Recorded at Wembley Stadium, London, on 12 July 1986. The previous night's show, Friday 11 July, was also released on the 2011 DVD.


This album was previously released in 1990 as an edited video, and released as an album in 1992. It was then re-released with the original artwork in 2003, and again with new artwork also in 2003, alongside a full length DVD. The US reissue featured four bonus tracks, namely: 'A Kind Of Magic', 'Another One Bites The Dust' and 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love', all taken from the first night's show on 11 July, and 'Tavaszi Szel Vizet Araszt', from the Budapest show on 27 July. The show was released again as a double DVD set in 2011, with or without a double CD, with the CD tracks starting in slightly different places (in most cases giving more time before the actual song itself starts). The times below refer to the 2003 reissue CD.

One Vision


Disc 1, Track 1. Track length 5:51, song length 5:47.

This track was released as a bonus streaming video as part of the 'Absolute Greatest' release in 2009. The track features the section from 0:48 to 4:58, reducing it's length to 4:10, which means it loses some of the album intro, and ends on 'Fried chicken'. The 'Queen Rocks Volume 4' US Promo CD also includes the track, fading out after 'Fried chicken' to reduce the length to 5:11.
The 2003 DVD 'Queen Cam' screen for Brian includes an edit of the track, from 1:15 to 2:15, length 1:00, while the song selection screen includes an edit equivalent to around 1:17 to 1:42, of length 0:25.

A little bit of magic, give it to me

Freddie: The swines

Ey, doh, bah, bah
Um, boom, bah, bay
Dum, dum, bah, bah, boh bah

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, day, day, day, day
OK

Chipping around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days, it never rains but it pours
Eh, doh, day, day
Eh, ba, ba, bop
Eh, doh, doh
De, 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 (aahhhh)

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
Let me out
Pray tomorrow - high, higher, high

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
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking

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, give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to
Care for the people on the
Edge of the night
And love dares you to
Change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves

Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

I'm just
Just a new man
Yes, you made me live again, hey

A baby I was when you took my hand
The light of the night burned bright
The people all stared didn't understand
But you knew my name on sight

Ooh, whatever came of you and me
America's new bride to be
Don't worry babe, I'm safe and sound
Down in the dungeon just Peaches 'n' me
Don't I love you so
'Cos you made me live again
Let's go, let's go

Yeah
Ooh, a thin moon me in a smoke screen sky
Beams of your lovelight chase
Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain

Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering
we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need

Is this the world we created, we made it on our own
Is this the world we invaded, against the law
So it seems in the end is this what we're all living for today
The world that we created

You know that everyday a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by
Oooh, oooh, ooh

Is this the world we created, we made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated right to the bone
If there's a God up in the sky looking down
What must he think of what we've done
To the world that he created

Put a gun against his head

Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all, oooh


I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolts and lightning - very, very frightening me
Gallileo, gallileo
Gallileo, gallileo
Gallileo, figaro - magnifico-o-o-o-oh
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family

Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go, let me go
Will not let you go, let me go

Oh, mama mia, mama mia
Mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oooh, baby, can't do this to me baby

Nothing really matters

Hey

Here we stand, here we fall

History don't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
Comes to you as to us all
Then it's time for the hammer to fall


Every night, every day
A little piece of you is falling away
Lift your face, the western way, baby
Build your muscles till your body decays

Toe your line and play their game
Till the anaesthetic covers it all
Till one day they call your name
Then it's time for the hammer to fall

Rich or poor or famous for
Your truth it's all the same (oh no) oh no (oh no)
Lock your door 'cos rain is pouring
Through your window pane (oh no)
Baby now your trouble's all in vain

Yeah, yeah

He who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just want to scream it louder and louder and louder

What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
Just got time to say your prayers
Then it's time for the hammer to, hammer to fall
Yeah, yeah
Oooh, ooohh, oh

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
Hot, hot
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Waiting for the hammer to, hammer to, hammer to fall

Give it to me one more time

It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo, woo)
It jives (woo, woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to
rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
And she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat

Gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch hike
Take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready

I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
(Radio)

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
(Radio)

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know and just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)

All we hear is radio ga ga

Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you


We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
Our music changes through the years
(Radio)

Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around 'cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)

All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you

Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga

You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)

All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you
Loves
You, yeah

We Will Rock You

In the 'Queen Singles Collection 4' boxed set, the track is the same as normal, fading out just as Roger begins his count-in to 'Friends Will Be Friends'.
The 2003 DVD song selection screen includes an instrumental edit of this track, equivalent to around 0:04 to 0:29, of length 0:25.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'News Of The World' album page.

Kicking your can all over the place
Singing

Yeah, sing it
Audience: We will, we will, rock you

Buddy you're a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street gonna take on the world some day
Blood on your face

Waving your banner all over the place
Singing


Audience: We will, we will, rock you
Yeah, do it
Audience: We will, we will, rock you

Buddy you're an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes gonna get you some peace some day
Blood on your face

Yeah, sing it
We will, we will, rock you
We will, we will, rock you
We will, we will, rock you

Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike, what you need is a rest
It's so easy now, 'cos you've got friends you can trust

Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand, friends will be friends right till the end


It's a beautiful day
Postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
Tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact

You're getting used to life without him in your way
It's so easy now, 'cos you got friends you can trust

Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand
Friends will be friends

Audience: Right till the end

We Are The Champions


Disc 2, Track 14. Track length 4:05, song length 3:59.
On the 1992 European single, the track fades out just as 'God Save The Queen' starts, so Freddie's dialogue is clearly audible. In the 'Queen Singles Collection 4' boxed set, the audience noise fades out earlier, so Freddie's dialogue is lost.
This track was released as a bonus streaming video as part of the 'Absolute Greatest' release in 2009. The track is identical to normal, including Freddie's dialogue at the end.
The 2003 DVD includes an edit of the track on the 'Queen Cam' Roger screen, from the start to 1:00, while the song selection screen includes two edits of the track, one equivalent to around 0:47 to 1:12, of length 0:25, and the other is an instrumental edit, for 'God Save The Queen', equivalent from around 3:27 to 3:53, also length 0:25.

Lyrics: (the first song selection excerpt includes the lyrics in blue; the menu edit includes the lyrics upto but not including the third 'champions')
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through

We are the champions, my friends

And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cos we are the champions of the world


I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it, I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
On, on, keep up

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cos we are the champions of the world

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
Oh, we are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cos we are the champions
Of the world
