Sheer Heart Attack — третий студийный альбом британской рок-группы Queen, выпущенный 8 ноября 1974 года.
Об альбоме:
Первая известность, равно как и коммерческий успех, пришла к группе именно с этой пластинкой, а песня «Killer Queen» стала их первым громким хитом, достигнув второго места в Англии. Сам альбом также достиг второго места в британском и 12-го в чартах Биллборд 1975 года.
«Brighton Rock» на концертах Queen превратилась в соло-импровизацию Брайана Мэя. Текст для «Stone Cold Crazy» был написан Меркьюри ещё до создания Queen, но песня вышла лишь на данном, третьем альбоме.
Процесс подготовки альбома был осложнён болезнью Мэя, который заразился гепатитом. Это обнаружилось во время американского турне 1973 года, которое пришлось отменить: Брайану прописали шестимесячный постельный режим. Концертный тур проходил с 30 октября 1974 года по 1 мая 1975 года, всего было сыграно 76 концертов.
Журнал Classic Rock, поставив альбом на 16-ую позицию в своём рейтинге «100 лучших рок-альбомов всех времён», писал, что это — во всех отношениях гениальный альбом, хотя похвала обычно достаётся его преемнику: «Sheer Heart Attack — это релиз группы, абсолютно уверенной в собственном неповторимом блеске и наслаждающейся своим статусом удачливой рок-н-ролльной команды».
Клипы к альбому:
- «Killer Queen» — записан на студии BBC. Ярко выраженный глэм-рок, один из первых клипов группы. Через много лет Фредди скажет, что он не понимает, как ему могло прийти в голову так одеваться, отрастить длинные волосы, красить ногти и носить столько украшений.
- «Now I’m Here» — запись выступления в Rainbow Theatre 20 ноября 1974 года со студийным звуком. Сам клип был сделан в 1992 году, но вошёл в сборник Greatest Video Hits.
Список композиций:
Happy little day, Jimmy went away
Met his little Jenny on a public holiday
A happy pair they made, so decorously laid
’Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade
«It’s so good to know there’s still a little magic in the air
I’ll weave my spell»
«Jenny will you stay — tarry with me pray
Nothing ’ere need come between us tell me love, what
do you say»
«Oh no I must away to my Mum in disarray
If my mother should discover how I spent my holiday
It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air
I’ll say farewell»
O Rock of Ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still
O Lady Moon, shine down a little people magic if you will
Jenny pines away, writes a letter everyday
«We must ever be together, nothing can my love erase»
«Oh no I’m compromised, I must apologize
If my lady should discover how I spent my holidays...»
She keeps Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
’Let them eat cake,’ she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can’t decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She’s a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you’re that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn’t care less
Fastidious and precise
She’s a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat she’s as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She’s out to get you
She’s a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try
My new purple shoes been amazing the people next door
And my rock-and-roll 45s, been enraging the folks on the lower floor
I got a way with the girls on my block
Try my best be a real individual
And when we go down to Smokies and rock
They line up like it’s some kinda ritual
Ooh, give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hair’s a disgrace
Or just find me an open car, I’ll make the speed of light out of this place
I like the good things in life
But most of the best things ain’t free
And this same situation just cuts like a knife
When you’re young, and you’re poor, and you’re crazy
Ooh, give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hair’s a disgrace
Or just find me an open car, I’ll make the speed of light out of this place
Dislocate your spine if you don’t sign he says
I’ll have you seeing double
Mesmerize you when he’s tongue-tied
Simply with those eyes
Synchronize your minds and see
The beast within him rise
Don’t look back
Don’t look back
It’s a rip-off
Flick of the wrist and you’re dead baby
Blow him a kiss and you’re mad
Flick of the wrist — he’ll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He’s taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time honey
Baby you’ve been had.
Intoxicate your brain with what I’m saying
If not you’ll lie in knee-deep trouble
Prostitute yourself he says
Castrate your human pride
Sacrifice your leisure days
Let me squeeze you till you’ve dried
Don’t look back
Don’t look back
It’s a rip-off
Work my fingers to my bones
I scream with pain
I still make no impression
Seduce you with his money-make machine
Cross-collateralize, (big-time money, money)
Reduce you to a muzak-fake machine
Then the last goodbye
It’s a rip-off
Flick of the wrist and you’re dead baby
Blow him a kiss and you’re mad
Flick of the wrist — he’ll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He’s taken an arm, and taken a leg
All this time honey
Baby you’ve been had
I am forever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no
Neptune of the seas
Have you an answer for me please
And the lily of the valley doesn’t know
I lie in wait with open eyes
I carry on through stormy skies
I follow every course
My kingdom for a horse
But each time I grow old
Serpent of the Nile
Relieve me for a while
And cast me from your spell and let me go
Messenger from Seven Seas has flown
To tell the King of Rhye he’s lost his throne
Wars will never cease
Is there time enough for peace
But the lily of the valley doesn’t know
Here I stand (here I stand)
Look around around around around around
But you won’t see me (but you won’t see me)
Now I’m here (now I’m here)
Now I’m there (now I’m there)
I’m just a
Just a new man
Yes you made me live again, wow
A baby I was when you took my hand
And the light of the night burned bright
The people all stared didn’t understand
But you knew my name on sight
Ooh, whatever came of you and me
America’s new bride to be
Ooh, don’t worry baby I’m safe and sound
Down in the dungeon just peaches and me
Don’t I love her so
Yes she made me live again, yeah
Yeah, ooh
A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky
Where the beams of your love light chase
Don’t move, don’t speak, don’t feel no pain
With the rain running down my face
Your matches still light up the sky
And many a tear lives on in my eye
Down in the city just Hoople and me
Don’t I love him so
Ooh don’t I love him so
Whatever comes of you and me
I love to leave my memory
With you
Now I’m here (now I’m here)
Think I’ll stay around around around around around around
Down in the city just a-you and me
Don’t I love you so
Go, go, go, little queenie
Leave it in the lap of the gods
I live my life for you
Think all my thoughts with you and only you
Anything you ask I do, for you
I touch your lips with mine
But in the end
I leave it to the lords
Leave it in the lap of the gods
What more can I do?
Leave it in the lap of the gods
I leave it to you
Leave it in the lap of the gods
Leave it in the lap of the gods
I want you to
Leave it in the lap of the gods
Leave it in the lap of the gods
Leave it in the lap of the gods
Lap of the gods
Lap of the gods
Lap of the gods
Lap of the gods
Lap of the gods
Lap of the gods
Lap of the gods
Sleeping very soundly
On a Saturday morning
I was dreaming I was Al Capone
There’s a rumour going round
Gotta clear outta town
I’m smelling like a dry-fish bone
Here come the Law,
Gonna break down the door
Gonna carry me away once more
Never, I never,
I never want it any more
Gotta get away from this stone-cold floor
Crazy
Stone-cold crazy, you know
Rainy afternoon
I gotta blow a typhoon
And I’m playing on my slide trombone
Anymore, anymore,
Cannot take it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone-cold floor
Crazy
Stone-cold crazy, you know
Hit ’em up
Walking down the street
Shooting people that I meet
With my rubber Tommy water gun
Here come the deputy
He’s gonna come and get a me
I gotta get me get up and run
They got the sirens loose
I ran right out of juice
They’re gonna put me in a cell
If I can’t go to heaven
Will they let me go to hell?
Crazy
Stone-cold crazy, you know
So dear friends your love is gone
Only tears to dwell upon
I dare not say as the wind must blow
So a love is lost, a love is won
Go to sleep and dream again
Soon your hopes will rise and then
From all this gloom life can start anew
And there’ll be no crying soon
Don’t you misfire
Fill me up
With the desire
To carry on
Don’t you know honey, that love’s a game
It’s always hit or miss, so take your aim
Got to hold on tight, shoot me out of sight
Don’t you misfire
Fill me up
With the desire
To carry on
Don’t you misfire
Fill me up
With the desire
To carry on
Your gun is loaded, and pointing my way
There’s only one bullet, so don’t delay
Got to time it right, fire me through the night
Come on, take a shot
Fire me higher
Don’t you miss this time
Please don’t misfire, misfire
Misfire
Bring back bring back bring back that Leroy Brown Yeah!

Big mama Lulu Belle she had a nervous breakdown

My love
She makes me
She is my heart
She is my love
She is my love
I know
I’m jealous of her
She makes me need
She is my love
She is my love
Who knows who she’ll make me
As I lie in her cocoon
But the world will surely heal my ills
I’m warm and terrified
She makes me so
I know the day I leave her
I’ll love her still
She is my love
She is my love
Who knows where my dreams will end
I’ll follow as they grow
But the world will know how long I’ll take
And if I’m very slow she makes me so
She is my love
She is my love
It’s so easy, but I can’t do it
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 I’m no fool
It’s in the lap of the Gods
Wo wo la la la
I can see what you want me to be
I’m no fool
No beginning, there’s no ending
There’s no meaning in my pretending
Believe me, life goes on and on and on
Forgive me when I ask you where do I belong
You say I
(You can do it)
Can’t
(You can do it)
Set
(You can go and set her free)
You free from me
But that’s not true
It’s in the lap of the Gods
Wo wo la la la oh
I can see what you want me to be
But I’m no fool
It’s in the lap of the Gods
Wo wo la la la wo
Wo wo la la
Wo wo ooh
But that’s not true
It’s in the lap of the Gods
Wo wo la la la wo
Wo wo la la
Wo wo ooh
But I’m no fool

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