....has been one of the highlights on tour IMO. From were I can find complete lyrics for this song? |
| Going Back 10.05.2005 12:36 |
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? |

@going back Nice try, almost perfect... ;-) |
| Going Back 10.05.2005 12:45 |
perfect for me :D |
| Jjeroen 10.05.2005 12:51 |
"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 |
| Going Back 10.05.2005 12:53 |
sorry, just wanted to help |
| Son of Bryans Permed Poodle 10.05.2005 13:03 |
You did dear... sure you did!!!! |
| ggo1 10.05.2005 13:29 |
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 |
| Ian R 10.05.2005 15:10 |
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. |

I love it. ....it's more like an RT solo song though. IMHO ....It's a beautiful simple moving song. |
| John S Stuart 10.05.2005 17:00 |
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" ? |
| Last Cyborg 10.05.2005 17:26 |
And knowledge we've stored not stolen |

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! |

Has Brian played on this song at all on the tour, or has it been just Jamie and Danny each time? |
| Jimmy Dean 11.05.2005 00:28 |
sounds like the stuff i wrote in junior high... |

Brian played it twice at 46664 (Cape Town 2003 / George 2004), on the remaining gigs it was played by Jamie and Danny. |

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 |
| kerfuffle87 11.05.2005 10:58 |
that looks pretty good to me - just listened to it! i hate it though when you can't quite work out what the lyrics are - if in doubt just mumble ;-) |
| Drummer imense! 12.05.2005 04:56 |
I luved this song when i heard it in cardiff, it was great to calm the audiance right down! And its such a dam beutiful song!! Im glad he sung it! :) |
| Peta 13.05.2005 09:15 |
I think it´s a beautiful ballad, I like it very much. |

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. |
| look what they've done to claudi.... 14.05.2005 09:38 |
i like the song, roger's voice is still damn sexy... |
| Grantcdn 15.05.2005 00:26 |
Fantastic song....a bit lennon-esque...and truly amazing... |
| Arnaldo "Ogre-" Silveira 16.05.2005 21:15 |
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- |
