Drowse (2014 Remaster) Lyrics - Queen

It's the sad-eyed, goodbye, yesterday moments I remember 

It's the bleak street, weak-kneed partings 

I recall 

It's the mistier mist 

The hazier days 

The brighter sun 

And the easier lays 

There's all the more reason for laughing and crying 

When you're younger and life isn't too hard at all 

It's the fantastic drowse of the afternoon Sundays 

That bored you to rages of tears 

The unending pleadings, to waste all your good times 

In thoughts of your middle aged years 

It's a vertical hold, all the things that you're told 

For the everyday hero it all turns to zero. 

And there's all the more reason for living or dying 

When you're young and your troubles are all very small 

Out here on the street 

We'd gather and meet 

And scuff up the sidewalk 

with endlessly restless feet 

Half of the time 

We'd broaden our minds 

More in the poolhall than we did in the schoolahll 

With the downtown chewing-gum bums 

Watching the nightlife, the lights and the fun 

Never wanted to be the boy next door, 

Always thought I'd be something more, 

But it ain't easy for a downtown boy 

It ain't easy at all, 

Thinkin'it right, doin'it wrong 

It's easier from an armchair 

Waves of alternatives wash at my sleepiness 

Have my eggs poached for breakfast I guess 

I think I'll be Clint Eastwood 

Jimi Hendrix he was good 

Let's try William the Conqueror 

Now who else do I like?
