The harder we play
The faster we fall
When we think that we know it all
We know nothing at all
The letter arrives
Like a bolt from the blue
So what's left of your lives
All your dreams last to you
Say it ain't true
Say it today
When I open my eyes
Will it all go away??
Say it's not true
Say it for real
Can't be happening to you?
Can't be happening to me?
It's hard not to cry
It's hard to believe
So much hard they can pain
So much reason to greed
With the wonders of science
All the knowledge we've stored
Magic potions for lives
People just can't afford
Say it's not true
You can say it's not right
It is hard to believe
The size of the crime
Say it's not true
You can say it's not real
Can't be happening to you?
Can't be happening to me?
"So much hard they can pain"
Wah?? LOL! Sure you mean 'so much heartache and pain'!? ;-)
Btw: I think you took this lyrics from the original 46664 tv broadcast??
The lyrics have changed a bit ;-)
'Magic potion' = 'magic cocktails' now, for instance
I'm Pretty sure it should be
It's hard not to cry
It's hard to believe
So much heartache and pain
So much reason to grieve
but I could be wrong.
When you see the lyrics written down like that, it just screams at you that its a Roger song.

ok im going to listen to the version Rog sang at 46664 and write here the exact words he sings:
The harder we play
The faster we fall
When we think that we know it all
We know nothing at all
The letter arrives
Like a bolt from the blue
so whats left of your lives
All your dreams last to you
Say it aint true
say it today
when i open my eyes
will it all go away
Say its not true
say it for real
cant be happening to you
cant be happening to me
its hard not to cry
its hard to believe
so much heartache and pain
so much reason to grieve
with the wonders of science
all the knowledge we've stolen
magic cocktails for lives
people just cant afford
say its not true
you can say its not right
its hard to belive
the size of the crime
say its not true
you can say its not real
cant be happening to you
cant be happening to me
There the words from 46664
The final verse has been changed too. At Cardiff it was as follows:
Say its not true,
You can say its not real,
Could be happening to you,
Could be happening to me.
taylorgaga (Begg):
The letter arrives
Like a bolt from the blue
so whats left of your lives
All your dreams last to you
Is it not: "All your dreams LOST to you" ?
taylorgaga (Begg): "hey from the quality i got thats what it sounded like! so if i heard it wrong then i apologise but thats what it sounded like to me"
No probs, but from the way you were talking, I thought you lifed the lyrics from the 46664 DVD - so the quality would have been the best around!
After checking that site these might be the right words, almost :D
The harder we play
The faster we fall
When we think that we know it all
We know nothing at all
The letter arrives
Like a bolt from the blue
So what's left of your lives
All your dreams lost to you
Say it ain't true
Say it today
When I open my eyes
Will it all go away
Say it's not true
Say it for real
Can't be happening to you
Can't be happening to me
It's hard not to cry
It's hard to believe
So much heartache and pain
So much reason to grieve
With the wonders of science
All the knowledge we've stored
Magic cocktails for lives
People just can't afford
Say it's not true
You can say it's not right
It's hard to believe
The size of the crime
Say it's not true
You can say it's not real
Can't be happening to you
Can't be happening to me
At that 46664 site, I read the following:
Is This The World We Created? (Live)
Additional DVD Introduction: (by Andrea Corr)
Thank you. I'm absolutely honoured to sing this next song with Brian May. It was written by Brian and Freddie Mercury, and for so many obvious reasons, it is very special tonight. One of those reasons being, that I will mention, is that the last time this was performed it was, in fact, on Live Aid by Brian and Freddie. Now, I think we all know how successful the Live Aid campaign was, let's hope tonight that this campaign 46664 can achieve as much, if not more. "
Last time on Live AID??? I thought that this song was on the setlist during the Magic Tour. Andrea must do her homework better, or I'm making a huge mistake here.
Roger sung this on the Cape Town 46664 as "magic cocktails for life". Then the tape was edited for the DVD and you listen "magic POTIONS for life". I prefer the lyrics with "cocktails".
Cheers,
Ogre-
