I Cant Live With You
Words and music by queen
I cant live with you
But I cant live without you
I cant let you stay
Ooh but I cant live if you go away
I dont know just how it goes
All I know is I cant live with you
Yeah Im having a hard time
Im walking a fine line between hope and despair
You may think that I dont care
But I travelled a long road to get hold of my sorrow
I tried to catch a dream
But nothings what it seems
Love is saying baby its all right
When deep inside youre really petrified
Lover turns to hater
On this escalator
I cant live with you - yeah
But I cant live without you
I cant breathe if you stay
But I cant bear you to go away
I dont know what time it is
All I know is I cant live with you
Were stuck in a bad place
Were trapped in a rat race
And we cant escape
Maybe theres been some mistake
Were trying to make a high score
Were walking through a closed door
And nobodys winning
Were just sinning against ourselves
Hold on baby tell me its all right
Angers breaking from the hurt inside
Passions screaming hotter
Doin what we gotta do - yeah
I cant live with you I cant live with you
I cant live I cant live
I cant I cant live with you
But baby Ill never ever leave you
I cant live with you
But I cant live without you
Cause Im in love with you
Ooh and everything about you
I cant live with you
No I just cant live I just cant live
I cant live with you
Yeah and I cant live without you
Through the madness through the tears
Weve still got each other
For a million years - yeah
Ooh yeah
Yeah - I cant live without you - yeah yeah
I cant live without you
Yeah yeah oh oh oh
I cant live without you
I cant live without you
I cant live without you
Oh oh I cant live without you baby baby baby
Without you

Shouting from the back row
Like monkeys at a zoo
Intricate abuses
Hey Pinky we'll get you
Everybody guessing
It's hard to work them out
Everything that was dead and gone
When we're dead we'll be looking on, yes we will
We had this little something
To fix you when you're flat
Pink magic was its theme
And it would fix you just like that
Everybody tried it
It worked out pretty well
When you think that you're feeling down
Sing a song it will bring you round, yes it will
Easy, easy does it
Can't you learn to live in peace
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Take it, take it slowly
There's no real need to race
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Gently, gently darling
You don't have to keep the pace

Ridin' High
I'm living just to live it up
Whoa yeah
Since the day that I was born
I've been rockin' round my block
Just a leather coated lover
With a tattoo on my heart
Now I'm going downtown
Feel I should strut my stuff, babe
Workin' on one track mind
And baby that's not all
Keep the motor running cuz
I ain't got time to waste
I'm dressing for success
I guess I'm blessed with good taste
Ain't no dream you're seeing things
You've never seen before
Oh Yeah
Well I'm breathing down your neck
Knockign down your door, yeah
CHORUS
I'm living just to live it up
Ridin' high
Ridin' free
Gonna live it up
Before they bury me
Grade yourselves 103
Gonna live it up
Before they bury me
Hope the bury me

Sitting Too High on Horse
Of course,
I will keep my expectations and aspirations high.
And I hope my ambitions to outdo myself,
Will not be interpreted by others...
As one who seems to carry,
Their aspirations on their shoulders.
Or expectations sitting too high on that horse.

Dreaming
Yeah! ?
Yeah! ?
Yea!
I follow a dream
Down the alley's end
Where I dare not
even do I scream
Always:
Was the living
That was such a sin
And when I wasn't
Does it come unto an end
Dreaming was easy
Just like breathing all again
All that one has to do is
Open up and let it in
My expectations were justly high
Were all I surely needed
If my dreams just get me by
Surely Oh how have I succeeded

The Bar Has Been Raised Much Too High
There is a standard set,
In the best of an idealistic premise...
To keep as a measure,
That checks one's advancement.
But expectations lowered,
Will eventually affect...
Those once kept high standards.
Slipping to catch the absence of discipline.
And with a mediocrity achieved...
To come alter the notion of ambition,
A proclamation introduce will claim...
The bar has been raised much too high.
Especially for those...
Seeking their need for attention,
And remedial assistance.
With no guarantee for achievement.
'The bar...
It has been raised again,
And much too high!
It must be lowered.
It must be lowered.
Please follow intructions to lower,
Expectations.'
'The bar...
It has been raised again,
And much too high!
It must be lowered.
It must be lowered.
Please follow intructions to lower,
Expectations.'
This is declared from a robotic voice,
Programmed to monitor classroon activities.

Hi Nrg
(i. levine / f. trench)
High energy, your love is lifting me.
Oh, yeah...
High energy, your love is lifting me,
Lifting me high...high...
Oh, so high.
It was only last week when we first met,
And I was walking down the street.
You came up from behind me and I knew
That our eyes were gonna meet.
Thats when I fell into your arms,
Imagine my surprise.
I thought this only happened in fairy-tales,
Love hit me right between the eyes.
Ooh
High energy, your love is lifting me.
Oh, yeah...
High energy, your love is lifting me,
Lifting me high...high...
When you called me on the telephone,
You made my spirits rise.
Im glad the others didnt last;
Its a blessing in disguise.
Every time youre touching me,
It gives me such a thrill.
When I look deep into your eyes,
My heart just cant keep still.
Oh, no, no, no!
High energy, your love is lifting me.
Ooh, yeah... high energy, your love is lifting me,
Lifting me high...high...(oh so high)
All the gold thats in fort knox,
Couldnt buy this happiness.
And with your love, I dont need money,
I dont need success.
I became a victim of a certain love attack.
It happened in the blink of an eye,
And theres no holding back.
No, no ,no ,no!
High energy, your love is lifting me. (oh, yeah)
High energy, your love is lifting me. (oh, yeah...high)
High energy, your love is lifting me. (oh, yeah)
High energy, your love is lifting me.
Lifting me high...
