Blurb:
"Innuendo" is a song by English rock band Queen. It is the opening track on the album of the same name. The song was mainly written by Freddie Mercury with contributions from Roger Taylor on lyrics. It is one of Queen's longer songs at six and a half minutes. The song went to #1 in the UK.
The song itself is influenced by Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir". Also featured is a flamenco guitar solo performed by Yes guitarist Steve Howe.
The song and parts of "Kashmir" and "Thank You" (another Led Zeppelin song) were performed by Robert Plant with the three surviving members of Queen (May, Taylor and Deacon) at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992 at Wembley Stadium. However, the song was left off the Freddie Mercury Tribute DVD release at Plant's request, because he could not remember the lyrics and consequently didn't sing the song correctly.
The 12" Explosive Version of this song features a noise similar to an atomic bomb after Freddie says "until the end of time" as if the world ends right after he says it.

Scroll and Sing:
While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow
Till the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
Tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin' yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, colour or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
We'll tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin'
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Through the sorrow all through our splendour
Don't take offence at my innuendo
----INSTRUMENTAL----
You can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
Be free with your tempo, be free be free
Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself
----INSTRUMENTAL----
Oooh, ooh -
If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
Oh yes we'll keep on trying
Hey tread that fine line
Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah
And whatever will be - will be
We'll just keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
