The Show Must Go On [Live With Queen]

[BiteUrLip]

Writers: Queen


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?



Show must go on.

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.



Show must go on.

Show must go on.

Inside my heart is breaking.

My make-up may be flaking,

But my smile still stays on.



My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies.

Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die.

I can fly, my friends.



Show must go on.

Show must go on.

I'll face it with a grin.

I'm never giving in—

Oh—with the show.



I'll top the bill,

I'll overkill.

I have to find the will to carry on with the show.

On with the show.



Show must go on.

A one kind of a dream come true: The best Queen song performed brilliantly by Elton!

"The Show Must Go On" Live with Queen:

"The Show Must Go On" (studio version) originally appeared on Queen's 1991 INNUENDO album and was performed by Elton with Queen in honour of Freddie Mercury at the AIDS benefit concert shortly after Freddie passed away.  The song found its way onto the B-side (England) of Elton & Kiki Dee's "True Love" which was a single from Elton's DUETS album in 1993. Elton added the song to his concert setlist for the world tour in support of THE ONE album in 1992 and 1993.  Elton did an excellent job with this song holding centre-stage rather than being parked behind his piano.  

Rating:  5 stars
