Brian May and Kerry Ellis - Life Is Real lyrics

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 Loneliness is my hiding place Breastfeeding myself What more can I say I have swallowed the bitter pill I can taste it, I will taste it Life is real Life is real Life is real Music will be my mistress Loving like a who*e Freddie is a genius Living in every pore Life is real Life is real Life is real, so real Life is cruel Life is a b**h Life is real - so real Life is real Life is real Oooh, life is real Life is real Kerry: Thank you
