Cosmos Rockin' (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 4:10
What planet is this, mmmh ?
Let there be rock 'n' roll
It's a Saturday night and I'm home alone
With the music on quiet I'm flying solo
Then my feet start moving to the sound of the beat
Put the music up loud hear it in the street
Then the neighbours start banging on my front door
Throw the door wide open saying what's your point
Come on in let's rock this joint
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
To the mighty power of rock 'n' roll
We dance out of the door, dance into the street
And all the people are swaying to the musical beat
We rock down the road and down to the town
And all the people stare and smile and get down
Then the police man is saying "stop this noise"
But the beat takes over now he's one of the boys
The beat's taken over now he's one of the boys
Come on down let's rock this town
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
To the mighty power of rock 'n' roll
Let's go
Let it roll
Are you ready?
Said are you ready?
The cosmos rocks
Across seven seas through the Panama,
Now they're rockin' on beaches and they're rockin' in bars
Don't ask me how and don't ask me why
From Miami Beach down to old Bondi
There's a rock 'n' roll fever in every place
Next thing you know they'll be rockin' out in space
Come on down let's rock this place
Come on down and
Sock it to me
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
To the mighty mighty mighty power
We got the cosmos rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
We got the universe rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
To the might power of rock 'n' roll
Time to Shine (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 4:23
With the sun in your eyes and the wind in your face
To heaven you rise in a holy embrace
Your feet on the ground your head in the clouds
And you're wondering if you're never coming down
In an instant the mysteries of life will unfold
The myths and the dragons of time will explode
Here's to a real understanding of truth
For compassion and grace to be given their chance too
Raise up your mind
It's time to shine
A moment down through millennium
Unveiling the secrets of song to be sung
Waters of life flowing soft to the touch
Wisdom remembered have we forgotten oh so much
Raise up your mind
It's time to shine
Raise up your mind
Hey, it's time to shine
Let's awaken from barbarity
Into a world of serenity
Beyond the rage of foolish pride
And on to the golden shores of paradise
Raise up your mind
Hey, it's time to shine
Raise up your mind
Hey, it's time to shine
Raise up your mind
Your time to shine
It's time to shine
It's time to shine
Still Burnin' (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 4:04
I can't wake in the mornin'
I can't sleep at night
I got a pain in my memory
That just won't sit right
You might say I'm losing my mind
What a shame, shame, shame
But I don't want and I don't need
To play the cryin' game
Music lights this flame in me
I won't let it go and it won't let me be
I'm just a happy slave and oh I can't leave it
'cause I'm still, and I always will, be a believer
Still burnin' (Yeah)
Still yearnin' (And the wheel's)
Still turnin' (Let me tell you why)
We're jivin' (And the beat's)
Still drivin' (And we are all)
Divin' (Rock'n'roll never die)
I can't breathe in the city
Got dust in my lungs
I get mad in the country
Everythin' seem to go wrong
You might think I'm playin' around
But my heart is true
I got reason to believe
That sweet soul magic
Gonna tear my heart in two
Music makes the world go round
I've been flyin' on the wings of the sound
It feels so good from way up here
I'm still a believer
Headin' for the stars
(Still burnin')
(Still yearnin')
Still turnin' (Better than every guy)
(We're jivin')
(Still drivin')
Sky divin' (Rock'n'roll never die)
Don't say that you love me I can't go down that road
But don't think for a moment that my heart went cold
I keep thinkin' about what I lost
And what I might have found
I went to sleep and when I woke
Everything had turned around
Still burnin' (Yeah)
(Still yearnin')
Still turnin' (A new day dawnin')
(We're jivin')
(Still drivin')
Sky divin' (Early in the morning)
Still burnin' (Yeah)
Still yearnin' (And the wheel's)
Still turnin' (Better than every guy)
We're jivin' (And the beat's)
Still drivin' (And we're all)
Sky divin' (Rock'n'roll never die)
Small (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 4:39
I like to sit here in the sunshine
The trees in the fields are green sublime
Suspended in time
And don't it make you feel small?
I like to sit here by the fire's light
The trees in the fields lie bare to the night
The stars burn bright
And don't it make you feel small?
Everyone needs a place they can hide
Hide away find a space to be alone
Everyone needs a place they can hide
Everyone needs to find peace sublime
I like to sit here in the autumn time
The trees in the fields they rustle in the wind
The church bells gently chime
Gentle on your mind
Suspended in time
And don't it make you feel small?
Everyone needs a place they can hide
Everyone need to find peace sublime
Oh peace of mind
Everyone needs a place they can hide
Hide away find a space to be alone
Everyone needs a place they can hide
Hide away find a space to be alone
Everyone needs a place they can hide
Hide away find a space to be alone
Everyone needs a place they can hide
Everyone needs to find, peace sublime
Oh, peace of mind
Warboys (A Prayer for Peace) (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 3:18
They were born with the knowledge of the struggle to survive
They were raised, learning only ways to stay alive
Their language is the language of the bullet and the gun
If you can see them coming, baby, better run
Here come the warboys
Here come the warboys
Well they look so pretty as they march and drill
It's such, a pity that they're dressed to kill
Soldiers marching two by two
When it all comes down they know exactly what to do
Here come the... war
Warboys, warboys, children and their toys
Warboys, warboys, make lot a noise
Warboys, when the lightning exlpodes
I pray for your soul
Hup, 2, 3, 4
Well they look so fierce they're gonna tear out your heart
When they get near we're gonna see what they got
Hold on to your soul, friend of mine
I'll see you in hell, some other time
Here come the boys
Helping to kill, those who deserve to die
Tell me who decides
You and I
We have the power
We Believe (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 6:08
I believe there's no evil out there we didn't have a hand in
You believe it's a time for peace and a time for understanding
Some of us believe that we are chosen
And if God is on our side we'll win the game
And some of us believe that there's a heaven
When the trumpets sound and the judges call your name
But let's get it straight
I believe there's just once chance in this world to hear our brothers
You believe there's a better way to listen to each other
We don't get what the other guy is saying
We hear the words but we don't understand
So around the world the same old anger raging
And we all cry for shame and the same old tragedy goes down
We believe there's a better way to fight
There's a way to make our children safe at night
We believe there's a war we could be winning
But the only way to win it is to give what we need to receive
I believe we need a hero to step boldly from the shadows
You believe there must be someone on the scene that fits the bill
A man or a woman who knows how to say I'm sorry
With courage in his heart to match his creed
A leader who can build a brand new morning
And match the tide of changes
Match the intent with the deed
We believe there's a deed of obligation
To bring reconciliation
To make peace with every nation - in our time
We believe there's not a minute we should be wasting
When the darkness falls it's too late to fix the crime
It's peace that we need
Every father every mother knows the meaning
Human treasure that our leaders do forget
And the bullets fly in the face of common reason
And the pain we give is the legacy in the end we get
We believe there's a song that's worth the singing
It's a song of truth we're bringing
There's a way to share the Earth with everyone
We believe every creature has a being
Has a right to respect and feeling
To live and breathe and flourish in the sun
That's what we believe
Call Me (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 2:59
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
She lives in a luxury apartment in the heart of town
I live in the country and my house is tumbling down
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
I met her in her neighbourhood, I was just passing through
One look was all it took, yeah, one look or two
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
You got my name, you got my number
You got my number, you got my name
Now I'm gonna settle down, get myself a wife or two
No more of this running around like I used to do
Call me if you need my love, baby
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love, baby
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love, baby
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love, baby
Call me if you need my love
Voodoo (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 4:27
When the moon rises, the dogs will howl
Look out of your window, I'll be on the prowl
I'm not usually a gambling man
But oh I just wanna hold up my hands
And say I'm taking a chance on you love
Woah I'm taking a chance on you love
I'm not superstitious and I don't wear no charm
I don't carry my heart on the sleeve of my arm
Seven years of bad luck, please, don't worry me
'Cause when I look in the mirror, here's the future I see
I'm taking a chance on you love
Woah, I'm taking a chance on you love
Place your bets, better yet
Don't forget, what I said
Roll the dice, spin the wheel
Always remember, you've got to keep it real
Don't believe in voodoo, black magic was never my style
But I believe you do, and it won't take much time
To gather the portions that weave your magic spell
The moon on the ocean has a secret to tell
But anyway I'm taking a chance on you love
Woah I'm taking a chance on you love
Woah I'm taking a chance on you love
Some Things That Glitter (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 4:03
Once I loved a butterfly
Don't wonder how, don't ask me why
But I believed what I'd been told
"All things that glitter can't be gold"
Ooooo ooo yeah
All things that glitter can't be gold
Those jealous minds conspired to say
Just let that creature fly away
How can it be she has it all
Her pride is headed for a fall
Ooooo ooo yeah
All things that glitter can't be gold
Oh Lord, what races we run
Seeking our place in the sun
Reaching and hoping we'll find the right one
Now every day a new joy brings
My butterfly grew golden wings
It seems we find as we grow old
Some things that glitter may be gold
Ooooo ooo yeah
Some things that glitter may be gold
So let us mind what's there to see
Before our hearts become too cold
In spite of all that we've been told
Some things that glitter may be gold
Ooooo ooo yeah
Some things that glitter may be gold
Ooooo ooo yeah
Some things that glitter
May be gold
C-lebrity (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 3:38
Ain't got no hope
Got no idea
What to do
Or why I'm here
Wanna get my face
On your TV
I wanna be heard
I want to be seen
Ain't got nothin'
No
Nothing
Nothin' to show
Make me a c-lebrity
I want to be
A face on TV
(I wanna be on your screen)
Then you can see
I'm a c-lebrity
I wanna get my features
In magazines
See this creature on every street
On every screen
Write my life story
Before I'm twenty one
I got to tell the world
They may say I'm dumb but er
Ain't got nothin'
No
Nothing
Nothing to show
Make me a c-lebrity
I want to be
A face on TV
(I wanna be on your screen)
Then you can see
I'm a c-lebrity
I wanna be a star
In a Broadway musical
They're gonna love me
I can't sing or dance at all
Some may say I'm lackadaisical
And if I was real good
I'd stand no chance at all
I want to be
A face on TV
(Yeah I wanna be on your screen)
Then you can see
I'm a c-lebrity
Then you can say
You knew me one day
Then you will see
I'm a c-lebrity
C c-lebrity
Wanna be a c c c-lebrity
Make my dream come true
C c-lebrity
Wanna be a c c c c-lebrity
I wanna be heard
I want to be seen
On every TV screen
Through the Night (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 4:54
Tell me something that'll ease my pain
I am living life in vain
Crying doesn't help me anymore
Tell me something that'll ease my mind
I am walking the line
Trying doesn't get my anywhere
I wander through the night
All the stars are shining bright
Searching for a guiding light
I wander through the night
Tell me something 'cause I need to know
Can you teach me how to live
How to understand how to love and how to give
Anger burns in bitterness and fills me up inside
I can't face it and there's no place I can hide
I wander through the night
All the stars are shining bright
Searching for a guiding light
I wander through the night
Tell me something 'cause I need to know
Can you teach me how to live
How to understand how to love and how to give
Anger burns in bitterness and fills me up inside
Without your love there's nowhere I can hide
I wander through the night
All the stars are shining bright
Searching for a guiding light
I wander through the night
Say It's Not True (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 4:00
The harder we play, the faster we fall
When we think that we know it all, we know nothing at all
The letter arrives like a bolt from the blue
So what's left of your lives, all your dreams lost to you
Say it's not true, say it today
When I open my eyes, will it all go away?
Say it's not true, say it for real
Can't be happened to you, can't be happened to me
It's hard not to cry, it's hard to believe
So much heartache and pain, so much reason to grieve
With the wonders of science, all the knowledge we've stored
Magic cocktails for lives people just can't afford
Say it's not true, you can say it's not right
It's hard to believe the size of the crime
Say it's not true, you can say it's not real
Could be happened to you, could be happened to me
Say it's not true, you can say it's not right
It's hard to believe the size of the crime
Say it's not true, you can say it's not real
Could be happened to you, could be happened to me
Surf's up... School's out! (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 5:38
Surf's up, school's out
I got a criminal urge to twist and shout
I've been searching my whole life through
For some perfect dream imagined in my youth
(Follow that dream
Surf's up, school's out
Surf's up, school's out)
For a perfect life, find a perfect girl
You gotta follow that dream to a perfect world
I've been a searcher, an adventurer too
This ride still runs, I wanna ride with you
This ride still runs, wanna ride with you
(Follow that dream
Surf's up, school's out
Surf's up, school's out)
In the town and the country
We all lay and dreamed our dreams
Then we found the world is tough
And all is not quite what it seems
Gotta take it by the horns
Gotta seize your precious day
Gotta follow your dream
(Follow that dream
Follow that dream
Follow that dream
Surf's up, school's out
Follow that dream
Surf's up, school's out
Surf's up
Follow that dream
Surf's up, school's out
Surf's up, school's out
Follow that dream)
Follow that dream
Small Reprise (Queen and Paul Rodgers) - 2:05
Everyone needs a place they can hide
Everyone need to find peace sublime
Oh peace of mind
Runaway (iTunes Only Track) (Shannon, Crook) - 5:28
As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young
I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway
Musitron solo
I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway
A-run-run-run-run-runaway
