favourite line

My favorites are:
No-one could reach them.
No-one but you
-No-one but you

Let me squeeze you 'till you've dried
-Flick Of the wrist

go go go little queenie
-now I'm here

Too much love will kill you.
Just as sure as none at all.
-too much love will kill you

and this part from "mother Love"
I've walked too long in this lonely lane
I've had enough of this same old game
I'm a man of the world and the say that I'm strong
But me heart is heavy, and my hope is gone

Out in the city, in the cold world outside
I don't want pity, just a safe place to hide
Mama please, let me back inside
-Mother Love

This kettle is boiling over. I think I'm a banana tree.
-I'm going slightly mad

still think Nevermore is the finest bit of FM lyricism ever

"take good care of those you call your own"

sometimes I put that quote in letters to friends, it often brings nice comments.

Definitely! I agree, as you can see from my overdone list.

Teo Torriatte is very roughly the same as the English chorus preceding the Japanese chorus. Basically what they're saying in Japanese is :

Let us cling together as the years go by
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned

It's really just the translation of the English chorus, but a very rough translation.

Really it's more like this:

Teo Torriatte konomama iko
Let us cling together as the years go by

Teo: hand/hands
Torriatte: hold
konomama: as it is
iko: go

Aisuruhito yo
Oh my love, my love

Aisuruhito: to a loved one
yo: dear

Shizukana yoi ni
In the quiet of the night

Shizukana: silent
yoi: night/dusk
ni: in/at

Hikario tomoshi
Let our candle always burn

Hikario: light/lamp
tomoshi: turn on/conected with fire

Itoshiki oshieo idaki
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned

Itoshiki: lovely
oshieo: a word from God
idaki: keep/have

So it's very vaguely the same.

"I wouldn't mind the Postman if the neighbours didn't know, or the gas man, electric man, or the man who fixed the car, I'd have to let it go" - I Go Crazy

Without a doubt:

"Write your letters in the sand
Until the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew"

I like the way Brian squeezed so much out of the syllable "and" in that one. Not one line, as such, but definitely my favorite couplet (and then some) from a Queen song. :D

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies.. (The Show Must Go On)

"We went to Bali, saw God and Dali"

Was it All Worth it actually has a couple of great lines.

don't send me to the path of nevermore
for my life still ahead pity me
do you feel like suicide?
Now you can kiss my ass, goodbye! (the way Freddie says it...)
I don't wanna die, sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
the ostler stands with hands on his knee (I learnt the word ostler there and I like the image of it and it makes me think about Dadd's painting)
my soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
in the dark I'm aching to be free
to tell the king of rhy he's lost his throne
aaah ahhh (lap of the gods)
to avoid complications she never kept the same adress
just like Marie-Antoinette (KQ is one of the first song of Queen I listened to, and my English was quite defficient at the time, but I loved Freddie's voice and especially when he said this line, which I understood!)

this is not, of course, a complete list
I think it's impossible for me to choose just ONE favourite line.

Does anyone actually know what the Japanese in Teo Torriate means? Share...

I believe there is some explanation somewhere on this site

Also: "You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it"

Nice how Fred squeezes that into the song.
