This song was writtn in 1989, a time when freddie knew he had AIDS. Even though he had the illness, this didnt stop him recording some of the best music ever. And by this time there was alot of press covarage on queen, alot of it bad. This song was written about how bad the press and the news can damage someones life and the effect it has on them and their family. This is represented in lines such as
Here come the bad news, open the floodgates
They'll leave us bleeding, we say you cheapskates
Over and over and over again
It's a very seriouse , dark and dramatic song about the life inside the world of fame. It's not the sort of queen song you would play in a party but a queen song you could listen and respect what their saying in the lyrics.
