Song lyrics
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
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
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
On with the show

The show must go on, go on, go on, go on, ...

Brian wrote this one for Freddie when he knew that Freddie was going to die. Freddie knew it too. It was Queen's last single. Fitting. Such a powerful song, Freddie is incredible, he sung with such emotion and strength, even in the face of death. Noone now can compare. How many people can carry on when they have only weeks, or days, left?

I didn't know that... God, now the song is even more awesome in my eyes. It's that type of song that's like, hey, this isn't the end.

This is another one of my theme songs.
Also, this another song I listen to before theatre performances. It's very fitting, and it really helps with focusing.

Their last song was Mother Love, and he's so weak in the end that Brian has to sing for him.

I haven't heard this song quite yet, I was looking at the lyrics and now I'm going after the mp3.

Someone told me to look this up for a friend who's been really down in the dumps lately, and I can see why. The lyrics are amazing. I can't wait to hear the song.

The lyrics really shine through this song. Brian May wrote it about how Freddie Mercury wanted to keep making music although he was getting very sick. Beautiful song ♥

Oh my God, this song is just so beautifull!
Everytime I listen to it I start thinking about Freddie Mercury, and when I see the lyrics I almost start crying. The song is so sad
You can really feel Freddie's spirit when you listen to it, and how he wanted the others to continue with the music. This song is Freddie.

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends

Shit. Where do I start with this song?
I LOVE it so much. It makes me cry every time I hear it. The power and emotion put into this song is just unbelievable. To see Queen live would have been fucking amazing.
