2) Don't Stop Me Now

Tonight, I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world, I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in ecstasy, so (Don't stop me now)
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time)
I'm a shooting star, leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car, passing by, like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go, go, go
There's no stopping me

I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now if you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (Yes, I'm havin' a good time)
I don't wanna stop at all

I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite, I'm out of control
I'm a sex machine, ready to reload
Like an atom bomb, about to
Oh, oh, oh, oh, explode

I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you

Don't stop me, don't stop me, don't stop me, hey, hey, hey
Don't stop me, don't stop me, ooh, ooh, ooh
Don't stop me, don't stop me, have a good time, good time
Don't stop me, don't stop me, ah

Oh, I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now if you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (Yes, I'm havin' a good time)
I don't wanna stop at all

Don't stop me, don't stop me, don't stop me
Don't stop me, don't stop me, ooh, ooh, ahh
Don't stop me, don't stop me, hey, hey, hey
Don't stop me, don't stop me

3) Love of My Life

Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me

Love of my life, don't leave me
You've stolen my love, you now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me

You will remember when this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older, I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you, I still love you

Back, hurry back
Please, bring it back home to me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life

4) Somebody to Love

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet (Take a look at yourself)
Take a look in the mirror and cry (And cry)
Lord, what you're doing to me? Yeah yeah

I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord
Somebody (Somebody), ooh somebody (Somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard (He works hard) every day of my life
I work 'til I ache my bones
At the end (At the end of the day)
I take home my hard-earned pay all (On my own)
I go down (Down) on my knees (Knees)
And I start to pray
'Til the tears run down from my eyes
Lord, somebody (Somebody), ooh somebody (Please)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Every day (Every day)
I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
Ah, got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe in
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh, Lord

Somebody (Somebody), ooh somebody (Somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(Can anybody find me someone to love?)
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (You just keep losing and losing)
I'm OK, I'm alright (He's alright, he's alright)
Ain't gonna face no defeat (Yeah, yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day (Someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Somebody, somebody
Somebody, somebody
Somebody, somebody
Find me somebody, find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

5) The Great Pretender

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (Ooh ooh)
Pretending I'm doing well (Ooh ooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (Ooh ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (Ooh ooh)
I play the game, but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Ooh ooh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown (Ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around, yeah
Ooh ooh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown (Ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Yeah, ooh

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Ooh ooh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown (Ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

6) The Show Must Go On

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 makeup 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, 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, yeah yeah
Ooh, inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile, still, stays on
Yeah, oh oh, oh
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly, my friends
The show must go on, yeah yeah
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
On with the show
Show must go on

7) These Are the Days of Our Lives

Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids when we were young
Thing seemed so perfect, you know?
The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young
The sun was always shinin', we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know
The rest of my life's been just a show
Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look and I find I still love you
You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide
Ain't that a shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sitting and thinkin' on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow
'Cause these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change
Those were the days of our lives, yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find, I still love you
I still love you

8) Under Pressure (with David Bowie)

Mmm num ba de
Dum bum ba be
Doo buh dum ba beh beh

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

Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da

That's OK

That's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out!"

Tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets

Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
OK

Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor
These are the days: it never rains but it pours

Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap

People on streets
Ee da de da de
People on streets
Ee da de da de da de da

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out!"

Tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high!
Pressure on people, people on streets

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, why!?

Love, love, love, love, love

Insanity laughs under pressure
We're breaking

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, 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

9) We Are the Champions

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
Oh, we are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
Oh, we are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

10) Who Wants to Live Forever

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams
Yet slips away from us?

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one
Sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die?

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
