This album was released under the name 'Queen +', as it contains 9 Queen tracks (one without Freddie), 4 solo tracks, collaborations with Elton John, David Bowie, George Michael, and one remix by Wyclef Jean. It was also released as a companion video.

While the album collects together new tracks, and some 'missing' from the previous two 'Greatest Hits' albums, it still omits a number of hits, namely:
Body Language (#25, April 1982)
Back Chat (#40, August 1982)
Scandal (#25, October 1989)
A Winter's Tale (#6, December 1995)

Fourteen of the tracks on the album were released as singles in the UK, while one was released outside the UK, and one was released a single after the album release. The album contains three number one singles, seven top fives, nine top tens, fourteen top 20 singles, and one new track. 'Thank God It's Christmas' is the single with the worst chart performance, reaching no 21. In total, the singles on the album have spent 133 weeks (over 2 and a half years) in the charts. The average single on the album reached no. 9 and spent 9 weeks on chart. These statistics are very similar to those for the singles on 'Greatest Hits II' (though of course this album does include solo and new material).

The Japanese release features 'I Was Born To Love You' instead of 'Thank God It's Christmas'.

The Show Must Go On

(live)

Track 1. Written by Queen. Length 4:19.
Performed live by Queen + Elton John, at the National Theatre De Challiot, Paris, on 17 January 1997, during the world premiere of the 'Bejart Ballet For Life'.
The original version of this track appears on the 1991 album 'Innuendo'.
Lyrics:
Empty spaces, what are we living for
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for

Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore

The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My make up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for

I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning (turning, turning) round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday grow but never die
I can fly my friends

The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show
Ooh

I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
With the show

The show must go on
The show must go on

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love

People on streets
Ah, ah, ah
Um, boom, bah, bay

Ba, ba, boom, bah, baby
Why don't we give love that one more chance?

Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure
Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure

Pressure pushing down on me
Pushing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Um, bah, bah, bay
Um, bah, bah, bay
Eh, day, dah
Eh, day, dah
That's OK

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
Let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets

Day, day, dah, day, de, dah
Day, day, dah, day, de, dah
Day, day, dah, day, de, dah
Day, day, dah, day, de, dah
OK

Chipping around - kick my brains around the floor (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
These are the days, it never rains but it pours
Eh, bay, bop (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Eh, ba, ba, bop (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Eh, doh, dop (ooh)
Be, dop

People on streets
Eh, dah, dee, dah, day (ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
People on streets
Eh, dah, dee, dah, dee, dah, dee, dah (aahhhh)

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
Let me out
Tomorrow - gets me higher, higher
Pressure on people (high)
People on streets

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why?

Love (love, love, love, love)
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love
'Cos love's such an old fashioned word (give love, give love)
And love dares you to
Care for the people on the
Edge of the night (people on streets)
And love dares you to (people on streets)
Change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves

Under pressure

Too Much Love Will Kill You

Track 4. Written by Brian May, Frank Musker and Elizabeth Lamers. Length 4:19.
Recorded by Queen, and taken from the 1995 album 'Made In Heaven'.
Lyrics:
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone for much too long, ooh

I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind (oooh)
I've been looking back to find (oooh) where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'Cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you - every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down, oooh

How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Woh, oh, woh, yes

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you - every time

Yes, too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end

In, in, in, in the end

This could be heaven

In these days of cool reflection (reflection)
You come to me and everything seems alright
In these days of cold affections
You sit by me and everything's fine

This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, this world could be fun

In this world of cool deception
Just your smile can smooth my ride
These troubled days of cruel rejection, hmm
You come to me, soothe my troubled mind

Yeah, this could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, yeah, this world could be fun
This should be love for everyone, yeah
This world should be free, yeah, this world could be one
We should bring love to our daughters and sons
Love, love, love, love
This could be heaven for everyone
You know that

This could be heaven for everyone, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, wow

Listen, what people do to other souls
They take their lives destroy their goals
Their basic pride and dignity
Is stripped and torn and shown no pity
When this should be heaven for everyone

This could be heaven
This could be heaven, this could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven, this could be heaven
This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven, this could be heaven for every, this could be heaven for every, this could be heaven

Oh, in the dark we make a brighter light
From one spark to the horizon wide

Yeah, ooh, you'd be forgiven if you think you're dreaming
But we're working night and day to make a dream come true, yeah
Everything I do is driven by you
Oh, come on baby

Oh well it's tough to make a journey through
The right stuff is dead ahead of you and me
And you know we've still got time
Ooh, hold on tight to the driving wheel
This ride is really out of line
Raw deal, but there's no other that's worth a dime

You know I love you but you drive me crazy

Everything I do is driven by you

Everything we do, ooh yeah

Another one bites the dust
A for the dogs with the burners, that wanna blast off
Another one bites the dust
And for the kids on the blocks, shootin' at the crooked cops, blaow

And another one gone, Wyclef, and another one gone, Dirty Cash

With the brim pulled way down low
Some cat up in Brooklyn just got robbed with a Kangol
Are you ready, hey

Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway, the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat, hey

No-One But You

(Only The Good Die Young)

Track 15. Written by Brian May. Length 4:12.
Recorded by Queen (without Freddie), and taken from the 1997 compilation 'Queen Rocks'.
Lyrics:
A hand above the water
An angel reaching for the sky
Is it raining in heaven
Do you want us to cry?

And everywhere the broken hearted
On every lonely avenue
No-one could reach them
No-one but you

One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
And life goes on
Without you

Another tricky situation
I get to drownin' in the blues
And I find myself thinking
Well, what would you do?

Yes, it was such an operation (oooh, oooh, oooh)
Forever paying every due (oooh, oooh, oooh)
Hell, you made a sensation (a sensation)
You found a way through (oooh, found a way through)

One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
We'll remember
Forever

And now the party must be over
I guess we'll never understand
The sense of your leaving
Was it the way it was planned?

And so we grace another table
And raise our glasses one more time
There's a face at the window
And I ain't never, never saying goodbye

One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
Crying for nothing
Crying for no-one
No-one but you

These Are The Days Of Our Lives

Track 16. Written by Queen. Length 4:15.
Recorded by Queen, and taken from the 1991 album 'Innuendo'.
Lyrics:
Sometimes I get to feeling
I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect, you know

The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young
The sun was always shining, we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know
The rest of my life's been just a show

Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look, and I find, I still love you

You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the time
Ain't that a shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a rollercoaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sitting and a thinking on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow

'Cos these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives, yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but
One thing's still true
When I look and I find
I still love you

I still love you

Thank God It's Christmas

Track 17. Written by Roger Taylor and Brian May. Length 4:18.
Recorded by Queen, and originally released as a single in 1984.
This was the first time the track was available on a commercial album, and it was later included on 'The Works' 2011 double-disc reissue.
Lyrics:
Oh, my love, we've had our share of tears
Oh, my friends, we've had our hopes and fears
Oh, my friends, it's been a long hard year
But now it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas

The moon and stars seem awful cold and bright
Let's hope the snow will make this Christmas proud
My friends, the world will share this special night
Because it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one night

Thank God it's Christmas, yeah
Thank God it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas (oooh)
Can it be Christmas (oooh)
Let it be Christmas
Every day

Oh, my love, we live in troubled days
Oh, my friend, we have the strangest ways
Oh, my friends, all this, one day, all days
Thank God it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day

Thank God it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
Ooooh, yeah
Thank God it's Christmas
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day

Christmas
And a very merry Christmas to you all
