijacked by you
Hijack my heart
Now you really got a hold on me
You hijacked my heart
Don't you never let me be
Stole my heart
Threw away the key
Ooh ee, baby what's become of me
You hijacked my heart
Now you really got a hold on me
You hijacked my heart
Don't you never let me be

Lyrics:
This is where we are today
People going separate ways
This is the way things are now
In disarray
I read it in the papers
There's death on every page
Oh Lord, I thank the Lord above
My life has been saved, yeah, eh
Here we go, telling lies
Here we go (here we go, here we go)
Ooooh, eee
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
This is the way we are today
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We're right back where we started from
People going separate ways
This is the way things are now
In disarray, hey
I read it in the papers
There's death on every page
Oh, oh Lord, I thank you from above
My life has been saved
Wooh
Wooh
Wooh
My life, my life has been saved
My life, my life, my life has been saved
I'm in the dark, I'm blind
I don't know what's coming to me
