Now I'm Here Lyrics
Here I stand (here I stand..)
Look around around around around
(Around around around around..)
But you won't see me (you won't see me..)
Now I'm here (now I'm here..)
Now I'm there (now I'm there..)
I'm just a just a new man
Yes you made me live again
A baby I was when you took my hand
And the light of the night burned bright
And the people all stared didn't understand
But you knew my name on sight
Whatever came of you and me?
America's new bride to be
Don't worry baby I'm safe and sound
Down in the dungeon just Peaches and me
Don't I love her so?
Yes she made me live again Yeah!
A thin moon me in the smoke screen sky
Where the beams of your love light chase
Don't move don't speak don't feel no pain
With the rain running down my face
Your matches still light up the sky
And many a tear lives on in my eye
Down in the city just Hoople and me
Don't I love him so don't I love him so?
Whatever comes of you and me
I love to leave my memories with you
Now I'm here (now I'm here.)
Think I'll stay around around around
(Around around around around..)
Down in the city just you and me
(Down in the city just you and me..)
Don't I love you so?
Go Go Go Little Queenie
Look around around around around
(Around around around around..)
But you won't see me (you won't see me..)
Now I'm here (now I'm here..)
Now I'm there (now I'm there..)
I'm just a just a new man
Yes you made me live again
And the light of the night burned bright
And the people all stared didn't understand
But you knew my name on sight
Whatever came of you and me?
America's new bride to be
Don't worry baby I'm safe and sound
Down in the dungeon just Peaches and me
Don't I love her so?
Yes she made me live again Yeah!
Where the beams of your love light chase
Don't move don't speak don't feel no pain
With the rain running down my face
Your matches still light up the sky
And many a tear lives on in my eye
Down in the city just Hoople and me
Don't I love him so don't I love him so?
I love to leave my memories with you
Think I'll stay around around around
(Around around around around..)
Down in the city just you and me
(Down in the city just you and me..)

Brian May has unraveled the song many times before. The song is about his experiences during their first visit to the US when they were supporting Mott The Hoople. He apparently met a girl named "Peaches" at a club called Dungeon. You can find the story on Brian May's website (if it's still online)
i always thought 'peaches' referred to princess peaches in mario, who was always kidnapped and trapped in the dungeons with bowser
It's actually Princess Peach, and she was not introduced until 1985, and this album was released in 1974.

Peaches is the elegant and captivating Debra Vidacovich, wife of famous jazz drummer Johnny Vidacovich. The Dungeon is a rock and roll bar on Toulouse St, near Bourbon Street, in New Orleans, Louisiana. In the 70's, it was a private key club that attracted everyone from Led Zeppelin to rowdy bikers.
These lyrics are just plain WEIRD
Also who are 'Peaches' and 'Hoople'? I might just be ignorant but I dunno.
Listening to this after "Lilly of the Valley", it makes perfect sense. "Now I'm Here" is their progression to more hardcore rock and a departure from the fantasy stuff from their earlier albums. "Stone Cold Crazy" comes right after this.
The truth about Peaches
Excuse me. It's Deborah, not Debra. My bad.
I like it. :) You feel a man transformed.
Peaches was a record store in the 80s. His hairdresser wore a T-shirt depicting the logo ‘Peaches Records and Tapes’ across the front. Freddy would make up nicknames off the top of his head for people. Maybe in his quick writing of the song he referenced his hairdressers shirt and the many times backstage he would do his hair.
@Cinbar autocorrected. Should read ‘Freddie.’ And I meant to write ‘in Brian’s writing of the song...’ yeesh! you’d think they’d allow an edit feature.
