[Brian: To finish up with, this is something from the new album, 'Sheer Heart Attack', written by young Freddie over there, it's called 'In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited', thank you
Goodnight ...]

It's so easy, but I can't do it
It's so risky, but I gotta chance it
So funny; there's nothing to laugh about
My money: that's all you wanna talk about
I can see what you want me to be
But that's not true

It's in the lap of the Gods
Whoah, oh, la, la, la, oh
Be what you want me to be
That's not true ...

There's no beginning, there's no ending
There's no meaning in my pretending
But believe me, life goes on and on and on
Forgive me, when I ask you where do I belong
I can see what you want me to be
That's not true but I'm no fool

It's in the lap of the Gods
Whoa-Oh, La, La, La; oh
Wo, Wo, La, La, wah, wah, ooh
I'm no fool but that's not true

It's in the lap of the Gods
Wo, wo, la, la, la, wo
Wo, wo, la, la, wah, wah, ooh
But I'm no fool

It's in the lap of the Gods
Wo, wo, la, la, la, wo
Wo, wo, la, la, wah, wah, ooh
I'm that's no fool

It's in the lap of the Gods
Wo, wo, la, la, la, wo
Wo, wo, la, la, wah, wah, ooh
I'm no fool

It's in the lap of the Gods
Wo, wo, la, la, la, wo
Wo, wo, la, la, wah, wah, ooh

Freddie: Thank you, good night everybody
Brian: Thank you, we love you

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
