Life Is Real Brian May and Kerry Ellis

[Brian]:
We'd like to play you a song by Freddie, the one and only Freddie, and um, this is pretty much a lesser known song
It wasn't a hit, it was just kind of squirrelled away on an album, but a really beautiful song, he dedicated this song to John Lennon
But we dedicate it to Freddie, OK, and it's called 'Life Is Real'

Guilt stains on my pillow
Blood on my terraces
Torsos in my closet
Shadows from my past

Life is real
Life is real
Life is real, so real

Sleeping is my leisure
Waking up in a minefield
Dreaming's just a pleasure dome
Love is a roulette wheel

Life is real
Life is real
Life is real, oh yeah

Success is my breathing space
I bought it on myself
I can price it, I will cash it
I can take it or leave it
