Life Is Real
Brian: We'd like to play you a song by Freddie, the one and only Freddie, and um, this is pretty much a lesser known song, it wasn't a hit, it was just kind of squirrelled away on an album, but a really beautiful song, he dedicated this song to John Lennon, but we dedicate it to Freddie, OK, and it's called 'Life Is Real'
Guilt stains on my pillow
Blood on my terraces
Torsos in my closet
Shadows from my past
Life is real
Life is real
Life is real, so real
Sleeping is my leisure
Waking up in a minefield
Dreaming's just a pleasure dome
Love is a roulette wheel
Life is real
Life is real
Life is real, oh yeah
Success is my breathing space
I bought it on myself
I can price it
I will cash it
I can take it or leave it
Loneliness is my hiding place
Breastfeeding myself
What more can I say
I have swallowed the bitter pill
I can taste it, I will taste it
Life is real
Life is real
Life is real
Music will be my mistress
Loving like a whore
Freddie is a genius
Living in every pore
Life is real
Life is real
Life is real, so real
Life is cruel
Life is a bitch
Life is real - so real
Life is real
Life is real
Oooh, life is real
Life is real
Kerry: Thank you
