Great track, poor lyrics, wouldn't have been played on the radio.

The intro is great. In fact, a lot of Roger's songs have great intros. The best has got to be The Whisperers.
John: "It's the one thing I wish I could do - sing."

I agree with Pim. Great song, but the lyrics, especially the line "the way you boil your eggs, goes straight to my legs" is particularly cringeworthy....
"Normally i can't dance to save my life. But as soon as I step in dog shit, I can moonwalk better than Michael Jackson."

Great music, poor lyrics - it's as if Roger had got a twelve year old with English as a foreign language to write them for him!
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

I think Happiness is just about the best Queen solo outing - however I've never been fond of Touch the Sky. Keys to the kingdom would have made a better single and what exactly Rog was thinking of when he decided on Nazis as single I'll never know.

My favorite track off of that CD is 'Freedom Train', followed by 'You Had To Be there'. Touch the Sky didn't do it for me...I agree, not one of Roger's best lyrical attempts...
I Want It All And I Want It Now!!

fair points, but compare it todays lyrics???? its my fav from that album. its just a simple song, with simple lyrics, end of!

Yeah nothing wrong with the lyrics really - bit throwaway, bit quirky. Really is a good album though; revelations, foreign sands, old friends, freedom train, you had to be there....

One of my favorite albums period.

The whole album is really top notch in my book, much better to me than The Cross' albums.

Touch The Sky is a great track for the music alone.  A good effort from Roger.
If fate had played another card maybe these tracks would have been available to Queen to enhance, just like Brian May's Driven By You.

'Dear Mr Murdoch' is a savage track, one of the best on the album IMO. 'Nazis' is ok, but i agree, shit choice for a single. :/
