A new man

Rain running down my face

Soup is cold on your table
And if the black crow flies
Find a new destination
That is the sign, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to ogre battle fight

He gives a great big cry
Swallow up the ocean
With a mighty tongue he catches flies
Palm of a hand incredible size
Great big eye
Has a focus in your direction
And the battle is won
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to ogre battle fight

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh
Ooh, watch out

The ogre men are still inside
Two-way mirror mountain
They gotta stay clear and out of sight
You can't see in but you can't see out
So keep a good look out
The ogre men are coming out
Two-way mirror mountain
They're running up behind
And they're coming all about
Can't go east 'cos you gotta go south

Ogre men are going home
And now the great big fight is over
Bugle blow let trumpet cry
Ogre battle lives for evermore
Wow, oh, oh
'Cos you can come along
You can come along

Lyrics:
Freddie: Ha, ha, ha. OK darlings, this is a little, delicate little number called 'White Queen'.

So sad her eyes
Smiling dark eyes
So sad her eyes
As it began, ohh

On such a breathless night as this
Upon my brow the lightest kiss
I walked alone
And all around the air did say
My lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known
The white queen walks and the night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in her hair

Needing - unheard
Pleading - one word
So sad her eyes
She cannot see, ohh

How did thee fare, what have thee seen
The mother of the willow green
I call her name
And 'neath the window have I stayed
I loved the foot steps that she made
And when she came
White queen how my heart did ache
And dry my lips no words can make
Still I wait

My Goddess hear my darkest fear
I speak too late
It's for evermore that I wait

Dear friends, goodbye
No tears in my eyes
So sad it ends
As it began

Lyrics:
Freddie: Right now, I'm gonna do a, pretty special song, this a new song from our forthcoming album, it hasn't quite been recorded yet, anyway, it's a song called 'You Take My Breath Away'. You've got to listen to this one.

Look into my eyes and you'll see
I'm the only one
You've captured my love
Stolen my heart
Changed my life

Everytime you make a move
You destroy my mind
And the way you touch
I lose control and shiver deep inside
You take my breath away

You can reduce me to tears
With a single sigh
Every breath that you take
Any sound that you make
Is a whisper in my ear

I would give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surely die
If you dismiss me from your love
You take my breath away

So please don't go
Don't leave me here all by myself
I get ever so lonely from time to time
I will find you
Anywhere you go
I'll be right behind you
Right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep till I find you
To tell you when I've found you
I love you

Lyrics:
Brian: This has nothing to do with the next song, which is called '39'
Freddie: Come on, everybody

In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
And the ship sailed out into the blue and misty morn
Sweetest sight ever seen

And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
The score brave souls inside
For so many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried

Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew

Ahh, ah, ah, ahh
Ahh, ah, ahh, ah, ah, ahh
Ahh, ah, ahhh, ah, ahh, ahhh, ah
Ahh, ah, ah, ahh, ah
Ahh, ah, ah, ah, ahhhh

In the year of '39 simple ship came from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news from a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavenly weigh
Now the earth is old and grey, to a new home we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone, now I'm older but a year
Your mothers eyes from her eyes cry to me

Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew

Everybody
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
All my life still ahead - pity me

Ahh, ah, ah
Alright

I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings
Be your Valentino just for you

Ooh love, ooh loverboy
What you doing tonight (oooh, hey boy)
Set my alarm, turn on my charm
That's because I'm a good old fashioned loverboy

Ooh, let me feel your heartbeat (grow faster, faster)
(Ooh) can you feel my love heat
Come on and sit on my hot seat of love
And tell me how do you feel right after all
I'd like for you and I to go romancing
Say the word, your wish is my command

Ooh love, ooh loverboy
What you doing tonight (ooh, hey boy)
Write my letter
Feel much better
And use that fancy patter on the telephone, yeah

When I'm not with you
Think of you always
I miss you
When I'm not with you
Think of me always
I love you, love you

Hey boy, where do you get it from?
Hey boy, where did you go?
I learned my passion
In the good old fashioned school of loverboys, yeah

Dining at the Ritz we'll meet at nine precisely (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine o'clock)
I will pay the bill, you taste the wine
Driving back in style in my saloon will do quite nicely
Take me back to yours that will be fine
Come on and get it

What're you doing tonight, ooh hey boy
Everything's all right
Just hold on tight
That's because I'm a good old fashioned, fashioned
Lover boy

'Absolute Greatest' Video Introduction:
Freddie: OK, you might just a, just about recognise this one. This is called ah, My Melancholy Blues.
Lyrics: (lyrics in red are lost from the 'Rare Live' version)
Another party's over
And I'm left cold sober
My baby left me for somebody new, oooh, oooh
I don't wanna talk about it
Want to forget about it
I'm intoxicated with that special brew

So come and get me
Let me
Get in that sinking feeling
That says my heart is on an all time low, so
Don't expect me
To behave perfectly
And wear that sunny smile
My guess is I'm in for a cloudy and overcast
Don't try and stop me
'Cos I'm heading for that stormy weather soon

I'm causing a mild sensation
With this new occupation
I'm permanently glued
To this extraordinary mood
So now move over
And let me take over
With my
Melancholy blues

I'm causing a mild sensation
With this new occupation
I'm in the news
I'm just getting used to my new exposure
So come into my enclosure
And meet my
Melancholy blues

Ahhhhh
The machine of a dream, such a clean machine

With your hand on my grease gun, honey
Oh, it's like a disease son

I'm in love with my car (ooh, yeah)
Gotta feel for my automobile (alright)
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Rather buy me a new carburettor
So she made tracks saying this is the end now
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now

Lyrics:
(Ad-libbed vocal singalong)

Freddie: Fuck as I could, I tell you. I'll get you after a couple of songs, you wait. You're on

Yeah

Um, boom, bah, bay
Um, boom, bah, bay
Dum, dum, da-dah, doo-dah

Pressure pushing down on me
Pushing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Um, bah, bah, bay
Um, bah, bah, bay
Eh, day, dah
Eh, day, dah
That's OK

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
Let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets

Day, day, day
Bay, bay, bay, be-bay
OK

Chipping around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days, it never rains but it pours
Eh, doh, day-dep
Eh, ba, ba, bop
Eh, doh, doh
Day, dop

People on streets
Eh, dah, dee, dah, day
People on streets
Eh, dah, dee, dah, dee, dah, dee, dah

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
Let me out
Pray tomorrow
Higher, higher, higher

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why?
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to
Care for the people on the
Edge of the night
And love dares you to
Change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves

Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

Lyrics:
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, yeah
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 must be warmer now
I'll soon be 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
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 grow but never die
I can fly my friends

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
Ooh

I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
With the show

The show must go on
The show must go on

Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

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

Woh, your mummy and your daddy gonna plague me till I die
Can't understand it, I'm just a peace loving guy

Big, big, big, big, big, big, daddy out of doors
Tie your mother down

All your love tonight, yeah, oh yeah

Lyrics:
Oh, 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 got nothing, no
Nothing, nothing to show
Make me a celebrity

I want to be, oh yeah
A face on TV, ah ha
Then you can see
I'm a celebrity

I wanna get my features
On your TV
See this creature on every street
On every scene

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 got nothing, no
Nothing, nothing to show
Make me a celebrity

I want to be
A face on TV, ah, ha
Then you can see, tell me Brian
I'm a celebrity
Oh, 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 lackadaisical
And if I was real good
I'd stand no chance at all, oh but a

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

(Then you can say) then you can say, mercy now
You knew me one day
(Then you will see) and then you will know, ha
I'm a celebrity
Oh, now tell me right

C-Celebrity, ha, I want to be a
C-C-C-lebrity, I've got to be a
C-Celebrity, yeah, make me a star
C-C-C-C-lebrity

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

Al Murray: Hey hey
