Freddie: It's a number called 'Liar'

I have sinned, Dear Father
Father, I have sinned
Try and help me Father
Won't you let me in?

Liar! Ohh nobody believes me
Liar! Why don't you leave me?

Sire, I have stolen
Stolen many times
Raised my voice in anger
When I know I never should

Liar! Oh everybody deceives me
Liar! Why don't you leave me alone

Liar! I have sailed the seas
Liar! from Mars to Mercury
Liar! I have drunk the wine
Liar! time after time
Liar! You're lying to me
Liar, yes, you're lying to me

Father, please forgive me
You know you'll never leave me
Please will you direct me
In the right way
In the right way
The right, oh right-ah-way

Liar, Liar, Liar
Liar!

Liar! that's what they call me
Liar! every day and every night
Liar! all the time
Liar! oh, woh-woh-woh
They keep calling me "liar"
They know I'm a liar
Now that's the way to go-oh-oh

(guitar solo)

Listen!
Now you're gonna listen
Yeah
Mama, I'm gonna be your slave --all day long
Mama, I'm gonna try behave--all day long
Mama, I'm gonna be your slave--all day long
Mama, I'm gonna be your slave--all day long
I'm gonna love you till your dying day--all day long
I'm gonna kneel down by your side and pray--all day long
I'm gonna love you till your dying day--all day long

(additional guitar solo)

All day long (all day long)
All day long (all day long)
All day long (all day long)
All day long (all day long)
I'm gonna pray (all day long)
I'm gonna kneel down (all day long)
I'm gonna kneel down by your side
I'm gonna pray
I'm gonna pray

All day long, all day long, all day long

Liar, liar, they never ever let you win
Liar, liar, everything you do is sin
Liar, nobody believes you
Liar, they bring you down before you begin
Now let me tell you this
So now you know you could be dead before they let you

(Brian: Great, thanks a lot, thanks a lot for making it seem like coming home to the Rainbow this time, it's been really great)

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.
