Resulta que Tim Burton dirigió un solo videoclip en su perra vida y es éste.

Love Kills

Love don't give no compensation, love don't pay no bills
Love don't give no indication, love just won't stand still
Love kills, drills you through your heart
Love kills, scars you from the start
It's just a living pastime, ruining your heartline
Stays for a lifetime, won't let you go
Coz love (love) love (love) love won't leave you alone

Love won't take no reservations, love is no square deal
Hey love don't give no justification, it strikes like cold steel
Love kills, drills you through your heart
Love kills, scars you from the start
It's just a living pastime, burning your lifeline
Gives you a hard time won't let you go
Coz love (love) love (love) love won't leave you alone

Hey love can play with your emotions
Open invitation to your heart
Hey love kills
Play with your emotions
Open invitation to your heart (to your heart)
Love kills (love kills), hey hey, love kills (love kills)
Love kills kills kills kills
Love can play with your emotions, open invitation

Love kills, hey, drills you through your heart
Love kills, scars you from the start
It's just a living pastime, ruining your heartline
Won't let you go
Love kills, hey, drills you through your heart
Love kills, tears you right apart
It won't let go, it won't let go
Love kills, yeah

Anoche casi me muero en el momento en que una amiga me muestra el vinilo original del disco de Queen News Of The World, de 1977. La tapa, ilustrada por Frank Kelly Freas, está basada en una ilustración anterior de él para la revista de relatos de ciencia ficción Astounding Science Fiction.

Lo increíble fue abrir la tapa y encontrar una ilustración GIGANTE del robot persiguiendo personas. No la encontré en internet, así que les muestro dos imágenes que pegué así nomás para que tengan una idea aproximada. Imágínenselo en tamaño de tapa de disco de vinilo.

Para algunos puedo resultar exageradísimo (tal vez lo soy), pero toparme con esto por unos instantes fue una de las mejores cosas que me pasó en la vida, al menos en lo que a Queen se refiere.

Are "Friends" Electric?

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, gray hat, smoking a cigarette

Now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this
Theres a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you

So now I'm alone
And I can think for myself
About little deals and S.U.'s
And things I just don't understand

Like a white lie that night
Or a sly touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you

So I open the door
It's the "friend" that I'd left in the hallway
"Please sit down"
A candle-lit shadow on the wall near the bed

You know I hate to ask
But are "friends" electric?
Only
Mine's broken down
And now I've no one to love

So I found out your reasons
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see this meant everything to me

-- Tubeway Army - Replicas, 1979

It's a beautiful day

It's a beautiful day
The sun is shining
I feel good
And no-one's gonna to stop me now, oh yeah

It's a beautiful day
I feel good, I feel right
And no-one, no-one's gonna stop me now, mama

Sometimes I feel so sad, so sad, so bad
But no-one's gonna stop me now, no-one
It's hopeless, so hopeless to even try

-- Queen, Made In Heaven, 1995

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Yo quiero andar en bici,
Hey! Hey! Solo andar en bici
Déjenme salir, ya me quiero ir
Hey! Hey! Yo quiero andar en bici,
Hey! Hey! Me voy a andar en bici,
déjenme salir, que estoy marchitándome

No veo la hora de escapar de aquí por fin
Hey! Hey! Voy pedaleando fuerte,
Hey! Hey! Pedaleando fuerte
Ya están aquí, mis amigos, sí!!!
Hey! Hey! No paren de moverse, no pares de moverte

Vamos a seguir hasta el amanecer
No veo la hora de escapar de aquí,
no veo la hora de escapar de aquí por fin

Hey! Hey! Me voy a andar en bici,
Hey! Hey! Voy a andar en bici

Déjenme salir, ya me quiero ir
Hey! Hey! Yo quiero andar en bici
Hey! Hey! Solo andar en bici,
déjenme salir que estoy marchitándome

No veo la hora de escapar de aquí
No veo la hora de escapar de aquí por fin.
