Alright

I've paid my dues

Time after time

I've done my sentence

But committed no crime

And bad mistakes

I've made a few

I've had my share of sand

Kicked in my face

But I've come through

And my curtain calls

You've bought me fame and fortune

And everything that goes with it

I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses no pleasure cruise

I consider it a challenge before the whole human race

And I ain't gonna lose

And I need to go on and on and on and on





We are the champions - my friend

And we'll keep on fighting till the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions of the world





We are the champions - my friend

And we'll keep on fighting till the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions

Well you're just 17 and all you want to do is disappear

You know what I mean there's a lot of space between your ears

The way that you touch don't feel no nothin'

Hey hey hey hey it was the D.N.A.

Do you know do you know do you know just how I feel?

Do you know do you know do you know just how I feel?





Sheer heart attack

Turn on the TV let it drip right down in your eyes

Hey hey hey hey it was the D.N.A.

Sheer heart attack

Sheer heart attack

Memories, my memories

How long can you stay

To haunt my days





She came without a farthing

A babe without a name

So much ado 'bout nothing

Is what she's try to say

So much ado my lover

So many games we played

Through ev'ry fleeted summer

Through ev'ry precious day





All dead all dead

All the dreams we had

And I wonder why I still live on

All dead all dead

And alone I'm spared

My sweeter half instead

All dead and gone all dead





All dead all dead

At the rainbow's end

And still I hear her own sweet song

All dead all dead

Take me back again

You know my little friend's

All dead and gone





Her ways are always with me

I wander all the while

But please you must forgive me

I am old but still a child





All dead all dead

But I should not grieve

In time it comes to ev'ryone

All dead all dead

But in hope I breathe

Of course I don't believe

You're dead and gone

All dead and gone

Sammy was low

Just watching the show

Over and over again

Knew it was time

He'd made up his mind

To leave his dead life behind

His boss said to him

'Boy you'd better begin

To get those crazy notions right out of your head

Sammy who do you think that you are?

You should've been sweeping up the Emerald bar'





Spread your wings and fly away

Fly away far away

Spread your little wings and fly away

Fly away far away

Pull yourself together

'Cos you know you should do better

That's because you're a free man





He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room

Keeping his thoughts to himself he'd be leaving soon

Wishing he was miles and miles away

Nothing in this world nothing would make him stay





Since he was small

Had no luck at all

Nothing came easy to him

Now it was time

He'd made up his mind

'This could be my last chance'





His boss said to him 'now listen boy

You're always dreaming

You've got no real ambition you won't get very far

Sammy boy don't you know who you are?

Why can't you be happy at the Emerald bar?'





So honey

Spread your wings and fly away

Fly away far away

Spread your little wings and fly away

Fly away far away

Pull yourself together

'Cos you know you should do better

That's because you're a free man

Come on honey

Hey you boy hey you hey you boy

Think that you know what you're doing?

You think you're gonna set things to rights

You're just another picture on a teenage wall

You're just another sucker ready for a fall

You gonna fight from the inside

Attack from the rear

Fight from the inside

You can't win with your hands tied

Fight from the inside

Fight from the inside

Right down the line





Hey you boy hey you hey you boy

Think that you know what you're doing?

You think that out in the streets is all true

You're just another money spinner tool

You're just another fool

You gotta fight from the inside

Attack from the rear

Fight from the inside

You can't win with your hands tied

Fight from the inside

Fight from the inside

Right down the line

Get down make love

I was nothin' but a city boy

My trumpet was my only toy

I've been blowin' my horn

Since I knew I was born

But there ain't nobody wants to know





I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk

Rollin' down the road

I may get hungry

But I sure don't want to go home





So round the corner comes a limousine

And the biggest grin I ever seen

Here sonny won't you sign

Right along the dotted line

What you sayin' are you playin'

Sure you don't mean me?





I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk

Rollin' down the road

I may get hungry

But I sure don't want to go home





(Now I tell you what happened...)





They took me to a room without a table

They said 'blow your trumpet into here'

I played around as well as I was able

And soon we had the record of the year





I was a legend all through the land

I was blowin' to a million fans

Nothin' was a missin'

All the people want to listen

You'd have thought I was a happy man





And I was sleepin' like a princess

Never touch the road

I don't get hungry

And I sure don't want to go home

(Have to have some fun...)





Now they tell me that I ain't so fashionable

An' I owe the man a million bucks a year

So I told 'em where to stick the fancy label

It's just me and the road from here





I'm back to playin' and layin'

I'm back on the game





I'm sleepin' on the sidewalk

Rollin' down the road

I sure get hungry and

I sure do wanna go home

(Yeah)

I make it half past six you come at seven

Always try to keep me hanging round

You little spoilt thing girl you kept me waiting

Never contemplating my point of view

This comes as no surprise

I'm a fool for I believed your lies

But now I've seen through your disguise

Who needs well I don't need who needs you?





Oh I believed you

Went on my knees to you

How I trusted you

But you turned me down

But it's dog eat dog in this rat race

And it leaves you bleeding lying flat on your face

Reaching out reaching out for a helping hand

Where is that helping hand?





I like it I like it

Well I don't need you





How I was pushed around

Don't let it get you down

You walked all over me

But don't you ever give in

Taking one step forward slipping two steps back

There's an empty feeling that you can't forget

Reaching out for a helping hand





When I met you you were always charming

Couldn't sleep at night 'till you were mine

You were oh so so sophisticated

Never interested in what I'd say

I had to swallow my pride

So naive you took me for a ride

But now I'm the one to decide

Who needs well I don't need who needs you?

You say you love me

And I hardly know your name

And if I say I love you in the candlelight

There's no one but myself to blame

But there's something inside

That's turning my mind away

Oh how I could love you

If I could let you stay





It's late - but I'm bleeding deep inside

It's late - is it just my sickly pride?

Too late - even now the feeling seems to steal away

So late - though I'm crying I can't help but hear you say

It's late it's late it's late

But not too late





The way you love me

Is the sweetest love around

But after all this time

The more I'm trying

The more I seem to let you down

Now you tell me you're leaving

And I just can't believe it's true

Oh you know that I can love you

Though I know I can't be true

Oh you made me love you

Don't tell me that we're through





It's late - but it's driving me so mad

It's late - yes I know but don't try to tell me that it's

Too late - save our love you can't turn out the lights

So late - I've been wrong but I'll learn to be right

It's late it's late it's late

But not too late





- I've been so long

- You've been so long

- We've been so long tryin' to work it out

- I ain't got long

- You ain't got long

- We gotta know what this life is all about





Too late much too late

You're staring at me

With suspicion in your eye

You say what game are you playing?

What's this that you're saying?

I know that I can't reply

If I take you tonight

Is it making my life a lie?

Oh you make me wonder

Did I live my life alright?





It's late - but it's time to set me free

It's late - yes I know but there's no way it has to be

Too late - so let the fire take our bodies this night

So late - so let the waters take our guilt in the tide

It's late it's late it's late it's late

It's late it's late

It's all too late

Another party's over

And I'm left cold sober

My baby left me for somebody new

I don't wanna talk about it

Want to forget about it

Wanna be intoxicated with that special brew

So come and get me

Let me

Get in that sinking feeling

That says my heart is on an all time low - So

Don't expect me

To behave perfectly

And wear that sunny smile

My guess is I'm in for a cloudy and overcast

Don't try and stop me

'Cos I'm heading for that stormy weather soon





I'm causing a mild

With this new occupation

I'm permanently glued

To this extraordinary mood so now move over

Let me take over

With my melancholy blues





I'm causing a mild sensation

With this new occupation

I'm in the news

I'm just getting used to my new exposure

So come into my enclosure

And meet my

Melancholy blues
