Queen: The Greatest Legend Lives Forever

The Millionaire Waltz

Bring out the charge of the love brigade
There is spring in the air once again
Drink to the sound of the song parade
There is music and love everywhere
Give a little love to me (I want it)
Take a little love from me, I want to share it with you
I feel like a millionaire
Once we were mad, we were happy
We spent all our days holding hands together
Do you remember, my love?
How we danced and played
In the rain we laid
Wish that we could stay there, forever and ever
Now I am sad
You are so far away
I sit counting the hours day by day
Come back to me, how I long for your love
Come back to me - be happy like we used to be
Come back, come back to me
Come back, come back to me - aah
Oh, come back to me, oh my love
How I long for your love - won't you come back to me, yeah
My fine friend - take me wiz you unt love me forever
My fine friend - forever - forever
Bring out the charge of the love brigade
There is spring in the air once again
Drink to the sound of the song parade
There is music and love everywhere
Give a little love to me (I want it)
Take a little love from me, I want to share it with you
Come back, come back to me - make me feel
You make me feel like a millionaire

♪ Song fact: This song is about Scotsman John Reid, Queen's manager at the time. Openly homosexual, he also managed Elton John and had a long-term relationship with him. He was, according to Brian May, an "ebullient character" who helped manage the band through a tough time.
Interestingly, according to a May interview with Rick Wakeman (of prog rockers Yes), the band were looking for a new album after splitting with their original management ("Death on Two Legs") in 1975, and had been in negotiations with Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant. His advice was to tour whilst he sorted out the band's dire financial situation, but in contrast John Reid's advice was to "go into the studio and make the best record you can make."
In the end the band went with Reid as they feared Grant would be too busy prioritizing Zeppelin to focus on them. The decision paid off as the resulting album spawned the hit "Bohemian Rhapsody"!
Brian May in Q Magazine March 2008: "This was our greatest musical excess. It teems with baroque life and makes Bohemian Rhapsody look easy. Great piece of Freddie."
Freddie Mercury in an interview on Capital Radio: "Actually I'd like to say that Brian (May) did do a very good job on the actual guitars. He's really taken his guitar orchestration to its limits, I don't know how he's ever going to out do that one actually. And John (Deacon) played very good bass on that. I think it's good and we're patting ourselves on the back again. I really think it's worked out well especially from the orchestration point of view. Because he's really used his guitar in a different sort of way, I know he's done lots of orchestrations before.
