Queen: The Greatest Legend Lives Forever

Innuendo

One, two, three, four
While the sun hangs in the sky, and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars, and the rainbow
'Til the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh, yes, we'll keep on trying
Tread that fine line
Oh, we'll keep on trying. Yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, color or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on
Oh, yes, we'll keep on trying
We'll tread that fine line
Oh, we'll keep on trying
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time
Through the sorrow, all through our splendor
Don't take offense at my innuendo
You can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
Be free with your tempo, be free, be free
Surrender your ego. Be free, be free to yourself
Ooh, ooh
If there's a god or any kind of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself, destroy our fears, release your mask
Oh, yes, we'll keep on trying
Hey! Tread that fine line
Yeah, we'll keep on smiling. Yeah!
And whatever will be, will be
We'll just keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time

♪ Song fact: Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor wrote the lyrics to this song as a tribute to Led Zeppelin. When Robert Plant joined the three surviving members of Queen at Freddie Mercury's memorial concert at Wembley Stadium, they played a full version of this song, which included parts of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir " and " Thank You."
The music was started off by Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon jamming in the studio in Montreux. From then on Freddie Mercury composed the song and added the long interlude. The melody is Mercury's as well. Lyrics were started off by Mercury but completed by drummer Roger Taylor. Yes guitarist Steve Howe played the Spanish guitar solo in the middle because, admittedly, Brian May couldn't do it. Steve dropped by in the studio to say hi to producer David Richards, then Freddie invited him to join them on the track. Chris Daughtry performed this song on the fifth season of American Idol . Simon Cowell called his performance "indulgent" and asked why he didn't sing one of the great Queen songs instead.
