The Show Must Go On

I was inspired by this song when I heard it at the Queen concert for the first time. It was performed and recorded just six weeks before Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, died of complications from AIDS. The song talks about how no matter what, we have to keep going, which was obviously adressed at the fact that Queen would be losing its front man soon and would try to carry on. I think this is a good life lesson to. in everyones' life there are going to be times when you don't feel like living or like your troubles are too much to bare but you have to keep fighting. Just like Freddie did, singing with a lung disease six weeks before his death. RIP Freddie.



Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score...
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero - another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore?

The Show must go on!
The Show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile, still, stays on!

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache - another failed romance.
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are living for?

I guess I'm learning
I must be warmer now..
I'll soon be turning round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking,
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!

The Show must go on!
The Show must go on! Yeah!
Ooh! Inside my heart is breaking!
My make-up may be flaking!
But my smile, still, stays on!
Yeah! oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,
I can fly, my friends!

The Show must go on! Yeah!
The Show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin!
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!

I'll top the bill!
I'll overkill!
I have to find the will to carry on!
On with the,
On with the show!

The Show must go on.
