what do you think is the best Queen song lyrically, my vote at the moment goes to the Fairy Fellers Master-Stroke, look at how complex these lyrics are: He’s a fairy feller The fairy folk have gathered round the new moon shine To see the feller crack a nut at nights noon time To swing his ace he swears, as it climbs he dares To deliver... The master-stroke Ploughman, ’waggoner will’, and types Politician with senatorial pope - he’s a dilly-dally-o Pedagogue squinting, wears a frown And a satyr peers under lady’s gown, dirty fellow What a dirty laddio Tatterdemalion and a junketer There’s a thief and a dragonfly trumpeter - he’s my hero Fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend The nymph in yellow ’can we see the master-stroke’ What a quaere fellow Soldier, sailor, tinker, tailor, ploughboy Waiting to hear the sound And the arch-magician presides He is the leader Oberon and titania watched by a harridan Mab is the queen and there’s a good apothecary-man Come to say hello Fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend The nymph in yellow What a quaere fellow The ostler stares with hands on his knees Come on mr. feller, crack it open if you please |

we are queen fans...we know the f***ing lyrics to this wonderful song - there really was no f***ing need for you to type them out still it shows that the educational system is not quite a corpse yet - well done!!! - no really!!! well done indeed!!! |

| Scott_Mercury 15.02.2005 18:15 |
I feel The Show must go on has a great lyrics too. You know that had to be challenging for Fred to sing some of the words on Innuendo, knowing what he was going through...and what was coming. |

| Las Palabras De Amor 15.02.2005 18:52 |
Anyways...my vote goes to Save Me. Brian did a really good job, the lyrics are really meaningful. |
| Gunpowder Gelatine 15.02.2005 18:54 |
I think either The Show Must Go On or Bohemian Rhapsody. Save Me and Too Much Love Will Kill You are great, too. |
| Jimmy Dean 15.02.2005 18:56 |
Yea, definitely to The Show Must Go On |
| DontStopHimNow 15.02.2005 19:51 |
I always loved the death on two legs lyrics.. Talk like a big business tycoon Youre just a hot air balloon So know one gives you a damn! Youre just an overgrown schoolboy... LET ME TAN YOUR HIDE! |
| flash00. 15.02.2005 20:01 |
it has to be show must go on,, thats a real tough one b/c now im thinking there all fucking amazing!!!*takes a deep breath* lolll |
| Sebastian 15.02.2005 20:15 |
I'd go with Innuendo. And Black Queen as a close second. |
| The Fairy King 15.02.2005 20:15 |
Innuendo Bohemian Rhapsody Teo Torriatte These Are The Days Of Our Live Show Must Go On Prophet's Song White Queen and many many more xD |
| My Melancholy Blues 15.02.2005 21:06 |
mine would be ( no order) Bo Rhap Save Me White Queen Prophet's Song TMOTBQ Who Wants To Live Forever It's a hard life All God's People Innuendo Bicycle Race--- :D yeah, many many more... |

March of the Black Queen and I'm Love With My Car..c'mon...automolove! Best ever! |
| Victoria 15.02.2005 23:00 |
I agree with most of what you guys already have up (The Show Must Go On, Who Wants to Live Forever, Death on Two Legs, Bohemian Rhapsody, *You Take My Breath Away*, The Prophet's Song) but I think one is being left out... Yes, Is This the World We Created...? This song is a short set of lyrics, but those few words convey a very powerful message, especially that last line (like with Who Wants to Live, it's the last line that is the most powerful). Oh yeah, and Mustapha is pretty good lyrically ;) |
| MercuryArts 15.02.2005 23:42 |
Yes, Is This the World We Created...? This song is a short set of lyrics, but those few words convey a very powerful message, especially that last line. Yes, I remember when that came out I was only 15 and that line hit me right in the gut. It still does. I especially love how Freddie varies it live everytime, sometimes breaking character and allowing his emotions to get the better of him. Gives me chills! |
| Teo_torriate04 16.02.2005 02:55 |
For sheer simplicity yet very powerful emotion, I've always loved Dear Friends. More than just another song, it's poetry set to music. |
| nino trovato 16.02.2005 07:37 |
Fairy Feller's Master Stroke. |
| Rotwang 16.02.2005 07:47 |
My two favorites are The Show Must Go On and White Queen. I feel there are plenty of Queen songs with great lyrics but these stand out with the combo of poetic lyrics and powerful music. |

Chinese Torture :-) Seriously: You Take My Breath Away |
| boy of destiny 16.02.2005 11:54 |
White Man has to be up there. "Man learned how to teach, then forgot how to learn." I love that line! Save Me, The Show Must Go On, there's so many great songs. Made in Heaven is obviously very moving as well. |
| JDL2nd 16.02.2005 12:05 |

| Farlander 16.02.2005 13:23 |
Death on Two Legs Flick of the Wrist Freddie really did a good job on those "Grr, we're getting screwed" songs. |
| Jay Mantis 16.02.2005 15:28 |
Death on Two Legs and The Prophet's Song are definitely my favorites. |
| Awesome-O _4000 16.02.2005 17:51 |
'39... Duh! |
| jasen101 16.02.2005 22:24 |

Have you seen the painting that The Fairy Fellor's Master Stroke was inspired by? search on google images "Fairy Feller's Master Stroke" |
| picky 17.02.2005 20:11 |
the best song is ... It's a hard life!!!! It's a beautiful song ... I simply love it! |
| redyfredy01 17.02.2005 21:30 |
I think the best song just judging by lyrics would have to be Bohemian Rhapsody. I could never think of something like that, you know what i mean? |
| lilyofthevalley39 18.02.2005 10:05 |
My favorites would be The Prophet's song The march of the black queen Bohemian rhapsody 39 Who wants to live forever Killer queen No one but you (only the good die young) Lily of the valley Seaside rendezvous Death on two legs Save me Dear friends These are the days of our lives Teo Torriate The fairy feller master stroke It's a hard life and White queen, but there are way too many great songs to chose from. |
| Roy Queen 18.02.2005 17:11 |
It's sooo many good songs lyrically, but if I should pick just one, I would have said In The Lap Of The Gods, even though it's short, but it's brilliant! |
