Great lyrics though.
"It didn't matter if we won - if we lost,
Yes we were vicious. yes we could kill"
and
"We went to Bali, saw God and Dali" lol (all thanks to John)
Remind me of Sinatra's My Way.

The lyrics do have that playful and self aware quality that's so central to Queen's music. The same certainly can't be said for Show Must Go On, Days of Our Lives, or Mother Love, each of which serve as farewell tracks in certain capacities, much like Was It All Worth It was almost certainly intended as one.

The Miracle and The Works are summer records where as Innuendo and Made in Heaven are winter records because of the production. Strange but true!

You're not the only one with that opinion, but I disagree. Not even my favorite Roger-sung b-side or my favorite Miracle b-side! And then there's SWAFIB, I Go Crazy, Soul Brother, Lost Opportunity.....
But again, to each their own.....;)

You meant "The same certainly can be said for...", right? If there're any lyrics that sound so much Queen, it's Show Must Go on ^^

I did mean can't - Show Must Go On's lyrics certainly are excellent, but they're pretty serious stuff, I would have thought.

Fat Bottomed Queen
What baloney! All of MIH and Innuendo is fantastc. all of it. not 1 bad song out of the 2 of them IMO. I used to despice Headlong but now i like it.

Not a good idea to despice Headlong, without its garam masala it leaves one wanting.

Invisible Woman
Was It All Worth It is great and i love this song but in my opinion the last great Queen's song is Innuendo.
Sebastian
IMO, it's either 'A Winter's Tale' or 'Mother Love'. They're not as anthemic as 'Was It All Worth It' or 'The Show Must Go On' but they're really beautiful.
Metropolis
Wow. It's been a long time this thread was replied to.
I loved Was It All Worth It. I've heard that it was meant to be Freddie's farewell since he didn't expect to be able to live long enough to finish another album, but of course, he was able to finish Innuendo, and The Show Must Go On became his farewell song instead.

Was It All Worth It sounds like sophisticated English... somehow. It’s a great track, but not my favorite. I use to really love it so much more in the 90’s.
Toozeup
Innuendo and A Winter's Tale are even better imo
Metropolis
The Show Must Go On is more like an anthem, like We Are The Champions, stating Freddie's determination to keep going and never give up
Mother Love is Freddie's final vocals, and it has a real symbiotic meaning, and listening to it I always feel like Freddie is gone already, whereas in the other ones he's still fighting
These Are The Days Of Our Lives is nostalgic and recalling the good old days, having a very wistful but loving melody
Was It All Worth It is Freddie validating everything he had done in his life, saying that everything he did was indeed worth it
So yeah, that's my opinion on the "farewell songs". Strictly my opinion.
