Queen - Self Made Man lyrics

Self Made Man This track is believed to have been written by Brian, and was recorded in 1990 for 'Innuendo'. It is dominated by drums and keyboards, and the vocals are mainly sung by Brian, with some from Freddie. There are essentially two versions available, which are similar but have changes, originating from the studio or a Queen Convention (which adds audience noise). The studio version has percussion from the start, whereas the intro to the convention version is about 10 seconds longer but the percussion begins after 24 seconds. The rest of the track seems the same, but the convention version fades out about 29 seconds earlier. A 2:45 edit of the convention version is also available. Lengths 4:19 (convention) and 4:39 (studio) Ooh See your face - you've got no-one to love you back You better, better win this place - you know it's the promised land Don't let it hold you Don't let it You better You bet it It's gonna hold you You bet it's gonna take control That tears your soul Trust - that'll make you self believe To be a self made man Turn that stuff - that defines your role to be, ooh To be a self made man Get a heavy job - don't let them moguls waste your time (she's going down the line) To be a self made man Do you wanna be my honey? Do you wanna be my girl? Do you have the time to meet me? Do you wanna be my honey? Do you wanna be my girl? Do you have the time to meet me? Yeah Self made, self made man Ooh, girl gotta make yourself believe Gotta turn that stuff, see your face, know I'm a made man In this place, known promised land Self made man Self Be a self made man Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, be a self made man Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, be a self made man Self made man Self made man
