You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you breach
Screw my brain 'til it hurts
You've taken all my money and you want more,
Misguided old mule
With your pig-headed rules
With your narrow-minded cronies who are fools of the first division-
Death on two legs-
You're tearing me apart,
Death on two legs
You never had a heart of your own-
Kill joy, Bad guy,
Big talking, Small fry
You're just an old barrow-boy
Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me?
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good, are you satisfied?
Do you feel like suicide (I think you should)?
Is your conscience all right?
Does it plague you at night?
Do you feel good? Feel good!
You talk like a big business tycoon
You're just a hot air balloon
So no one gives you a damn
You're just an overgrown schoolboy
Let me tan your hide
A dog with disease
You're the king of the 'sleaze'
Put your money where your mouth is
Mister know-all
Was the fin on your back
Part of the deal' (shark)
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart (you never did) of your own
(right from the start)
Insane you should be put inside
You're a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride
Should be made unemployed
Then make yourself null and void
Make me feel good I feel good
You break the law and you breach
Screw my brain 'til it hurts
You've taken all my money and you want more,
Misguided old mule
With your pig-headed rules
With your narrow-minded cronies who are fools of the first division-
Death on two legs-
You're tearing me apart,
Death on two legs
You never had a heart of your own-
Kill joy, Bad guy,
Big talking, Small fry
You're just an old barrow-boy
Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me?
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good, are you satisfied?
Do you feel like suicide (I think you should)?
Is your conscience all right?
Does it plague you at night?
Do you feel good? Feel good!
You talk like a big business tycoon
You're just a hot air balloon
So no one gives you a damn
You're just an overgrown schoolboy
Let me tan your hide
A dog with disease
You're the king of the 'sleaze'
Put your money where your mouth is
Mister know-all
Was the fin on your back
Part of the deal' (shark)
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart (you never did) of your own
(right from the start)
Insane you should be put inside
You're a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride
Should be made unemployed
Then make yourself null and void
Make me feel good I feel good

I think we've come to a conclusion on who this song's about (Norman Sheffield).
I doubt I could write such a harsh song without feeling a wave of guilt afterwards, but Freddie was so damn bloody honest with it that I could be encouraged to give it a go, especially since this song is fantastic.
A Night at the Opera is probably my favourite of Queen's albums.
I qualify that as being bi. (since I am, myself, a bisexual)
But, this song was dedicated to their old manager at the time.
They had sold several recods after Sheer Heart Attack was released and they were broke.
Needless to say, Freddie was pissed.
And why is half the song gone/ out of order?
D:
also theres a good cover of this in the album killer queen
"you're tearing me apart"
Anyway, this is an awesome song. Definately a good break up song xD
