Freddie Mercury — The Golden Boy - Early Version: Freddies Demo Vocal

The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved with grace He entertained so naturally, no gesture out of place His road in life was clearly drawn, he didn't hesitate He played, they saw, he conquered as the master of As the master of his fate The girl had an iron soul that no-one could recognize Material ambition that her gentleness disguised She pinned herself to his and some knowledge of his fame Wanted him for luxury for limelight and his name I love you for your silence I love you for your peace The still and calm releases That sweeps into my soul That slowly slowly takes control I love you for your passion I love you for your fire The violent desire That drapes me in it's flame A love I dare not name His rise was irresistible He grew into the part His explanation simply that he suffered for his art His base considerations of some glittering reward The prize was knowing that his work was noticed and adored Yeah Accepting every honor with (with) a masterly display (display) Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way He started on to believe that he was all they said and more But he forgot, she forgot the reasons she had wanted him before Yeah
