Lyrics:
Brian: (Speaks in Russian). See, I'm pretending that I know Russian. I wish, I wish, I wish I knew more Russian, but um, I just wanna say, this is, this is one of the great moments in our lives, because this is something we always dreamed of, to come to Russia. This is a first, ever, at this time in our lives, Queen and Paul Rodgers meets Russia. And um, you know at one time in the past, when we were all a little younger, this was something impossible, this never could have happened, so this is a dream, and I, and I pray that the dream will become more and more of a reality as there is more and more peace in this world between us. I'm gonna try one more thing, um, no I'm not. Would you like to sing? OK, so I don't need to speak Russian anymore. This is an international language, it goes like this. This is a song, OK I'm gonna explain one more thing. We no longer have our wonderful Freddie with us, but it's great that we can sing his songs, so let's sing this song for Freddie.

Love of my life - you've hurt me
You've broken my heart, you now desert me

Audience: Love of my life, can't you see
Brian: Wow
Audience: Bring it back, bring it back
Audience: Don't take it away from me, because you don't know

Mmmm, love of my life - don't leave me
You've stolen my heart, you now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see
Bring it back

Audience: Bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know
What it means to me

You will remember

And everything's all by the way

How I still love you

Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made us cry
You made us feel like we could fly

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know, and just don't care
And just complain when you're not there

You had the time
You had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

Roger: Woh, got to get my breath back here. Huh. This is a sad song.

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
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

Say-ay-ay-ay

Say it's not true
You can say it's not right
It's hard to believe
The size of the crime, one more time now

Say it's not true
You can say it's not real
Could be happening to you
It could be happening to me

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na

Seagull, you fly across the horizon
Into the misty morning sun
Nobody asks you where you are going
Nobody knows where you're from

Here is a man asking the question
Is this really the end of the world?
Seagull, you must have known for a long time
The shape of things to come

Now you fly through the sky
Never asking why
And you fly all around
'Til somebody shoots you down

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na

Seagull, you fly across the horizon
Into the misty morning sun
Nobody asks you where you are going
Nobody knows where you're from

Now you fly, through the sky
Never asking why
And I see your destiny is forever
To fly free
Free
Go on and fly away
Go on and fly

Into the misty morning sun
Nobody asks you where you are going
Nobody knows where you're from

Here is a man asking the question
Is this really the end of the world?
Seagull, you must have known for a long time
The shape of things to come

Now you fly through the sky
Never asking why
And you fly all around
'Til somebody shoots you down

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Paul Rodgers sings lead vocals.
Details of the original version can be found on the Paul Rodgers Songs page.

Lyrics:
Paul: What I'm gonna do, this is a song now about Johnny guitar, the shooting star, ha, ha, ha. Goes something like this.

Well, Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song
'Love me do' I think it was and from there it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit, everything's all right
Don't you know

Well, Johnny told his mama, "hey, mama, I'm goin' away
I'm gonna hit the big time, I'm gonna be a big star someday"
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "don't cry, mama, smile and wave goodbye"
Everybody wave

Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Hey baby, don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long, long as you are

Well, Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song
Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said, "hey, I made the big time at last"

Don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Shining on, somewhere way up there
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
All the world will love you just as long, long as you are
Play

Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Let it shine, let it shine up there
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long, long as you are
But wait a minute now

Well, Johnny died one night, died in his bed
A bottle of whisky, sleeping tablets by his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play

Don't you know, know, know, know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Take it round, take it round again
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Let it shine, let it shine right down on me

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, woo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
OK, Johnny guitar, go ahead and play

I just wanna tell you one more time, now people now

Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Shining on
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
All the world will love you just as long, long as you are
A shooting star
Oh yeah


Paul: Thank you, we love you, you're beautiful

Lyrics:
Ahh

Ooh-wooh, wooh

Empty spaces, what are we living for
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for

Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore

(The show must go on) the show must go on
(The show must go on) the show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for

I guess I'm learning (I'm learning, I'm learning, I'm learning), I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning (turning, turning, turning) round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

(The show must go on) the show must go on
(The show must go on) the show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
We can fly my friends

(The show must go on) the show must go on
(The show must go on) the show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show

I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the
On with the show
(The show must go on) the show must go on

I'm gonna make out all right
I got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all this
Sniping and grousing
Going on

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Take your little brother swimming
With a brick, yeah, that's all right

I don't need him nosing around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
Yeah baby

You're such a dirty louse
Go get out of my house
That's all I ever get from your
Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
But I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Sniping and grousing
Going on

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Take your little brother swimming
With a brick, that's all right
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
She ain't no friend of mine
Ain't no friend of mine

Your mummy and your daddy gonna
Plague me till I die
They can't understand it
I'm just a peace loving guy
Please

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Get that big, big, big, big, big, big daddy out the door
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
All your love tonight

All your love baby
All your love tonight
All your love baby
All your love tonight
All your love tonight
All your love tonight

Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, ahhh
All your love baby

Hey, baby, how you doing?

Got my act all tight

Your mamma says you don't
And your daddy says you won't
I'm boiling up inside
No way I'm gonna lose out this time

Tie your mother down

Lock your daddy out the door

Lyrics:
When the moon rises
The dogs will howl
Look out of your window
I'll be on the prowl
I'm not usually
A gambling man
Ooh, ooh, ooh I just wanna
Hold up my hand

And say I'm
Taking a chance on your love
Woah, I'm
Taking a chance on your love

I'm not superstitious, uh
And I don't wear no charm
I don't carry my heart
On the sleeve of my arm
Seven years of bad luck, please
Don't trouble me
'Cos when I look into the mirror
Here's the future I see

I'm taking a chance on your love
Woah, I'm taking a chance on your love

Place your bets, better yet
Don't forget, what I said
Roll the dice, spin the wheel
Always remember, you've got to keep it real

I don't believe in voodoo
Black magic was never my style
But I believe that you do
And it won't take much time
To gather the potions
That weave your magic spell
The moon on the ocean
Has a secret to tell

But anyway I'm
Taking a chance on your love
Woah, I'm taking a chance on your love
I'm taking a chance on your love

Lyrics:
Paul: Woo. Oh yeah

I believe there's no evil out there we didn't have a hand in
You believe it's a time for peace and a time for understanding
We don't get what the other guy is saying
We hear the words but we don't understand
So around the world the same old anger raging
And we all cry for shame and the same old tragedy goes down

We believe there's a better way to fight
There's a way to make children safe at night
Yeah, we believe
We believe there's a war we could be winning
But the only way to win it is to give what we need to receive

I believe we need a hero to step boldly from the shadows, ah yeah
You believe there must be someone on the scene that fits the bill
A man or a woman who knows how to say I'm sorry
With courage in his heart to match his creed
A leader who can bring a brand new morning
And match the tide of changes
Match the intent with the deed, yeah, yeah, yeah

We believe there's a deed of obligation
To bring reconciliation
To make peace with every nation in our time
Yeah
We believe there's not a minute we should be wasting
When the darkness falls it's too late to fix the crime
It's peace that we need
That's what we believe

Every father, every mother knows the meaning
Human treasures that our leaders do forget
And the bullets fly in the face of common reason
And the pain that we give is the legacy in the end we get, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We believe there's a song that's worth the singing
A song of truth we're bringing
There's a way to share the Earth with everyone
We believe (yeah) every creature has a being
Has a right to respect and feeling
To live and breathe and flourish in the sun
Yeah

That's what we believe
That's what we believe

Lyrics:
Paul: Talkin' bout love in a peaceful world. Here's Wishing Well.

Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
I know you ain't going anywhere
Run round the town singing your blues
I know you ain't going anywhere

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
Oh, ooh, yeah

Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself
Or is that what you're trying to do
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through

You've always got you something to hide
Something you just can't tell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
Ooh

Oh, but I know what you're wishing for
Love in a peaceful world, love
Love in a peaceful world, love
Love in a peaceful world

Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet at the wishing well

Oh yeah
But I know that everybody has a dream
Everybody has a wish
Dream on
My sweet dreamer
Dream on
My sweet dreamer
Everybody has a dream
Everybody has a wish
Everybody has a dream
Everybody has a wish
Dream on sweet dreamer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
