Made in Heaven

1995

 

"It's a beautiful day", "let me live", "Mother love", "you don't fool me" e "a winter's tale" sono inediti realizzati prima della morte di Mercury. "Made in heaven" e "I was born to love you" sono stati pubblicati per la prima volta da Mercury in "Mr. bad guy" nell'85 e qui reinterpretati dai Queen, come pure "heaven for everyone", pubblicato da Taylor con i Cross nel 1987. "Too much love will kill you" venne eseguita per la prima volta nel 1992 nel "Freddy Mercury Tribute" e pubblicata nell'album di May "Back to the Light". "My life has been saved" apparve per la prima volta nell'88, come B-side nel singolo "Scandal". In "Mother love" è inserita, alla fine, una parte di "Going Back", pubblicata dai Queen nel '74 con lo pseudonimo di"Larry Laurex".

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY:

It's a beautiful day
The sun is shining
I feel good
And no-one's gonna stop me now, oh yeah

It's a beautiful day
I feel good, I feel right
And no-one, no-one's gonna stop me now mama

Sometimes I feel so sad, so sad, so bad
But no-one's gonna stop me now, no-one
It's hopeless, so hopeless to even try

 
 

MADE IN HEAVEN:

I'm taking my right in destiny
Willing to play my part
Living with painful memories

Loving with all my heart

Made in heaven, made in heaven
It was all meant to be, yeah
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what they say

Can't you see
That's what everybody says to me

Can't you see, oh
I know, I know, I know that it's true
Yes it's really meant to be

Deep in my heart

I'm having to learn to pay the price
They're turning me upside down
Waiting for possibilities,

Don't see too many around

Made in heaven made in heaven
It's for all to see
Made in heaven made in heaven
That's what everybody says

Everybody says to me
It was really meant to be

Oh can't you see
Yeah, everybody, everybody says

Yes, it was meant to be
Yeah yeah

When stormy weather comes around
It was made in heaven
When sunny skies break through behind the clouds
I wish it could last forever, yeah
Wish it could last forever, forever

Made in heaven
I'm playing my role in history,

Looking to find my goal
Taking in all this misery

But giving it all my soul

Made in heaven, made in heaven
It was all meant to be
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what everybody says

Wait and see
It was really meant to be

So plain to see, yeah
Everybody, everybody, everybody tells me so
Yes it was plain to see

Yes it was meant to be
Written in the stars
Written in the stars
Written in the stars

 
 

LET ME LIVE:

Oooh, take a piece of my heart
Oooh, take a piece of my soul
Let me live, oh yeah

Why don't you take another
little piece of my heart
Why don't you take it and break it
And tear it all apart
All I do is give
All you do is take
Baby why don't you give me a brand new start

So let me live (so let me live)
Let me live (leave me alone)
Let me live, oh baby, and make a brand new start

Why don't you take another
little piece of my soul
Why don't you shape it and shake it
'Til you're really in control
All you do is take
And all I do is give
All that I'm asking
Is a chance to live

(So let me live) so let me live
(Leave me alone) let me live, let me live
(Why don't you let me make) a brand new start

Yeah
And it's a (long hard struggle) yeah
But you can always depend on me
And if you're (ever in trouble) - hey
You know where I will be

Why don't you take another
little piece of my life
Why don't you twist it and turn it
And cut it like a knife
All you do is live
All I do is die
Why can't we just be friends
Stop living a lie

So let me live (so let me live)
Let me live (leave me alone)
Please let me live
(Why don't you live a little)
Oh yeah baby (Why don't you give a little love)

Let me live
Please let me live
Oh yeah baby, let me live
And make a brand new start

Let me live (let me live)
Oooh yeah (let me live)
Come on (let me live)
In your heart

(Take another piece, take another piece)
(Take another piece, take another piece)
Please let me live
(Take another piece, take another piece)
(Take another piece, take another piece)
Why don't you take another take
another piece of my piece of my heart
Oh yeah baby
Make a brand new start baby baby baby
All you do is take (let me live)
(Let me live)
Oh yeah
Let me live

 
 

MOTHER LOVE:

I don't want to sleep with you
I don't need the passion too
I don't want a stormy affair
To make me feel my life is heading

somewhere
All I want is the comfort and care
Just to know that my woman gives me sweet

Mother love

I've walked too long in this lonely lane
I've had enough of this same old game
I'm a man of the world and they say that I'm strong
But my heart is heavy

And my hope is gone

Out in the city, in the cold world outside
I don't want pity

Just a safe place to hide
Mama please, let me back inside

I don't want to make no waves
But you can give me all the love that I crave
I can't take it if you see me cry
I long for peace before I die

All I want is to know that you're there
You're gonna give me all your sweet mother love

Mother love

My body's aching, but I can't sleep
My dreams are all the company I keep
Got such a feeling as the sun goes down
I'm coming home to my sweet mother love
Mother love

 
 

MY LIFE HAS BEEN SAVED:

This is where we are today
People going separate ways
This is the way things are now

In disarray

I read it in the papers
There's death on every page
Oh Lord, I thank the Lord above

My life has been saved

Here we go
Telling lies
Here we go...

We're right back were we started from
People going separate ways
This is the way things are now

In disarray - hey

I read it in the papers
There's death on every page oh
Oh Lord, I thank You from above

My life has been saved

My life
My life has been saved
My life
My life
My life has been saved

 
 

I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU:

I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you
Every single day
All right
Hey hey

I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you

Every single day of my life

You are the one for me
I am the man for you
You were made for me

You're my ecstasy
If I was given every opportunity

I'd kill for your love

So take a chance with me

Let me romance with you
I'm caught in a dream

And my dreams come true
It's so hard to believe

This is happening to me
An amazing feeling

Coming through

I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you honey

Every single day of my life

I wanna love you
I love every little thing about you
I wanna love you, love you, love you
Born - to love you

Born - to love you yes
Born - I was born to love you
Born - to love you

Born - to love you
Every single day - of my life
I was born to take care of you

Every single day, day, day of my life

An amazing feeling coming through
I was born to love you

With every single beat of my heart
Yeah I was born to take care of you

Every single day of my life
Yes, I was born to love you
Every single day
Of my life

 

HEAVEN FOR EVERYONE:

This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven for everyone

In these days of cool reflection (reflection)
You come to me and everything seems alright
In these days of cold affections
You sit by me and everything's fine
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed
This world could be fun
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be free
This world could be one

In this world of cool deception
Just your smile can smooth my ride
These troubled days of cruel rejection
You come to me, soothe my troubled mind
Yeah this could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed
This world could be fun
This should be love for everyone (yeah)
This world should be free
This world could be one
We should bring love

to our daughters and sons
Love, love, love, love
This could be heaven for everyone

You know that
(this could be heaven for everyone)
Yes!
(this could be heaven for everyone)

This could be heaven for everyone

Listen
What people do to other souls
They take their lives, destroy their goals
Their basic pride and dignity
Is stripped and torn and shown no pity
When this should be heaven for everyone

 
 

TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOU:

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
for much too long

Oh, I feel like no-one
ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
and the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
because you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down, oooh
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go
I'm bound to lose, oh yeah

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you every time

Yeah too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end
In the end

 
 

YOU DON'T FOOL ME:

You don't fool me
You don't fool me
You don't fool me
You don't fool me
You don't fool me...

Da da da da dah
Da da da dah
Da da dah

You don't fool me - those pretty eyes
That sexy smile - you don't fool me
You don't rule me - you're no surprise
You're telling lies - hey, you don't fool me
Mmm, mama said be careful
of that girl
Mama said you know that she's no good
Mama said be cool,
don't you be no fool
Yup bup ba ba ba ba da da da dah!

You don't fool me
You don't fool me
You don't fool me
She'll take you
You don't fool me, she'll take you
You don't fool me, and break you
Sooner or later you'll be playing by her rules

Baby you don't fool me, yeah

You don't fool me, you don't have to say
"don't mind"
You don't have to teach me things I know
Sooner or later you'll be playing by her rules
Oh (fool you) oh (rule you)
She'll take you (take you)
And break you (break you)
Yeah

Mama said be cool
Mama said she'd
take you for a fool
She'll take you, and break you
Ba ba ba ba bap bap ba baah
La la la la la lah
You don't fool me
You don't fool me...

 
 

A WINTER'S TALE:

It's Winter-fall
Red skies are gleaming, oh
Sea-gulls are flying over
Swans are floating by
Smoking chimney-tops
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming?

The nights draw in
There's a silky moon up in the sky, yeah
Children are fantasizing
Grown-ups are standing by
What a super feeling
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming?
Wo wo wo wo

(dreaming) So quiet and peaceful
(dreaming) Tranquil and blissful
(dreaming) There's a kind of magic in the air
(dreaming) What a truly magnificient view
(dreaming) A breathtaking scene
With the dreams of the world
in the palm of your hand

(dreaming) A cosy
fireside chat
(dreaming) A little this, a little that
(dreaming) Sound of merry laughter
skipping by
(dreaming) Gentle rain beating on my face
(dreaming) What an extraordinary place!
And the dream of the child is the hope
of the hope of the man

It's all so beautiful
Like a landscape painting in the sky, yeah
Mountains are zooming higher, mmm
Little girls scream and cry
My world is spinning and spinning and spinning
It's unbelievable
Sends me reeling
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming
Oooh it's bliss
