Queen: The Greatest Legend Lives Forever

Misfire

Don't you misfire; fill me up
With the desire to carry on
Don't you know, honey, that love's a game
It's always a hit or miss
So take your aim
Got to hold on tight
Shoot me out of sight
Don't you misfire; fill me up
With the desire to carry on
Don't you misfire; fill me up
With the desire to carry on
Your gun is loaded
And pointing my way
There's only one bullet
So don't delay
Got to time it right
Fire me through the night
Come on take a shot
Fire me higher
Don't you miss this time
Please don't misfire
Misfire

♪ Song fact: Queen's lyrics often reveal a quirky sense of humor, and this song seems to be about that peculiarly male problem of premature ejaculation. "Misfire" is notable in that it is the first song John Deacon was credited for writing in Queen history. His bandmates often noted in interviews how he was very shy and cautious about putting forward his suggestions for songs, not thinking that they were good enough for consideration. The band gently coaxed him out of his shell, though, and he became something of a "secret weapon" (as described my keyboardist Fred Mandel in the Days of our Lives documentary) for the group, writing "major hits out of nowhere" - the first of those being "You're My Best Friend" on A Night at the Opera, and perhaps his biggest being "Another One Bites The Dust."
