[00:00.00]The Golden Boy - Freddie Mercury/Montserrat Caballé
[00:45.08]The boy had a way with words
[00:46.85]He sang he moved with grace
[00:49.20]He entertained so naturally
[00:51.96]No gesture out of place
[00:53.64]His road in life was clearly drawn
[00:56.27]He didn't hesistate
[00:57.87]He played they saw
[00:59.42]He conquered as the master
[01:03.45]As the master of his fate
[01:06.97]The girl had an iron soul
[01:10.42]No one could recognise
[01:13.05]Material ambition that her gentleness disguised
[01:19.27]She gave herself to him certain of his fame
[01:25.58]Wanted him for luxury
[01:28.60]For limelight and his name
[01:34.34]And then he sang to her
[01:41.73]I love you for your silence
[01:47.91]I love you for your peace
[01:53.84]The still and calm releases
[01:59.62]That sweep into my soul
[02:03.39]That slowly take control
[02:08.79]I love you for your passion
[02:14.24]I love you for your fire
[02:20.24]The violent desire
[02:26.44]That burns me in it's flame
[02:29.96]A love I dare not name
[02:34.82]His rise was irresistable
[02:37.78]He grew into the part
[02:41.55]His explanation simply
[02:44.14]That he suffered for his art
[02:47.20]No base considerations
[02:49.69]Of some glittering reward
[02:53.55]The prize was knowing
[02:54.82]That his work his work was noticed and adored
[03:02.62]I love you for your silence
[03:08.56]I love you for your peace
[03:14.53]The still and calm releases
[03:20.59]That sweep into my soul
[03:24.09]That slowly slowly take control
[03:30.93]Yes he told the truth
[03:34.70]Accepting every honour
[03:37.66]With a masterly display
[03:41.50]Of well rehearsed reluctance
[03:44.38]To be singled out this way
[03:47.64]He started to believe
[03:49.95]That he was all they said and more
[03:52.55]And more
[03:53.43]She forgot
[03:54.72]She forgot the reasons reasons
[03:57.63]She had wanted him before
[04:03.45]I love you for your passion
[04:08.37]I love you for your fire
[04:20.71]The violent desire
[04:24.90]A love I dare not name
[04:29.76]The still and calm releases
[04:35.87]That sweep into my soul
[04:40.31]That slowly
[04:41.23]Slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly
[04:49.02]Slowly slowly slowly
[04:56.16]Take control
[05:08.66]And when at last they fell apart
[05:11.51]She wished that she could be
[05:12.96]The hardened heart of yesterday as cynical as he
[05:17.70]By changing for the better
[05:21.95]She had changed things for the worse
[05:23.84]The words that made them happy
[05:26.32]Once now echoed echoed as a curse
