The Miracle - o tema mais ecológico dos Queen

Every drop of rain that falls
In Sahara Desert says it all
It's a miracle
All God's creations great and small
The Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal
That's a miracle
Test tube babies being born
Mothers, fathers dead and gone
It's a miracle

We're having a miracle on earth
Mother Nature does it all for us
The wonders of this world go on
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Captain Cook and Cain and Abel
Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel
It's a miracle

The one thing we're all waiting for
Is peace on earth, an end to war
It's a miracle we need, the miracle
The miracle we're all waiting for today

If every leaf on every tree
Could tell a story that would be a miracle
If every child on every street
Had clothes to wear and food to eat
That's a miracle
If all God's people could be free
To live in perfect harmony
It's a miracle

We're having a miracle on earth
Mother Nature does it all for us
Open hearts and surgery (Wonders of this world go on)
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling
It's a miracle

The one thing (the one thing)
We're all waiting for (we're all waiting for)
Is peace on earth (peace on earth)
And an end to war (an end to war)
It's a miracle we need, the miracle
The miracle
Peace on earth and end to war today

That time will come one day you'll see
When we can all be friends

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

The official video for Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie, featuring footage from the Ziggy Stardust tour shot in the UK during 1972 and 1973. Filmed by late Bowie collaborator, photographer Mick Rock, the footage features the album version of Ziggy Stardust as its soundtrack. 
Ziggy Stardust features on Rock 'n' Roll Star!, the 5CD/1 Blu-Ray audio set exploring David Bowie's journey from February 1971 through the creation of the Ziggy Stardust character, the recording of the iconic 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars' album, and captures the international mania that surrounded the Ziggy phenomenon in the form of UK radio sessions and TV performances, as well as live tracks from Ziggy and the Spiders’ 1st October 1972 show at the Boston Music Hall.
Tudo sobre a canção e seu significado aqui, aqui e aqui
[Intro]Oh yeah
[Verse 1]Now Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and GillyAnd the Spiders From MarsHe played it left hand, but made it too farBecame the special man, then we were Ziggy's band
[Verse 2]Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdoLike some cat from JapanHe could lick 'em by smiling, he could leave 'em to hangHe came on so loaded, man, well-hung and snow-white tan
[Chorus 1]So where were the spidersWhile the fly tried to break our balls?Just the beer light to guide usSo we bitched about his fansAnd should we crush his sweet hands?Oh yeah
[Verse 3]Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodooThe kids were just crass, he was the nazzWith God-given ass, he took it all too farBut boy, could he play guitarSee upcoming rock shows

[Chorus 2]

Making love with his ego

Ziggy sucked up into his mind (ah)

Like a leper messiah

When the kids had killed the man

I had to break up the band

[Bridge]

Oh yeah

Ooh

[Outro]

Ziggy played guitar
