Dossier "A kind of magic"

j'ouvre une série de dossiers consacrés aux différent albums de Queen, et a tout seigneurs tout honneurs, c'est l'ambum éponyme au forum qui ouvre le bal. Dans un premier temps je vais mettre les paroles, suivrons des traductions, des commentaires, des images de pochettes, etc...
Vous pouvez bien sûr complèter au fur et à mesure cette base de donnée

voilà les paroles:

A Kind Of Magic

It's a kind of magic,
It's a kind of magic,
A kind of magic,
One dream, one soul, one prize,
One goal, one golden glance of what should be,
It's a kind of magic,
One shaft of light that shows the way,
No mortal man can win this day,
It's a mind of magic,
The bell that rings inside your mind,
It's a challenging the doors of time,
It's a kind of magic,
The waiting seems eternity,
The day will dawn of sanity,
It's a kind of magic,
There can be only one,
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone,
This flame that burns inside of me,
I'm hearing secret harmonies
It's a kind of magic,
The bell that rings inside your mind,
Is challenging the doors of time,
It's a kind of magic,
It's a kind of magic,
This rage that lasts a thousand years,
Will soon be will soon be,
Will soon be gone,
This is a kind of magic,
Tere can only be one,
This life that lasts a thousand years,
Will soon be gone,
Magic - it's a kind of magic,
It's a kind of magic,
Magic, magic, magic, magic,
It's magic,
It's a kind of magic.

Friends will be friends

Another red letter day,
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating,
The other half ran away,
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber,
Got a pain in the chest,
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest.
It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust,
Friends will be friends,
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention,
Friends will be friends,
When you're through with life and all hope is lost,
Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends right till the end.
Now it's a beautiful day,
The postman delivered a letter from your lover,
Only a phone call away,
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number,
As a matter of fact,
You're getting used to life without him in your way.
It's so easy now, cos you got friends you can trust,
Friends will be friends,
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention,
Friends will be friends,
When you're through with life and all hope is lost,
Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends right till the end.
It's so easy now, cos you got friends you can trust,
Friends will be friends,
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention,
Friends will be friends,
When you're through with life and all hope is lost,
Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends right till the end.
Friends will be friends,
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention,
Friends will be friends,
When you're through with life and all hope is lost,
Hold out your hand cos right till the end -
Friends will be friends.

Pain is so close to pleasure

Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure, oh yeah,
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life,
Ooh, Ooh, pain is so close to pleasure everbody knows,
One day we love each other then we're fighting one another all the time,
When I was young and just getting started,
And people talked to me they sounded broken hearted,
Then I grew up and got my imagination
And all I wanted was to start a new releation,
So in love but love had a bad reaction,
I was looking for good old satisfaction,
But pain is all I got when all I needed was some love and affection,
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure, yeah, yeah,
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life,
Pain and pleasure, Ooh, Ooh, pain and pleasure,
When your plans go wrong and you turn out the light,
But inside your mind you have to put up a fight,
Where are the answers that we're all searching for,
There's nothing in this world to be sure of anymore,
But if you're feeling happy someone else is always sad,
Let the sweetness on love wipe the tears from your facem
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure, I told you so,
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life,
Pain is so close to pleasure, yeah, yeah,
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life,
All your life,
Pain - pleasure.

One year of love


Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone,
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart,
It's always a rainy day without you,
I'm a prisoner of love inside you -
I'm falling apart all around you - yeah.
My heart cries out to your heart,
I'm lonely but you can save me,
My hand reaches out for your hand,
I'm cold but you light the fire in me,
My lips search for your lips,
I'm hungry for your touch,
There's so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
To the moment just surrender
And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much,
Oooh yes it hurtsm
And pain is so close to pleasure,
And all I can do is surrender to your love,
Just surrender to your love,
Just one year of love,
Is better that a lifetime alone,
One sentimental moment in your arms,
Is like a shooting star right through my heart,
It's always a rainy day without you,
I'm a prisoner of love inside you -
I'm falling apart all around you - yeah.
And all I can do is surrender

one vision

One man one goal one mission,
One heart one soul just one solution,
One flash of light yeah one god one vision.
One flesh one bone,
one true religion,
One voice one hope,
Wowowowo gimme one vision.
No wrong no right,
I'm gonna tell you there's no black and no white,
No blood no stain,
All we need is one world wide vision.
One flesh one bone,
one true religion,
One voice one hope,
One real decision,
Wowowowo gimme one vision.
I had a dream,
When I was young,
A dream of sweet illusion,
A glimpse of hope and unity,
And visions of one sweet union,
But a cold wind blows,
And a dark rain falls,
And in my heart it shows,
Look what they've done to my dream.
So give me your hands,
Give me your hearts,
I'm ready,
There's only one direction,
One world one nation,
Yeah one vision.
No hate no fight,
Just excitation,
All through the night,
It's a celebration wowowowo yeah.
One flesh one bone,
one true religion,
One voice one hope,
One real decision.
Gimme one night,
Gimme ione hope,
One man one man,
One bar one night,
One day hey hey,
Just gimme gimme gimme
One vision.

Who want's to live forever

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams
Yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever.....?
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever.....?
Who dares to love forever
When love must die?
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?

Les pochettes du single A kind of magic

A) la version française avec Christophe Lambert



b) la version anglaise



c) la version Allemande



d) le picture disque


e) le cd single anglais de 88

Tiens pourtant la chanson akom n'est pas dans le film il me semble

On entend princes, bien sur, WWTLF, Gimme the prize, vagument don't lose your head et one year of love dans le bar...

si il me s'emble bien qu'elle y est, soit à la fin soit au début du film mais en version différente de l'album

m'en rapelle po! fuadra que jrevoi ca

Elle y est à la fin du film, c'est le générique.

Mais dans une version beaucoup plus sombre que celle sortie en studio.

jamais regardé le générique de fin, c'est pour ca aussi

Wahhhhhhhh j'ai le 45 tours francais!!!

oui elle est assez courante en France mais déjà beaucoup plus rare en Belgique par exemple.

vous êtes pas a plaindre, maintenant vous aussi vous avez Johnny!

Je me permets de rajouter ce que dit Kurgan dans "Gimme The Prize"
'
Now you die'

'I have something to say, it's better to burn out than to fade away...
There can be only one ! Uuuuuuuurrrrrggghhhh!!!'

Et freddie qui chante "New york, New york". Je crois que ça pas été réalisé en single.
De plus avez vous remarqué qu'à la fin de "One Vision", freddie termine en disant : "Frite Chicken" ou un truc de la sorte !

Fried Chicken. Freddie a expliqué (je l'ai lu) que c'était un délire et que phonétiquement, ça sonnait bien, alors le "Fried Chicken" a été retenu.

ben il avait faim, point barre

De plus pendant l'intro de Kind of Magic on entend en arrière plan : "Please no voice".

Pas fait gaffe je réécoute.

si juste avant le début du chant, mais j'avais jamais capté qu'il disait ça

Je comprends un vieux truc. Alors c'est no Voices ? Juste avant de chanter ? pas logique ça...

peut être pendant qu'ils enregistrait l'instru, je sais pas, c'est un son bakcground de studio...

Ou une fantaisie made by Freddie, comme le Fried Chicken

fried chicken, ca vient je crois, dun délire ou il a déformé toute la fin de one vision, il aurait même sorti : gimme gimme john deacon

lol c'est bien Freddie ça. Et John lui a répondu Gimme The Prize.

voici la version juste pour le fun de One Vision, il faut savoir aussi que si ils se moquent de John c'est que celui ci n'était pas présent mais en vacance pour l'enregistrement.


One man, one goal, one true religion
One dump, one turd to fit John Deacon
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Chicken feed baby

One heart, one soul, one sex position
One flash, one light
One God, that one religion
One shrimp, one prawn, one clam, one chicken
Brian: Sorry, censored
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah
One man, one goal, one v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-vision

Excellent ! T'as eu ça où ?

sur le net non sérieu c'est une version qui existe officiellement tu peux la voir sur le making of the one vision

Mais il faut le DVD pour ça. Introuvable ici comme d'habitude. C'est frustrant...

tu peux pas commander par internet dans ton ile à la con

nan, sérieux ? ? ? ? (pour une fois)

Les livreurs type DHL ne livrent plus les DOM-TOM. Et UPS, Chronopost, c'est trop cher. Sérieux, avec les droits de douane, payer 50 € pour un truc qui en vaut 25, non merci...

merde alors, c'est chiant, je te plains

Ouais, ça freine beaucoup de gens ici... J'attends d'être en France pendant les vacances pour faire mon marché, c'est moins coûteux.

ouais! enfin c'est quand même pas donné!

Je préfère ça à 50 Euros ! Franchement l'achat par internet dans les Dom-Tom c'est pas A Kind Of Magic (pour rester dans le sujet)
