does anybody know the song called "in search of love" ? few days ago I've seen the original lyrics, in the "rock museum" in munich, written on two sheets by freddie . |
| Supersonic_Man89 22.12.2013 17:38 |
Personally no, can you shed any more information about it? How legit is this museum? |

link It is in the Olympic Tower...so I hope visitors are not in fear of heights :) It's pretty nice there. The song never had an official release...as far as I know. But it was recorded( even some sources say "NO" to that)...no idea what happend with the tapes. |

Here's what I was able to make out: Man with the money is standing on the street Check the pretty ladies and working (?) maybe Which one to treat (?) The world turns slow and still we do not know You (?) your trade and the bills get paid And that’s the way it goes And all the lonely people in search of love In search of love Middle aged with a life gone wrong Need another lover (?) to get it on Cold hard cash is all that lasts The moment is gone and before too long It’s in the past And all the lonely … etc. Straight laced, smiling face (?) of approval All the saints, state of grace Look down upon us all See our tease, hear the progress Listen to the problems No problem at all (fade to end) |

I've included my idea of the hand-written lyric and filled the ?'s/gaps with what I reckon to Lord Gaga's transcription Man with the money is standing on the street Check the pretty ladies and wondering maybe Which one to treat. The world turns slow and still we do not know You ply your trade and the bills get paid And that’s the way it goes And all the lonely people in search of love In search of love Middle aged with a life gone wrong Need another lover to get it on Cold hard cash is all that lasts The moment is gone and before too long It’s in the past And all the lonely … etc. Straight laced, smiling face Chorus of approval All the saints, state of grace Look down upon us all See our tease, hear the progress Listen to the problems No problem at all (fade to end) |

Ah, your additions make perfect sense! Thanks! |

Maybe one for his solo album, has that kind of style to it. |

The doodles might suggest the song was written somewhere around the Innuendo era or even later than that. 'Dreaming', 'Tranquil', 'Magic', Frantically' etc.. could have been used to start off the lyrics for 'A Winters Tale' Also 'Middle aged' 'Life gone wrong' 'Only cash lasts' makes me wonder if this isn't his way of getting to terms with his pending doom. Like Brians lyrics in TSMGO. |

Thanks for sharing it!! here's what I thought might be those missing words; Man with the money is standing on the street Check the pretty ladies and wondering maybe Which one to treat. The world turns slow and still we do not know You ply your trade and the bills get paid And that’s the way it goes And all the lonely people in search of love In search of love Middle aged with a life gone wrong Need another lover to get it on Cold hard cash is all that lasts The moment is gone and before too long It’s in the past And all the lonely … etc. Straight laced, smiling face Chorus of approval All the saints, state of grace Look down upon us all See our tears, hear the problems Listen to the problems No problem at all (fade to end) The only bit I changed are the words 'tease' and 'progress' at the end, to 'tears' and 'problems.' I'm not sure they look like the right words though, but I think they go with the overall feel of the song which seems really sad. it seems to be about lonely people, in particular a wealthy middle aged man, going to visit prostitutes (on the street, which one to treat, etc).....and how the moment is gone so soon and the only thing that lasts is cold hard cash. How the straight laced get a chorus of approval and the saints look down upon all those lonely people (look down as in judge).........not sure if the song is asking them to see the tears and hear the problems or if it's just saying that those pretty ladies have no problem in listening to them.... That's just my first impression, but of course Freddie didn't like interpretations....and there I've gone and given a brief one, lol |

Correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think Freddie wrote too much about love or searching for it, after he settled down with Jim. He co-wrote a few with John, but i never felt they were from the heart. He also wrote a couple for the Barcelona album, but i believe so only because it's such an important and obvious theme of opera. However, if you compare that with The Works (Man on the Prowl, It's A Hard Life, ) or Hot Space (Body Language, Staying Power), or his solo work (Too many to list), that was most definitely his theme of the early to mid eighties. I definitely think this fits in with them. Could be an interesting question to find the answer to though. |

Ok, I made a bit of a pig's ear out of my posting, sorry for the two posts. The second one is correct.....with the word changes to 'tears' and 'prayers.' I had tried to edit the first, but it created another. Don't want to delete it in case I create yet another, lol |
