MERCURY MAGIC (KILLIP copyright 1999) Also available on the album "Wild Sky"
Was it a kind of magic, (*1)
or just not what it seemed,
was I at the opera, did I see that, (*2)
or was it a drug that I dreamed (*3)
Enter the great pretender, (*4)
in his finest part where he shows his heart
It's Freddie, Freddie Mercury
Ask Barcelona, London, New York (*5)
in their hospital beds too weak to walk
they know the name of the game
but it's too late to talk
when it's all said and done
the battle cry must be the war is won
for Freddie, Freddie Mercury (*6)
In the corner of the room,
the video jumps with the jive,
and the man in the dress with the moustache (*7)
comes alive, comes alive
when it's all said and done
the battle cry must be the war is won
for Freddie, Freddie Mercury
(*1) "A Kind Of Magic" featured in the film "The Highlander", pure Pop but just the best.
(*2) Freddie's fantastic performance at the opening of the Barcelona Olympics
(*3) "I'm Going Slightly Mad" video clip
(*4) Freddie's fantastic version of "The Great pretender" I just love this song.
(*5) Barcelona (the Olympic opening), London, New York..
(*6) The song is essentially about Freddie's end battle...
(*7) "I Want To Break Free" video clip
