I have sinned dear father, father I have sinned
Shadow boxing with yourself just seems to get you no where!
He's a fairy feller...............
The fairy folk have gathered round the new moonshine,
To see the feller crack a nut at night's noon time,
To swing his axe he swears,
As he climbs, he dares, to deliver..........
The Master-stroke.
Classic Fred.
There must be more to life than this.
Another party's over
And i'm left cold sober
My baby left me for somebody new
I dont wanna talk about it
want to forget about it
wanna be intoxicated with the special brew..

okay okay i know its more than one line but it's just so brilliant, i love it, i love this song and love Freddies voice on it...
"another tricky situation, i get to drowning in the blues, and i find myself thinking..well...what would you do?"
"empty spaces what are we living for" and maybe

Adventure seeker, on an empty street"
"I'm going up Buchanan Street With a box of fireworks And two bottles of Tizer"
Nooooooo for me it has to be...

"In the land where horse is born with eagles wings, and honey bees have lost their stings....." a true genius Freddie was to write such songs *sigh*
"You're so far back in the closet you're in bloody Narnia!"

Captain Jack Sparrow probably meant the song, not the lyric?
Goodbye April lady, It's been good to have you around - Goodbye April lady, You've done a lot for the folks in this town...
I can think of 4 that I love.

First on has to be Bohemian Rhapsody

"is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? caught in a landslide, no escape from reality."

they sound really mysterious and the words are really beautiful and mystical, which I love.

Rock it

"When I hear that rock and roll, it gets down to my soul, when it's real rock and roll, ooooh rock and roll..."

Also I love the way in which Freddie sings those opening lines which is a bonus.

the prophet's song

"Oh Oh people of earth
Listen to the warning
The seer he said "
I like this for the same reasons as Bo'Rhap

last but not least Dragon attack.

"Take me to the room where the red's all red, take me outta my head, that's what I said...."

They are really rock sounding phrases which I adore.
"Take me to the room where the reds all red take me outta my head, that's what I said"
This is the only life for me
Surround myself around my own fantasy .
Mercury is a genius living in every pore
