The Golden Boy - Freddie Mercury/Montserrat Caballé

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 drawn

He didn't hesistate

He played they saw

He conquered as the master

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 it's 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 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 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

And more

She forgot

She forgot the reasons reasons

She had wanted him before

I love you for your passion

I love you for your fire

The violent desire

A love I dare not name

The still and calm releases

That sweep into my soul

That slowly

Slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly

Slowly slowly 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
