One additional track not listed here is believed to be called 'The Cosmos Rocks' or 'The Cosmos Rocking', a 6 second snippet of which appeared on adverts for the 2008 European Tour; This is a fast paced track and the only lyrics heard are "we've got the cosmos rocking, we've got the cosmos rocking".

C-lebrity
Length 3:33
This track appeaars on the forthcoming 'The Cosmos Rocks' album and was performed on the Al Murray show in 2008 to promote the tour; the lyrics below are from that performance.
This track has a similar feel to to 'Invincible Hope' and some of Roger's tracks. Given this, and the subject content, it is highly probable that he wrote the track.
Lyrics: (Lyrics in black are sung by Paul, lyrics in red are sung by Roger/Brian)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ain't got no hope
Got no idea
What to do
Or why I'm here

Wanna get my face
On your TV
I wanna be heard
I want to be seen

Ain't go nothing, no
Nothing, nothing to show
Make me a celebrity

I want to be
A face on TV, aha
Then you can see
I'm a celebrity

I wanna get my features
In magazines
See this creature on every street
On every screen

Write my life story
Before I'm twenty one
I've got to tell the world
They may say I'm dumb - but ah

Ain't go nothing, no
Nothing, nothing to show
Make me a celebrity

I want to be
A face on TV, aha
Then you can see (tell me Brian)
I'm a celebrity
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I wanna be a star, yeah
In a Broadway musical
They're gonna love me
Though I can't sing or dance at all

They may say, ha
I'm (unknown lyric)
And if I was real good
I'd stand no chance at all, oh but

I want to be
A face on TV (I wanna be on your screen)
Then you can see
I'm a celebrity

Then you can say (then you can say)
You knew me one day
Then you will see (then you will know)
I'm a celebrity
Alright now

C-Celebrity, I want to be a
C-C-C-lebrity, I've got to be a
C-Celebrity, yeah, yes now
C-C-C-lebrity

I want to be heard
I want to be seen on every TV screen

Say It's Not True
Written by Roger Taylor. Length 4:01.
Originally performed live at the 46664 concert and throughout the 2005 European Tour.
This track was released as a free download on World Aids Day on 1 December 2007. Due to demand it was then given a proper single release on 31 December.
This track features Roger and then Brian singing during the first (acoustic) part of the song, then lead vocals by Paul Rodgers during the second (heavy) half of the song.
According to the promotion for the single, the original download was a rushed version to be ready for World Aids Day, but the single version was a new mix with additional studio work; however I can't notice any difference.
Lyrics: (Lyrics in black are sung by Roger, lyrics in Red are sung by Brian, lyrics in Black Italics are sung jointly by Brian and Roger, and lyrics in Blue are sung by Paul)
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 ain't true
Say it today
When I open my eyes
Will it all go away

Say it's not true
Say it's not 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
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 right
So hard to believe
The size of the crime

Sayyy
Say it's not real
Ooooh
It could be happening to you

Say it's not true
Say it's not right
It's hard to believe
The size of the crime

Say it's not true
Say it's not real
Could be happening to you
Could be happening to me

Take Love
Written by Paul Rodgers. Length 4:32.
Performed live throughout the 2006 North American Tour.

Lyrics:
I can't love you baby
You keep on running away
I can't hold on
If you don't wanna stay

Your runaway heart
And your restless soul
I hope you know
What it is you're looking for

Take love where you find it
May not come so easy next time
Take love where you find it
May not come so easy next time

You're here today
Baby, gone tomorrow
The hearts we steal
And the love we borrow

Give a little back
And there's no harm done
Even the mystic's say
Gotta have a little fun, now

Take love where you find it
May not come so easy next time
Take love where you find it
'Cos it may not come so easy next time

Lift your eyes to the sky
See your mind's horizon
Lift your eyes to the sky
See your mind's horizon
But wait

Take love where you find it
May not come so easy next time
Take love where you find it
'Cos it may not come so easy next time

There are many different
Different kinds of love
But there's only one
That's really good in life

When you're hearts in tune
With a fire so rare
You're gonna find it
Shining everywhere

Take love where you find it
Take love where you find it
Baby, baby, baby
Let's give a little back, yeah

Take it, take it, baby

Yeah
