Dragon Attack- terrific lyrics. What does it mean? Who knows? [/QUOTE]
Chasing the Dragon is slang for smoking opium. Monkey on the back is slang for addiction. "Got a dragon on my back" can only mean one thing. Now review the lyrics. Puts it in a whole new perspective, doesn't it?
No. Like most people I knew that already.

Amazon didn't.

Completely agree. The lyrics on the AKOM album are extremely disappointing. For instance Don't Lose Your Head had dreadful lyrics. I don't know if I agree about Friends Will Be Friends BTW (one of my favourite songs off the album as it happens), however the album certainly had ordinary lyrics, compared to most of Queen's other albums. Which is a massive reason why IMO it is one of Queen's weakest albums (along with The Works.)

You're absolutely right, and I think that is fascinating. :D It actually does explain a hell of a lot, and if anything, I think it enhances the song. Wow, a drug song. :D Queen wouldn't have had that many.
GF, thanks for the links. While (as you noted), it isn't particularly appealing to me, it is certainly very interesting.
