There are loads of really terrific lyrics, especially from Innuendo, The Prophet's Song, My Fairy King, MOTHQ, but I have to say my favourite is 'I love you for your mind baby, give me your body' from Tear It Up.
I know the lyrics are written by Brian, but they are just so cheeky Freddie... if you know what I mean.

Sooooooo Freddie. Healthy or... otherwise... still the same attitude.

"I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent
Save me Save me Save me
I can't face this life alone"
Why? I don't know. It touches me.

That's one of my choices. Powerful lyrics and vocals there.

"What is left of your dream? Just the words on your stone
A man who learned how to teach, then forgot how to learn, Oh yeah!"
I find this quite a powerful thought evoking statement. Always liked it.

From Under Pressure, People On the Streets
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Suggests that Freddie was aware of poor peope on the streets.

Save Me
I hang my head and advertise
A soul for sale or rent
Fantastic

Oh yeah! I love that one as well. Very intense.
And I love the way Freddie sings it. So dramatic and powerful!

Since my divorce... the next line of Save Me really does something to me:
"I still believe the lie, I love you till I die"

Another one which is for me amazingly powerful:
"The moment that you stepped into the room you took my breath away...."
Such a great line, and sung with POWER, shivers... every time again...

I like this one from The Hero:
So you feel it's the end of the story
Find it all pretty satisfactory
Well I tell you my friend
This might seem like the end
But the continuation
Is yours for the making
(To me it means do not be self-satisfied.)

Only one? Damn, there go my many choices... but I'll probably have to choose "You call me sweet like I'm some kind of cheese" from 'Sweet Lady' - classic Queen humour but it's also laced with true bitchiness underneath, considering the heavy tone of the song (musically and lyrically). Funny and oddly philosophical beside the other lyrics.
