Freddie as a baby... how sweet....

Don't Stop Me Now
(My Favourite Queen Song)

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world turning inside out Yeah !
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me

I'm burning' through the sky Yeah !
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm havin' a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm havin' a good time)
I don't want to stop at all

I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode

I'm burnin' through the sky Yeah !
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man of you

Don't stop me don't stop me
Don't stop me hey hey hey !
Don't stop me don't stop me
Don't stop me have a good time
Good time don't stop me
Don't stop me Ah

I'm burnin' through the sky Yeah !
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm havin' a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm havin' a good time)
I don't want to stop at all

Freddie with two of his darling cats, Oscar and Tiffany

Freddie in his favourite waistcoat

"He loved the waistcoat which he wore for this shot It was a present from Joe's friend Donald McKenzie who with the help of Joe had managed to get hold of photos of all Freddie's cats and had given them to a friend of his who had painted them onto the silk body of the waistcoat."  

       Peter Freestone. "Mister Mercury"

The Golden Boy
(My Favourite Freddie solo song)

The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved with grace
He entertained so naturally, no gesture out of place
His road in life was clearly ddrawn, he didn't hesistate
He played, they saw, he conquered as the master of his fate.

The girl had an iron soul no-one could recognise
Material ambition that her gentleness disguised
She gave herself to him certain of his fame
Wanted him for luxury, for limelight and his name.

And then he sang to her

I love you for your silence
I love you for your peace
The still and calm releases
That sweep into my soul
That slowly take control

I love you for your passion
I love you for your fire
The violent desire
That burns me in its flame
A love I dare not name

His rise was irresistable - he grew into the part
His explanation simply that he suffered for his art
No base considerations of some glittering reward
The prize was knowing that his work was noticed and adored

I love you for your silence
I love you for your peace
The still and calm releases
That sweep into my soul
That slowly take control

Yes he told the truth

Accepting every honour with a masterly display
Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way
He started to believe that he was all they said and more
While she forgot - she forgot the reasons she had wanted him before

I love you for your passion
I love you for your fire
The violent desire
That burns me in its flame
A love I dare not name

The still and calm releases
That sweep into my soul
That slowly take control

And when at last they fell apart she wished that she could be
The hardened heart of yesterday, as cynical as he.
By changing for the better, she had changed things for the worse.
The words that made them happy once now echoed ... echoed as a curse.


I have  found a beautifuly funnyFreddie page...

Freddie, as we will always remember him, top of his game, and loving every moment of it....

Come on Mags, don't make me sadder and more depressed than I am...
That November week will be tough. On the 24th we'll celebrate 10 years since Freddie passed away and on the 29th 20 years since Natalie Wood's death...Wink

You're celebrating his death? How odd, I thought you liked the guy. Tongue

Freddy was a genius, yes, and I don't understand why they kept the band together, at least under the same name, after his passage. Those songs are really something to get me reminiscing. Smile

Ile, I'm not in the mood for jokes, really...
Yes, that continuance was strange. With Elton John, or Axl, but it wasn't Queen...

You know, the day Freddie died I had the biggest fever I ever had. I literally got sick when my dad told me that he'd died. I laid in bad for like three days goind as high as 41 degrees....

I was only approaching my 7th birthday, so the impact of it didn't hit me.....

You know whats strange though? My youngest brother was born the day after the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. That is, he was born 21st April, 1992...... Useless family trivia

You think you are sad and depressed?..... welcome to my life........

Sorry Mags...What's bugging you? I am losing it anyway.


I'm Going Slightly Mad | (I was alread there LONG ago) - CardsForSorrow - Sep 05, 2001

Nothing much is wrong with me, except that I feel I'm losing grip of my life..... PM me sometime and I'll tell you about it....


I'm Going Slightly Mad | (I was alread there LONG ago) - Amor Fati - Sep 05, 2001
