Recorded live from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert, "A Concert For Life," at Wembley Stadium, London in April 1992 except "Dear Friends" from the Queen album SHEER HEART ATTACK. Contains a brief note from George Michael.

Proceeds from this disc will be donated to the Mercury Phoenix Trust, an international AIDS foundation, in the memory of Freddie Mercury (the lead singer for Queen).



A live benefit EP from the Freddy Mercury tribute concert, it shows both Queen and George Michael in fine shape, although Michael can't match the grand dramatic gestures of Mercury. Michael's fans will enjoy the EP while Queen fans will find more reasons to mourn Mercury's passing.

"...Michael recreates the operatic flounce of the late Queen singer..."

Somebody to love

Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord, what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on
My own-
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord-somebody-somebody
Can anybody find me-somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Everyday-I try and I try and I try-
But everybody wants to put me down,
They say I`m goin` crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah-yeah yeah yeah

Oh, Lord
Somebody-somebody
Can anybody find me to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I`m ok,I`m alright
Ain`t gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I`m gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?


Killer

So you want to be free
To live your life the way you wanna be
Will you give if we cry
Will we live or will we die

Tainted hearts heal with time
Shoot bad love so we can
Stop the bleeding

Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that
Wants to live?
Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that
Wants to give?
Solitary brother,is there still a part of you that
Wants to live?
Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that
Wants to give?

If we try to live our lives
The way we wanna be

Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that
Wants to live?
Solitary sister,is there still a part of you that
Wants to give?
Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that
Wants to live?
Salitary sister, is there still a part of you that
Wants to give?

Racism in future kings can only lead to no good
And besides, all our sons and daughters already
Know how that feels


Papa was a rolling stone

Papa Was A Rollin` Stone

It was the third of September
That day I`ll always remember, yes I will
`Cause that was the day that my daddy died

Never had a chance to see him, no
Never heard nothin` but bad things about him
Mama, I`m depending on you to tell me the truth
Mama just hung her head and said

Chorus
"Papa was a rollin` stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone" (repeat)

Hey, Mama, is it true what they say
That Papa never worked a day in his life
Some bad talk going around sayin`
Papa had there outside children
And another wife
That ain`t right

Heard some talk about Papa and his storefront
Preachin`
Talkin` about saving souls and all the time
Leaching
And dealing in dirt
Stealin` in the name of the Lord

But Mama she just said

Chorus

Say, I heard my papa was a jack of all trades
Is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow or steal just
To pay his bills.
Hey, Mama, folks say Papa was never much on thinkin`
Spent most of his time chansin` women and drinkin`
But Mother, I`m depending on you to tell me the
Truth

But my mama she just said

Chorus(2x)


These are the days of our lives

Sometimes I get the feelin`
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know?
The days were endless, we were crazy - we were
Young
The sun was always shinin` - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don`t know
The rest of my life`s been - just a show.

Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those daays are all gone now but one thing is true-
When I look and I find, I still love you.

You can`t turn back the clock, you can`t turn
Back the tide
Ain`t that a shaame? (Ain`t that a shame?)
I`d like to go back one time on a roller coaster
Ride
When life was just a game
No use sitting and thinkin` on what you did
When you can lay back and anjoy it through your
Kids
Sometimes it seems like lately I just don`t know
Better sit back and go - -with the flow

`Cause these are the days of our lives
They`ve flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find - no change

Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is trrue-
When I look and I find, I still love you

I still llove you
I love you
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you


Calling you

Calling You

A desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Someplace better than where you`ve been
A coffe machine that needs some fixin`
In a little cafe just around the bend

Chorus:
I am calling you
Can`t you hear me?
I am calling you

A hot dry wind blows ight through me
The baby`s crying and I can`t sleep
But we both know that a change is coming
Come in closer, sweet release

Chorus

Desert road from Vegas to nowhere


Dear friends

Dear Friends

So dear friends your love has gone
Only tears to dwell upon
I dare not say as the wind must blow
So a love is lost, a love is won
Go to sleep and dream again
Soon your hopes will rise aand then
From all this gloom life can start anew
And there`llbe no crying soon
