In my defence Lyrics

In my defence what is there to say
All the mistakes we made must be faced today
It's not easy now knowing where to start
While the world we love tears itself apart

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between, with a fading dream

In my defence what is there to say
We destroy the love, it's our way
We never listen enough, never face the truth
Then like a passing song, love is here and then it's gone

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between, with a fading dream

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
I'm just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between, with a fading dream
Caught in between, with a fading dream
Caught in between, with a fading dream

Oh what on earth, oh what on earth
How do I try, do we live or die
Oh help me God, please help me

I love this song. Its beautifull. I think it's about the mistakes that people make. And that;s it's hard to look back at those mistakes. But you can't right your mistakes

"Just a singer" ... c'mon Freddie, you were the best rock singer of all time!

I think he really was a quiet and humble individual though, when not in rock star-mode.

My Opinion

An absolutely gorgeous song. My favourite Freddie Mercury solo song along with The Golden Boy and Goin' Back. It's filled with so much passion.

I think this song is about mistakes you did in the past. Its about never lose yourself and never give up your dreams.

If i'm not mistaken, the lyrics were not written by Freddie, but by Dave Clark. Included in the musical Time, it was meant for Cliff Richard, but during the recording of the song Time, Clark was pleased with Freddies vocals and decided to let him sing this song as well.

Great song by the way.
