Song of the day





Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the best if not the best song of all time. Performed by Queen and of course the ever charismatic Freddy Mercury. But my personal favorite is another song by Queen. Maybe it's not as popular as Bohemian Rhapsody but there's a certain aura about it which gives me the strength and picks me up when i'm feeling low. The mentality of it just makes you feel so strong and fearless to face all of life's most difficult and tiring occurrences. 


"The Show Must Go On" is a song which chronicles the effort of Freddy Mercury continuing to perform despite approaching the end of his life. Mercury was so ill and could barely walk when the band recorded the song in 1990.


"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 make-up 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 make-up 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!
The Show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin!
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!


I'll top the bill!
I'll overkill!
I have to find the will to carry on!
On with the show!
On with the show!


The Show must go on.
