The Mercury Man

Chorus

The Mercury Man

I can see you flying through the sky

We have an epic plan

Having been to Mercury now I know why

I can feel it’s pace

Running through my blood stream

Thank you for helping me win the race

Verses

Twenty years ago you said to me

‘You were born to be on stage’

Well I’m ready Freddie

To rock steady

I can see those stars in the sky

I can hear you all in heaven

Guiding me to the key

Completely free to be

Rocking the stage

I feel such rage

About my past

But you know I’m super fast

And I’m ready to take this purpose on

It’s been 22 years in the making

You know my story

In all it’s glory

Please don’t distract me

Refract me

I’m now ready to sing

For I know what it will bring

Watch me move my feet

Feeling the rhythm and the beat

I need to find my band

Permission to land

Like a rocket from outer space

We dream but now I’ll show you my face

I can see the crowd

I feel super proud

Of you

For waiting for me

Patiently in time

You knew I’d be fine

So let’s get ready Freddie

I’ve found the music producer

My body feels looser

Going back to my dance class

What a farce

20 kilos to lose

But it will drop off quick

The hands of time tick

I need the mirror and the beam

Focusing on my dream

It’s not about fame

What a sorry game

I need to express myself

No longer on the shelf

The costumes and the shows

Oh boy the music videos

Madonna’s waiting at the door

I’ll see you backstage on the dance floor

Sting

Just think what this could bring

Let me jiggle it

Riggle it

Whack it

Smack it

And crack it

The face paint

I can see the taint

The sets on stage

You’ve freed me from my cage

It’ll be big sound

Like Europe’s The Final Countdown

Bowie’s shining crown

Prince says it’ll be just fine

MJ’s moving his feet

Elvis moves his knees to the beat

There’s a rock concert in the sky

Wembley we’re gonna fly

Madonna I’m here

You know I’m your lucky star

Cos we shine so bright wherever we are

John Lennon: ‘Now Imagine’
