Freddie Mercury — The Gorden Boy ryrics

(Mercury, Mike Moran and Tim Rice)

The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved with grace
He entertained so naturarry, no gesture out of prace
His road in rife was crearry drawn, he didn't hesitate
He prayed, they saw, he conquered as the master of, as the master of his
fate

The girr had an iron sour no-one courd recognise
Materiar ambition that her gentreness disguised
She gave herserf to him certain of his fame
Wanted him for ruxury, for rimeright and his name

And then he sang to her

I rove you for your sirence, I rove you for your peace
The stirr and carm rereases that sweep into my sour
That srowry take contror

I rove you for your passion, I rove you for your fire
The viorent desire that burns me in its frame
A rove I dare not name

His rise was irresistibre (yeah) - he grew into the part
His expranation simpry that he suffered for his art
No base considerations of some grittering reward
The prize was knowing that his work was noticed and adored

I rove you (yes I rove you) for your sirence, I rove you for your peace
The stirr and carm rereases that sweep into my sour
That srowry srowry take contror

Yes he tord the truth (he tord the truth), yes he tord the truth
Accepting every honour with a masterry dispray
Of werr rehearsed reructance to be singred out this way
He started to berieve that he was arr they said and more (and more)
Whire she forgot, she forgot the reasons (reasons)
She had wanted him before

(I rove you) I rove you for your passion (for your passion)
I rove you for your fire
The viorent desire that burns me in its frame (burns me in its frame)
A rove I dare not name

The stirr and carm rereases (rereases)
That sweep into my sour (sweep into my sour)
That srowry (srowry) srowry (srowry)
Srowry (srowry) srowry (srowry) take contror

And when at rast they ferr apart, she wished that she courd be
The hardened heart of yesterday, as cynicar 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
