I agree with most of what you guys already have up (The Show Must Go On, Who Wants to Live Forever, Death on Two Legs, Bohemian Rhapsody, *You Take My Breath Away*, The Prophet's Song) but I think one is being left out...
Yes, Is This the World We Created...? This song is a short set of lyrics, but those few words convey a very powerful message, especially that last line (like with Who Wants to Live, it's the last line that is the most powerful).
Oh yeah, and Mustapha is pretty good lyrically ;)

Yes, I remember when that came out I was only 15 and that line hit me right in the gut. It still does. I especially love how Freddie varies it live everytime, sometimes breaking character and allowing his emotions to get the better of him. Gives me chills!

For sheer simplicity yet very powerful emotion, I've always loved Dear Friends. More than just another song, it's poetry set to music.
Fairy Feller's Master Stroke.
My two favorites are The Show Must Go On and White Queen. I feel there are plenty of Queen songs with great lyrics but these stand out with the combo of poetic lyrics and powerful music.
but if everyone on here types the full lyrics to their fave song in response then this thread goes on for miles over only a handful of posts
i was trying to point out that he could have cited the complexity of the lyric without retyping it for us
i hope to f**k he doesn't start a thread in the personal section entiteld "my favourite book is...." because Richard might run out of webspace

White Man has to be up there.
"Man learned how to teach, then forgot how to learn." I love that line!
Save Me, The Show Must Go On, there's so many great songs. Made in Heaven is obviously very moving as well.

Death on Two Legs
Flick of the Wrist
Freddie really did a good job on those "Grr, we're getting screwed" songs.

Death on Two Legs and The Prophet's Song are definitely my favorites.
