Everybody
Hurts Sometime
Click here for the original song details. Length 3:39
Performed by Roger Taylor at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, London,
England, on 15 September 1994
Lyrics:
Well everybody hurts
sometimes, you know it
And everybody loves sometime - don't be afraid to show it
If you don't get a little hurt sometime
If you don't dig a little dirt sometimes
You ain't living at all
Love and affection is the sweetest thing
When love turns sour, it ain't a sin
It's a bitter pill but I tell you, turns to bitter sweet within
And it's on any street, everybody hurts sometime
Happiness is a young mans dream
But it don't come easy, no, you know what I mean
Gotta chase it down the street, right to the last scene
Run down that illusion, try to live your dream
'Cos everybody hurts sometime, you know it
And everybody loves sometime - don't be afraid to show it
If you don't get a little hurt sometime
If you don't dig a little dirt sometime
You ain't living at all
'Cos everybody hurts sometime, you know it
And everybody loves sometime - don't be afraid to show it, no
If you don't get a little hurt sometimes
If you don't dig a little dirt sometimes
You ain't living at all
Everybody hurts sometime

Want To Break Free

Performed by Roger Taylor at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, London,
England, on 15 September 1994
Lyrics:
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love
It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When you break that door
Oh, how I want to be free, baby
How I want to be free
Oh, how I want to break free
But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without
Living without, living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone
'Cos God knows, got to make it on my own, yeah
So baby can't you see
I've got to break free
Oh baby can't you see
God knows I want to
God knows I want to
God knows I want to break free
No More Fun

Performed by Roger Taylor at The Cyberbarn, Cosford Mill, Surrey,
England, on 24 September 1998
Lyrics:
Roger: No More Fun
From the stairway to heaven to the laughing gnome
It's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll
We got no more, no more fun
No more fun
Age before beauty, pearls before swine
And whatever happened to the wild, wild times
From the Memphis God to the Liverpool boys
And the guitar kings made a lot of noise
No more, no more fun
No more fun
We got no more
N-n-n-n-no more fun
I said age before beauty pearls before swine
Whatever happened to the wild, wild times
No more fun
And they were dressing like hookers
They were dressing like queens
It had nothing to do with New Orleans
We got no more
No more fun
No
No more fun
Hey
It don't seem like fun and it ain't necessary
Never wanted to be no shorthand secretary
No more fun
And now they're punching their keyboards, kiss their machines
It ain't got much soul and it's squeaky clean
No more
No more fun
We got no more
N-n-n-n-no more fun
No more fun
No more fun
No more fun
No more fun
No more fun
No more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun

Old Friends
Click here for the original song details. Length 2:58
Performed by Roger Taylor at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, London,
England, on 15 September 1994
Lyrics:
When the sun got big, and the night came down
We used to share a drink, and let the demons out
Let the good times rock - you made the bad times roll
We used to laugh a lot, you had a lot of soul
Old friends - in better times
And times were hard
And times were tough
We put our backs to the wall
You used to strut your stuff
With a head held high and a heart so big
One fist at the sky - and shake a leg
Old friends - in better times
(Old friends of mine)
Ooh-oooh
Even though, even though we miss you now
Look forward, don't look back
We'll get by somehow, somehow, ooh
So I raise my glass in a last goodbye
Sleep in peace old friend, for me you'll never die
The best thing I can say, after all this time
You were a real friend, of mine
Old friends - in better times

Lyrics:
Ride the wild wind
Don't sit on the fence
Gonna ride the wild wind
Live your life on the razors edge
Gonna ride the wild wind
It ain't dangerous enough for me
Get your head down baby, we're gonna ride tonight
Your angel eyes are shining bright
Let me take your hand, lead you from this place
Ahh, take you by the hand, check out of this rat race
Ride the wild wind, don't sit on the fence (hey, hey, hey)
Gonna ride the wild wind, live your life on the razor's edge
Gonna ride the wild wind
It ain't dangerous enough for me
Tie your hair back baby
We're gonna ride tonight
We got jerks to the left
We got freaks to the right
Sometimes I get so low
I just have to ride
Let me take your hand
Ahh, let me be your guide
Ride the wild wind - hey, hey, hey
Gonna ride the wild wind - hey, yeah
Gonna ride the wild wind
It ain't dangerous enough for me
Ride the wild wind, don't sit on the fence (hey, hey, hey)
Gonna ride the wild wind - yeah, yeah
Gonna ride the wild wind
It ain't dangerous enough for me

Ride the wild wind, don't sit on the fence (hey, hey, hey)
Gonna ride the wild wind, live life on the razor's edge
Gonna ride the wild wind
It ain't dangerous enough for me

Roger: Surrender
Same cycle happen every day
Same characters, same play
My game plan's become clear
Gotta find a way out of here
There ain't no place to run
No welcome mat in my home
No love here, no life
He want a punch bag, not a wife
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
I'm gone from you
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
You can't reach me where
I'm gone to
I surrender
I surrender
No hope left, just pain
Whisky on his breath, violence in his brain
Scared kids, with scarred minds
Surrender reason, love is blind
Surrender life, surrender love
Surrender belief in God above
Surrender hope, bow down to fear
Surrender life, there ain't much here
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
I'm gone from you
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
You can't reach me where
I'm gone to
I surrender
I surrender
I surrender
I surrender
You can't hurt me, you can't hurt me
You can't hurt me, you can't hurt me
You can't hurt me, you can't hurt me
You can't hurt me, you can't hurt me
I surrender (you can't hurt me, you can't hurt me, you can't hurt
me, you can't hurt me)
I surrender (you can't hurt me, you can't hurt me, you can't hurt

Lyrics:
One, two, three, four
Far, far from the light
Hear the night creatures call
With a cold breath they howl
All the hollow hours they're calling you
I'll be there
No matter where you're going to
In the dark I care
I'm holding on, I'm hoping on
It's still the same old me inside
Back to the light
Back to the streets
That are paved with gold
Back to the light
Back to the land
Where the sunshine heals my soul, yeah, yeah
Deep, deep in the night
When the world fills with tears
And the wind blows, colder and colder it grows
And the fire dims with the same old fears
I'll be there
Though maybe you don't hear me baby
I still care
No matter when, I'll still be there
When you make it to the other side
Oooh, and I'm going back
Back to the light
Back to the streets
That are paved with gold, yeah, yeah
Back to the light
Back to the land
Where the sunshine heals my soul, yeah, yeah
On and on
Searching for a clearer view
Winning and losing an inner war
Wonder what we do it for
Though the road seems never ending
Hold on to the hope I'm sending through, yeah
No matter where you're going to
In the dark I care
I'm holding on, believe it
We'll be walking in the light
'Cos they'll be no place left to hide
Back to the light, back to the light
Back to the streets
That are paved with gold, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Back to the light), back to me, yeah, yeah
Back to the land
Sunshine heals my soul
Let me hear you babes

Lyrics:

In English it goes 'I would like to dedicate this song to absent

Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all

You don't waste no time at all, no you don't
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
Comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting for the hammer to fall, yeah
Oh every night, and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face the western way
Ooh, build your muscles as your body decays
Toe your line and play their game
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
We're all gonna know the hammer has to fall
Rich or poor or famous for
Your truth it's all the same (oh no) oh yeah (oh no)
Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane (oh no) oh no
Baby now your struggle's all in vain, yeah
For he who grew up tall and proud
Ooh, in the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just want to scream it louder and louder
(What the hell we fighting for) what we fighting for, fighting
for
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
Just got time to say your prayers
While your waiting for the hammer to fall
Let me dig it, let me dig it
Ooh, you know the hammer babe
Know we're waiting for the hammer to fall
You know it, you know it, you know it
This time it will fall
Waiting for the hammer to, hammer to, hammer to fall
Ooh, yeah, ooh yeah
Thank you
Thank you very much, bonsoir, merci
Give it to me one more time
Merci beaucoup, thank you

Too Much Love
Will Kill You
Click here for the original song details. Length 4:18
Performed by Brian May at the Pavarotti & Friends concert in
Modena, Italy, on 27th September 1992.
The majority of the track seems identical to the album version;
the vocals, piano, orchestral parts and strings are identical to
normal; it also includes the 'oooh' vocals at the start which
were never performed live. There is also a half-verse in Italian,
but the vocals seem to fit in too well to the album version.
However, the end of the track contains new vocals on the last
verse, and extra guitar.
This track is available on an album of the show, and is more
widely available as a download through iTunes.
Lyrics:
Brian: How you doing?
(Brian speaks in Italian) and for all you
folks back home too
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone for much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find where I went wrong
Brian: Hey, it's raining
Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'Cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you - every time
Brian: Pretty
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I have to lose
(Two lines of the song in Italian)
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you - every time
Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life
You'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end

Lyrics:
Brian: Before we get
into this, I'd just like to introduce you to a very old friend
and a fantastic keyboard player, Mr Spike Edney
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to
be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone for much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be

How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I have to lose
Oooh, too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you - every time
Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life

Man On Fire
Click here for the original song details. Length 4:39
Performed by The Cross at an unknown venue on the 1990 European
Tour, most likely in Germany.
Below are the lyrics for the version on the 'New Dark Ages'
single. The version on the 'Final Destination' CD is the same as
this, but has a spoken intro by Roger.
Lyrics:
I walk these streets each
and every day
Trying to find some work just to earn my pay
To make some plans for you some day
But times are hard and times are rough
You better be made of sterner stuff
Then you've got to stop and wonder why
Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
I wanna burn down this crazy town
I walk these streets each and every night
Try to earn my pay just to make it right
Watch the world go by in black and white
Well times are hard and times are rough
You better be made of sterner stuff
I've got to stop and wonder why
I'm smoking, I'm burning
I'm twisting and turning
But one thing I'm learning
It's the power of your love keeps me under their thumb
The beat of your heart is the beat of my drum
Now I got to stop and wonder why
Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Wanna burn down this crazy town
Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Wanna burn down this crazy town
Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Wanna burn down your crazy town
Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Wanna burn down your crazy town
Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Wanna burn down your crazy town
I'm on fire

Performed by Roger Taylor with The SAS Band at the Shepherd's
Bush Empire, London, England, on 19 February 2000
Lyrics:
(Radio)
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
(Radio)
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
(Radio)
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new, oh
Radio, someone still loves you
We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
Our music changes through the years
(Radio)
Let's hope you'll never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around 'cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Oh, radio, someone still loves you
(Radio ga ga)

(Radio)
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)
All we hear is radio ga ga

Radio what's new?
Oh, radio, someone still loves you

Say It's Not
True

Performed by Roger Taylor with the Band Du Lac at the Wintershall
Estate, Surrey, 11 June 2005.
This performance features percussion and keyboards, not just
acoustic guitar.
Lyrics:
Gary Brooker: Will you please welcome
another regular to Wintershall, this time he's playing with our
band for a change, big welcome, Roger Taylor. Hello Rog.
Roger: Good evening. Um, I'm gonna bring you, bring you right
down now, this is a song written, ah, for Nelson Mandela, ah, and
his anti HIV/AIDS crusade in Africa. It's a fairly new song
called 'Say It's Not True'
The harder we play
The faster we fall
When we think that we know it all
We know nothing at all
The letter arrives
Like a bolt from the blue
So what's left of your lives
All your dreams lost to you
Say it's not true
Say it today
When I open my eyes
Will it all go away
Say it's not true
Say it for real
Can't be happening to you
Can't be happening to me
It's hard not to cry
It's hard to believe
So much heartache and pain
So much reason to grieve
With the wonders of science
And all the knowledge we've stored
Magic cocktails for lives
People just can't afford
Say it's not true
You can say it's not right
So hard to believe
The size of the crime
Say it's not true
You can say it's not real
Could be happening to you
Could be happening to me
Roger: Thank you.

Roger: Here's a sort of old one.
Sometimes
I get to thinking
I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect then, you know
The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young
The sun was always shining, we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately, I don't know
The rest of my life's been just a show
'Cos those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look, and I find, I still love you
You can't turn back the clock, can't turn back the time
Ain't that a shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a rollercoaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sitting and a thinking on what you did
When you can say back and lay it for your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately I don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow
'Cos these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change
'Cos those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but
One thing's still true
When I look and I find
I still love you
Oh yeah

Lyrics:
Roger: Here's a very old one
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
This time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love
Strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh, how I long to be free, baby
How I want to be free
Oh, how I want to break free
But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without
Living without, living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see, yeah
I've got to break free
Oh baby can't you see, yeah
God knows I want to
God knows I want to
God knows I want to break free, yeah
Roger: Thank you, have a great night.
Gary Brooker: Roger Taylor. That was great. Roger Taylor.
