Mm ba ba de
Um bum ba de
Um bu bu bum da de
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da - that's okay
It's the terror of knowing
What the world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people people on streets
Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
Okay
Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap
People on streets - ee da de da de
People on streets - ee da de da de da de da
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher higher high
Pressure on people people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why?
Love love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love give love give love give love
Give love give love give love give love give love
'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the (People on streets) edge of the night
And loves (People on streets) dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
Um bum ba de
Um bu bu bum da de
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for

It's the terror of knowing
What the world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'

Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours

Under pressure
Under pressure

To clear things up I decided to comment on Cool Cat as my nicknames Kat so I just thought Id pick it (yes I know its spelt differently) it was just a random comment, not even about cool cat. I was a little annoyed at some of the comments I was reading so I thought Id have a moan, didnt want to start an arguement or anything.
The person who is gmandi1708 is actually my friend so i really doubt she was being mean making that comment, just another comment not to be taken too literally. as for geek_uk, i dont know them but i agree with most of your comments.
Anyways, Im beginning to talk crap so...as fellow queen fans (if thats what zoom even is) then cant we all just learn to get along?
maybe they just choose a random song with no comments,
maybe they like this song
or maybe they just felt like it.
Heck, almost any other song on Hot Space would have been better, save for Dancer and Body Language - too crap - and Under Pressure - too popular. Also, almost any song on Queen II, the lesser tracks on the Miracle (Rain Must Fall, Was It All Worth It? or Hang On In There) or perhaps the rest of News of the World after WWRY/WATC, but don't quote me on that one.
Another thing, why are you flaming me and not gmandi1708 , who stated the point in the first place anyway?
Many times i've been questioned as to my sexuality because my favorite group is far and away Queen. While mortality does enter into alot of their early songs, its in a very cosmic way (the over all scheme of things, religiously). The final two albums definitely were autobiographical of the band in general, not just Freddie.
But, this song i actually like this song alot, many of Queen's "staunch (or people who are so zealous that they hate anything that came out after Sheer Heart Attack)" and "radio(those who attend sporting events, and listen to "Absolutely 80s") listeners pass this album off as just commercially driven and crappy, i however enjoy it, its not my favorite, but there is alot of stuff here that is really good. Queen was so bold to try an effort like this at that time, KUDOS! we were rewarded with a new facet to the world's only monarch
You heard cool cat with bowie in it true queen fan? its, hmmm, bizare!
