(album)
,
1977. Freddie produced the album.
Two singles were released, namely 'Ragtime Piano Joe' / 'The
Saddest Clown', and 'Jackie' / 'I've Been To Hell And Back', but
neither charted.
01. Ada
02. I've Been To Hell And
Back
03. The Day The Talkies Came
04. Heart Be Still
05. Alabama Song
06. Ragtime Piano Joe
07. Jackie
08. The Annual Penguin Show
09. The Saddest Clown
10. Vamp
The Queen bootleg 'Pre-Ordained'
contains four of these tracks: 'Heart
Be Still', 'I've Been
To Hell And Back', 'The
Day The Talkies Came' and 'Vamp'. However
they are in poor quality, slightly too slow, and the volume level
is inconsistent. These tracks don't give a balanced impression of
the album - partly due to the poor quality, and also the
selection of tracks; apart from 'I've Been To Hell And Back' and
'The Day The Talkies Came', the rest are the weakest tracks from
the album. The album also includes 'Black Swan' and 'Tear Down
The Walls', which were funded by Freddie's production company but
have no other involvement.
Ada
,
1977. Produced by Freddie. Length 0:35.
Available as track 1 on the album 'This

Available as track 2 on the album 'This

Came'.
On the 'Pre-Ordained'
bootleg, the track fades out slightly earlier to avoid the segue.
Last night I dreamed of a desert
I dreamed of the white shifting sand
I dreamed of the eagle that swooped
And snatched the snake from my hand
I was amazed the Scorpio

You could laugh till you cried
You could lose yourself a while in the silent screen
You'd forget where you'd been, what you'd seen
You were part of the silver screen
All the world just passed you by
You just sat there starry eyed
As the lady of the keys
Added atmosphere with ease by her expertise
And the hero got his man
While the Keystone cops were still trying to find the gang
All the world just passed you by
You just sat there starry eyed
Ba-ba-da-ba-dum
Ba-ba-da-ba-dum
Then came the day when those
Talking pictures came to town
This innovation had people talking
For miles around
They had forgotten the thrills they had seen
When men like Chaplin had come to the screen
Gone was the silence that once was a dream
The day the talkies came to town
The day the talkies came to town
The day the talkies came to town
You could laugh till you cried
You could lose yourself a while in the silent screen
You'd forget where you'd been, what you'd seen
You were part of the silver screen
All the world just passed you by
You just sat there starry eyed
Ba-ba-da-ba-dum
Ba-ba-da-ba-dum
Ba-ba-da-ba-dum
Then came the day when those
Talking pictures came to town
This innovation had people talking
For miles around
They had forgotten the thrills they had seen
When men like Chaplin had come to the screen
Gone was the silence that once was a dream
The day the talkies came to town
The day the talkies came to town
The day the talkies came to town

Baby, my heart is breaking

The sky is an ocean of darkness, ooh
No-one, no-one, no-one to hold me in the long lonely night

Ragtime Piano
Joe
,
1977. Produced by Freddie. Length 3:42.
Available as track 6 on the album 'This
One's On Me'.
The man who made his name in the moving picture show
Was the man whose face we saw, but his voice we didn't know
The only things we heard him say were on cards we read too slow
The man who made them speak was Ragtime Piano Joe
It was the only life that he knew
Ragtime Piano Joe
It was the only thing he could do
Ragtime Piano Joe
And when the hero walked in the door
Or Charlie Chaplin fell through the floor
Who was it made the show
Ragtime Piano Joe
Al Jolson mooned and crooned and talking pictures came to town
Hoagy Carmichael played a tune, it really brought Joe down
And Busby Berkeley clinched the deal and all the flicks had sound
Joe took his life one night, they say that he was drowned
It was the only life that he knew
Ragtime Piano Joe
It was the only thing he could do
Ragtime Piano Joe
And when the hero walked in the door
Or Charlie Chaplin fell through the floor
Who was it made the show
Ragtime Piano Joe
(La, la, la, la, la repeated many times)
And when the hero walked in the door
Or Charlie Chaplin fell through the floor
Who was it, who was it
Ragtime Piano Joe
If late at night into the movie house you go
Sit at the back, stay out of sight, you can still hear Ragtime
Joe
When the crowds have gone
The old time songs, the ones we used to know
Can still be heard, but very faint
It's the ghost of poor old Joe
It was the only life that he knew
Ragtime Piano Joe
It was the only thing he could do
Ragtime Piano Joe
And when the hero walked in the door
Or Charlie Chaplin fell through the floor
Who was it made the show
Ragtime Piano Joe
It was the only life that he knew
Ragtime Piano Joe
It was the only thing he could do
Ragtime Piano Joe
And when the hero walked in the door
Or Charlie Chaplin fell through the floor
Who was it, who was it
Ragtime Piano Joe
Jackie
,
1977. Produced by Freddie. Length 3:15.
Available as track 7 on the album 'This
One's On Me'.
And if one day I should become
A singer with a Spanish bum
Who sings for women of great virtue
I'd sing to them with a guitar
I'd borrowed from a coffee bar
Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you
My name would be Antonio, and all my bridges I would burn
And when I gave them some big note
I'd expect something in return
I'd have to get drunk every night
And talk about virility
With some old grandmother
Who might be decked out like a Christmas tree
And though pink elephants I'd see
Though I'd be drunk as I could be
Still I would sing my song to me
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour everyday
If I could be for one little hour
Too cute in a stupid ass way
And if I joined the social world
Became procurer of young girls
And I would have my own bodellos
My record would be number one
And I'd sell records by the ton
All sung by many other fellows
My name would then be Handsome Jack
And I'd sell boats of opium
Whisky that came from Twickenham
Authentic queers and bony virgins
If I had banks on every finger
A finger in every country
And all the countries ruled by me
Then I know I'd want to be
Locked up inside my opium den
Surrounded by some Chinamen
I'd sing the song I sang of then
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour everyday
If I could be for one little hour
Too cute in a stupid ass way
Now tell me wouldn't it be nice
That if one day in paradise
I'd sing for all the ladies up there
And they would sing along with me
We'd be so happy there to be
'Cos down below is really nowhere
And if my name were Juniper
Then I would know where I was going
Then I'd become all knowing
And my beard so very long and flowing
If I became deaf, dumb and blind
Because I hated all mankind
I'd broke my heart to make things right
I'd know that every single night
When my angelic work was through
The angels and the devil too
Would sing my childhood song to me
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour everyday
If I could be for one stinking hour
Too cute in a stupid ass way
All right
The Annual
Penguin Show
,
1977. Produced by Freddie. Length 4:40.
Available as track 8 on the album 'This
One's On Me'.
Friday night, everybody dresses up in black and white
Look at the crowd, no jeans allowed
A glass of wine, and everybody's having such a good time
Or so they say, so give it away tonight, all right
The orchestra play, the penguins sway
The movement they make meant nothing at all
Once in a while, they let out a smile
In single file, they were having a ball
Forty seven penguins, all in a row
At the annual penguin show
A waiter stands, a creature of devotion to his fellow man
Shiny black hair, it's so rude to stare
All the bands will play, they won't reform their uniforms of
yesterday
All black and white it's gotta be right tonight, all right
The orchestra play, the penguins sway
The movement they make meant nothing at all
Once in a while, they let out a smile
In single file, they were having a ball
Forty seven penguins, all in a row
At the annual penguin show
It wouldn't be right tonight to meet the people from the streets
and let them in
You never know just where they've been
You've really got to chose, you mustn't lose, so don't refuse
Your MBE and send it back and call it crap
You've got to be as straight as elastic, oh, oh, oh, oh
You've got to be as natural as plastic, hey, hey
The orchestra play, the penguins sway
The movement they make meant nothing at all
Once in a while, they let out a smile
In single file, they were having a ball
Forty seven penguins, all in a row
At the annual penguin show
A penguin going, penguins are such lovely creatures
With shiny hair, and silky features
A wobble here, minding there
They take their time, but they don't care
But it's so sad to fence them in
To face the public, smile and win
Once a year, please, please, let them come
To the annual penguin show
With lots of fishy things to eat
To tempt the palette
Then the feet and after lunch
A chocolate biscuit made specially for 'em, innit
Forty seven penguins, all in a row
At the annual penguin show, no no
At the annual penguin show, one more time
At the annual penguin show
Yeah, yeah, want to bribe me with a story then
The Saddest
Clown
,
1977. Produced by Freddie. Length 4:19.
Available as track 9 on the album 'This
One's On Me'.
Children hurry for the door
While mothers pay the man what he's asking for
People come to see the clown
The finest circus ever seen has come to town
He makes them laugh, he makes them sing
To them this man they've waited for is everything
But underneath those fancy clothes and painted smiles there is a
frown
The saddest clown has come to town
It all began some years ago
He stopped some children on his way to say 'hello'
A mother ran out screaming at the strange man
Shouting 'let them go'
And yet the night before, he made them laugh and sing
To them this man was everything
It made him very sad and so afraid, he realised
Without his guise he was anyone
Though that day has gone
The memory lingers on
Though his smile has gone
His fooling still goes on
The unhappy clown
Mothers hurry for the door
While children jam their heads calling out for more
They all want to meet the clown
The finest clown that they have ever seen in town
He made them laugh, he made them sing
To them this man they'd come to see was everything
But underneath those painted smiles, they couldn't see there was
a frown
The saddest clown has come to town
Though that day has gone
The memory lingers on
Though his smile has gone
His fooling still goes on, and on, and on
The unhappy clown
Vamp
,
1977. Produced by Freddie. Length 5:21.
Available as track 10 on the album 'This
One's On Me', and also on the bootleg 'Pre-Ordained'.
In a long black gown that blows in the wake
Of the shimmering lady who
There's a man to take the enormous lashes
That drift from her eyes a blue
A cigarette holder always in place
Framing the untouched, timeless face
Of the lady with the eyes
Of the lady with the sighs
When she dances
And it drags there
Feeling classy
She's a vamp burning camp
For the people to stand for
Age cannot hamper
Drenched in champers
The shaded background in Vienna where she suffered, oh she, ooh
So the mocking eyes and the throwaway sighs
Hold smouldering memories too
The graceful gilde as she pass the air
The dancing din of her frozen stare
Oh, the lady with the eyes
Oh, the lady with the sighs
Then she sings
The smoke rings
The darlings
She's a vamp burning camp
For the people to stand for
Age cannot hamper
Drenched in champers
Legend, myth, and mystery
She comprises of all three
Clouded in her image untouchable
Venturing out always to be
What the minds eye thinks is she
Shrouded in her vales, a sea unscrutable to such as we
She wove a spell to all who came
With a power of a lady likes to fix a glove of fear
And the eyes are glazed from a thousand wars
All the crystals here are slowly burned
Oh, the lady with the eyes
Oh, the lady with the sighs
And she flows
As she goes
Faded rose
She's a
Ooh
Glitter, touch her, touch her, no
She's a vamp
She's a vamp, ahh
She's a vamp
She's a vamp
She's a vamp
State Of Shock
Michael Jackson
, 1983. Freddie sings joint-vocals. Length 4:43.
The original duet of this track remains unreleased, although it
was due to be released officially in 2002, but the release was
cancelled. In November 2011, Brian announced that he was working
with Roger on the unreleased Freddie and Michael Jackson tracks,
which will presumably include this song.
The track was re-recorded by The Jacksons with Mick Jagger for
their 1984 album 'Victory', and reached no 14 in 1984. A live
performance of the track, featuring Mick Jagger and Tina Turner,
can be found on the 'Live Aid' DVD.
The lyrics below refer to the unreleased duet version with
Freddie.

There Must Be More To Life Than This
Michael Jackson
, 1983. Freddie sings joint vocals.
This track features the same backing track as that later used for
the 'Mr
Bad Guy' version (but slightly longer), and features vocals
sung by both Freddie and Michael Jackson. Both versions are
officially unreleased. In November 2011, Brian announced that he
was working with Roger on the unreleased Freddie and Michael
Jackson tracks, which will presumably include this song.
1. Duet Version (3:07) (vocals by Freddie & Michael)
2. Rehearsal

earlier fade out)
There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this
How do we cope in a world without love
Mending all those broken hearts
And tending to those crying faces
There must be more to life than living
A better way for us to survive
Why should it be just a case of black or white
There must be more to life than this
Why is this world so full of hate
People dying everywhere
And we destroy what we create
People fighting for their human rights
But we just go on saying c'est la vie
So this is life
There must be more to life than killing
There must be more than meets the eye
What good is life, if in the end we all must die
There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than killing
There must be more to life than this
I live in hope for a world filled with love
Then we can all just live in peace
There must be more to life, much more to life
There must be more to life, more to life than this
There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this
How do we cope in a world without love
Mending all those broken hearts
And tending to those crying faces
There must be more to life than killing (Freddie: that’s
right)
A better way for us to survive (Freddie: ad-lib)
(Ad-libbed) in a world with our children
There must be more to life than this
Why is this world so full of hate
People dying everywhere
And we destroy what we create
People fighting for their human rights
But we’ll just go on saying c'est la vie
So this is life
There must be more to life than killing
There must be more than meets the eye
I live in hope for a world filled with love
Then we can all just live in peace
There must be more to life, much more to life
There must be more to life, more to life than this
Victory
Michael Jackson
, 1983. Freddie sings joint lead vocals and
possibly plays piano.
This song began as a Queen track, presumably intended for 'Hot
Space', but was not completed. It was then worked on by Freddie
and Michael Jackson in 1983, but this in turn remains unreleased,
although it was reportedly due to be released in 2002 but then
cancelled. The track may then have been re-recorded by The
Jacksons for their 1984 album of the same name, but if so that
version hasn't been released either. In November 2011, Brian
announced that he was working with Roger on the unreleased
Freddie and Michael Jackson tracks, which will presumably include
this song.
Lady With
The Tenor Sax

,
1986. Length 4:01.
Written, arranged and produced by Freddie Mercury and Billy
Squier.
Freddie appears on the 'Work In Progress' version of the track,
singing lead vocals. The recording was incomplete, so the
released version, on the 'Solo' boxed set, includes the end of
the normal album version to make it a complete track.
The album version appears on 'Enough Is Enough', but this does
not feature Freddie.

Love is the hero
Soldier forever
Life below zero
Never say never
Never say never
Never say never, say never
There is a course in life, so all the teachers say
It calls you day and night, it takes your thoughts away
Under a frozen light, you face a long crusade
Where there's a cause you fight, where there's a cost you pay
Find an empty heart, you feel the passion play
It's when reactions start that you can look away
There's no wrong or right, there's just your point of view
And when you face the light then it will come to you
Love is the hero, soldier forever
Life below zero, never say never
Love is the hero, yeah
There is no sacrifice, there is no dead end street
There is no sound advice, only the watch you keep (never say
never)
With every step you take, through every room of fear
With every move you make the song will pull you near
Turn your world around and it will come your way
Through your cold-chill nights and your hard earned days
When you face the light it may be hard to do
But when it's all too right then it will come to you
Love is the hero, soldier forever
Love is the hero, live to remember
No path is too steep, no distance too wide
No question too deep, no force can divide
Your fortune you seek, the road will unwind
You're coming to me, to search is to find
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And when you start to fall into that frozen space
And when you reach the wall and there's no sunny place
And when it all comes down you make it anyhow
Any way
Love is the hero, soldier forever
Life below zero, never say never, never, never
Love is the hero, love is the hero, yeah
March on forever
Love is the hero, yeah, yeah, live to remember, wooh, yeah
Love is the hero, love is the hero
Love is forever, yeah, yeah, yeah
Love is the hero, never say never, never
Ooh, yeah
Oooh
Love is the hero
Never
Love is the hero
