Biography

Best known as lead singer of popular British rock group [a=Queen]. Born 5 September 1946 in Stone Town, Zanzibar, died 24 November 1991 in Kensington, London, UK. Born as Farrokh Pluto Bulsara to Parsi parents Bomi and Jer Bulsara, he attended St. Peter's boarding school near Bombay and formed his first school band ("The Hectics") where he played piano. At age 17 the Bulsara family fled to England during the Zanzibar revolution and Freddie (as he began calling himself) took up studies in art design. He also formed a band called "Ibex" (later renamed to "Wreckage") but they failed to take off. Soon after he joined another band called "Sour Milk Sea" but it also disbanded. In 1970 he met [a=Brian May] and [a=Roger Taylor] who at the time were going under the name [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Smile+(6)]Smile[/url]. Quickly taking full charge, he changed the name to "[a=Queen]", and with his art design education designed the band's logo. It was also around this time that he changed his name to Frederick Mercury by deed poll. As flamboyant a performer he was on stage, Mr. Mercury was equally adept at songwriting; it was his "Bohemian Rhapsody" that propelled the band to superstardom. Between the late 1970's and early 1980's, Freddie took a break from the band to pursue a solo career, spending much time in Munich and New York. In 1987 he was diagnosed with HIV. Despite his illness he still recorded with Queen to finish one last album ("[Link]") and his last recorded song, "Mother Love" (which was to appear on the posthumous "[Link]" album). As the disease took hold, public appearances and subsequent videos revealed a very thin Freddie -- yet he insisted on keeping his illness a secret. On 24 November 1991, he died in his Kensington home, one day after announcing his illness, aged 45.

LYRICS

Time waits for nobody
Time waits for nobody
We almost planned our hopes together
And we'll have no more future at all
Time waits for nobody
We might as well be deaf and dumb and blind
I know that sounds unkind
But it seems to me
We've not listened to
Or spoken about it at all
The fact that time was running out for us all

Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because time
It waits for nobody
Nobody

You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong
You know what's going on
And it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all
It seems like we've all got our backs against the wall

Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to trust one and honor
Or we'd have no more future at all

Because time
Waits for nobody
Waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
Best not to be friends with one another
Or we'd have no more future at all
Time waits for nobody

Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
For no one
