I Wanna Testify
Written by Roger Taylor and George Clinton. Length 3:44.

This track is only available on the 7" single.
Lyrics:
(Do wop, do wop, yeah)
(Do wop, do wop)
(Do wop, do wop, yeah)
(Do wop, do wop)

(Do wop, do wop, yeah) we met each other introduced by her brother
(Do wop, do wop) a cat I'd known all my life
(Do wop, do wop, yeah) partying and dancing, moonlight and romancing
(Do wop, do wop) soon to be husband and wife
(Do wop, do wop, yeah) my friends call me crazy, her folks call her lazy
(Do wop, do wop) but our love counts for life
(Do wop, do wop, yeah) if we stick together the pressures we would weather
(Do wop, do wop) not knowing we were in for a fall

Women and drinking, I'm in love (loving and thinking)
Will do it to you everytime
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Women and drinking, I'm in love (loving and thinking)
Will do it to you everytime

Find yourself going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, ah, ah, ah
I'm going down, down, down, down, down, down, ah, ah, ah
Ow, I just wanna testify
What the women don't owe to me
I just wanna testify
What the women don't owe to me

(Do wop, do wop, yeah)

(Do wop, do wop, yeah) we had a boy, my pride and joy
(Do wop, do wop) I took a job day and night
(Do wop, do wop, yeah) tired and wired, one day I got fired
(Do wop, do wop) that's when we started to fight
(Do wop, do wop, yeah) with time on his hands, a man ain't a man
(Do wop, do wop) and all he loves he starts to neglect
(Do wop, do wop, yeah) I didn't go far, went straight to the bar
(Do wop, do wop) and drank away my self respect

Women and drinking, loving and thinking
Will do it to you everytime
Women and drinking, I'm in love (loving and thinking)
Will do it to you everytime

Find yourself going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, ah, ah, ah
I'm going down, down, down, down, down, down, ah, ah, ah
Ow, I just wanna testify
What the women don't owe to me
I just wanna testify
What the women don't owe to me

(Do wop, do wop, yeah)
(Do wop, do wop) let me get on back to my story now

(Do wop, do wop, yeah) care about no-one but my wife and my son
(Do wop, do wop) that's when I started to roam
(Do wop, do wop, yeah) bar room to them, it happened so soon
(Do wop, do wop) I found myself out of home
(Do wop, do wop, yeah) she went back to her mother, I fought with her brother
(Do wop, do wop) and in my heart I know I was wrong
(Do wop, do wop, yeah) please pay attention to the words that I mention
(Do wop, do wop) and listen to the moral of the song

Ow
(Do wop, do wop, yeah) I just, I just
(Do wop, do wop) I just wanna testify
Ow
Yeah

Turn On The TV
Written by Roger Taylor. Length 3:22.
This track is only available as the B-Side to the 'I Wanna Testify' single.
Lyrics:
Ahhh
Oh

Collect your senses and your wits
And what you've left on your mind
All the so called modern caring virtues
Are likely to change, you'll find
So let's turn on the TV, wake up
You know what - that sounds better it's all for free
Turn on the TV as it takes a horizontal hold
On your energy

Just gotta get, gotta get, gotta go, gotta get up out of here
Gotta get, gotta get, gotta go, gotta get up out of here

Go to the place over the hill
Where the grass is greener
Where the life is sweeter
And all the time we know
That it never is, that it never is
That it never is, that it never is
And it's very likely that we never will

Turn on the TV - find myself a-talking to
One of those quadraphonic pioneers
Turn on the TV - he said give up that stereo
Boy I said I've only got two ears
Turn on the TV - things ain't so black and white
When grey is the colour of my best friend's sweater
Turn on the TV - and relay some greatest circulated idea, yeah

Just gotta get, gotta get, gotta go, gotta get up out of here
Gotta get, gotta get, gotta go, gotta get up out of here

Go to the place over the hill
Where the grass is greener
Where the life is sweeter
And all the time we know
That it never is, that it never is
That it never is, that it never is
And it's very likely that we never will

Lyrics: (the lyrics in white are sung by Felix, and the lyrics in red are sung by Arty (Roger))
Somewhere in the world it's a sunny day

In a heartbeat baby I realise
When I look in your eyes through your disguise
How could anybody be so beautiful?

Stopped in my tracks with a big time shock
My hijacked heart just would not stop
How could anybody be so wonderful?

(Ooooh, ooooh) What we need is to communicate
(Ooooh, ooooh) Why don't we join our hands and banish hate?
(Ahhhh, ahhh, ahhh) Somewhere in the world it's a sunny day
Say yeah, eh

Wanna shout from the rooftops, tell the town
The sun is up, let's fool around
How could anybody be so beautiful?

Sky's the limit, you by my side
Together we could learn to fly
How could anybody feel so wonderful?

(Ooooh, ooooh) What we need is to communicate
(Ooooh, ooooh) Why don't we join our hands and banish hate?
(Ahhhh, ahhh, ahhh) Somewhere in the world it's a sunny day
Say yeah, eh, yeah, heh

In a heartbeat baby I realise
When I look in your eyes through your disguise
How could anybody be so beautiful?
(You're still a pain in the ass)
Stopped in my tracks with a big time shock
My hijacked heart just would not stop
How could anybody feel so wonderful?

(You're a pain in the ass) so wonderful
(You're still a pain in the ass) say yeah, eh, yeah, heh

Hijack my heart
Woman you're so wonderful
In a heartbeat
We could learn to fly
Woman you're so beautiful
In a heartbeat
Knew I needed you
Woman you're so beautiful
In a heartbeat
When I saw you baby
Woman you're so wonderful
Hijack my heart

Woman you're so wonderful
Yeah

Woman You're So Beautiful (But Still A Pain In The Ass) (Dance Mix)
Written by Roger Taylor and Felix Taylor. Length 5:36.
This mix is an extended version of the Main Mix. Some vocals are added, whilst some are lost or echoed. It also adds some instrumental sections and additional effects. This is a good remix that retains the feel of the original.

Woman You're So Beautiful (But Still A Pain In The Ass) (Mad Mix)
Written by Roger Taylor and Felix Taylor. Length 6:04.
This is a much heavier mix, adding additional drums throughout the song, and losing some vocal sections. These sections are replaced by new sections based on Roger's 'pain in the ass' vocals, and the song contains a new, fast, drum-based outro. Of Felix's vocals that are retained, many have numerous effects applied to them. Altogether, this is a great remix which gives the song a completely different feel.

Lyrics: (the 'Almost Completely Nude' version retains the lyrics in red)
God would weep
If he existed
And he saw what men can do to men
He'd think that we were twisted

His unblinking eye would blink and then
He'd say not in my name you don't
You stupid little men
With your arrogance and ignorance
You do it time and time again

(Ahhhh) I must be getting old
(Ahhhh) There's a fire and a fury
Driven deep into my soul
(Ahhhh) It's the helplessness that comes
From being under your control
And everything is broken

We got the high street full of holes
The high street's full of holes
High street's full of holes

Five million cameras stare at us
You treat us like we're fools
Our privacy is meaningless
We're suffocated by ten thousand rules

This kingdom's not united
Just a complicated mess
Are we in Europe?
Half in Europe?
Not in Europe?
We're soulless, spineless, directionless

(Ahhhh) I must be getting old
(Ahhhh) There's a fire and a fury
Driven deep into my soul
(Ahhhh) It's the helplessness that comes
From being under your control
And everything is broken
Stylophone

And everything is broken

Why send our young men out to die
In wars that we don't understand
Why on earth should we be meddling
In places like Afghanistan

Price is much too high
In terms of money or our precious men
Your reasons are mysterious
And quite beyond our ken

(Ahhhh) I must be getting old
(Ahhhh) There's a fire and a fury
Driven deep into my soul
(Ahhhh) It's the helplessness that comes
You even sold our gold
And everything is broken
