Why do the lyrics say "it ain't no place for you and me" rather than "it ain't no place for rock and roll" ? Why has this never been corrected?
Freddie forgot the lyrics... So what? :-))
Shoot for the moon... even if you fail you will land among the stars!
There are a few like that...

'39, for exaple has different lyrics than what Brian sang on the album, but they are the same as what Freddie sang live.

I believe there are a few more, but can't think of them off the top of my head.
You just can't beat the reasonably priced mosquito repellant OFF.
"you and me" doesn't even rhyme with "ain't got no soul though". Weird...
Seaside has lyrics printed differently than what Freddie actually sings. At least on the old vinyl gatefold I have.
"Take care of those you call your own"
I recall that on the Hollywood Records issue of "Queen", the lyrics to Doing Alright were TOTALLY misprinted in parts....
I'll take you to the Seven Seas of Rhye
Queen's Made In heaven on black vinyl has also some misprinted lyrics on the innersleeve.
Read printed lyrics in 'Metropolis' soundtrack for 'Love Kills' and you'll see how many words Freddie 'forgot'!

I am a fan indeed. I'm not shocked by wrong printed lyrics at all. It's just something i saw when i was reading the lyrics..
Speaking of that.... What does they actually say in Dead On Time ?????? I can't hear they are singing dead on time :S ????
Maybe Freddie just forgot the lyrics. I mean on the live at the bowl dvd he says "Action, give me" instead of "Action, this day" and calls the song action. At Live at Buenos Aires 2-28 1981 he totally butchered the lyrics to "Need your Loving Tonight" (well could Freddie really butcher anything, he could sing the phone book set to music and would be great)

Does "Fooling Arround" say anything?

They calls Bohemian Rhapsody as Bo Rhap, but not because they forgot full title actually...

"Action, give me" line - it's something called live improvisation...
