| Talk like a big business tycoon. You're just a hot air balloon. So noone gives you a damn. Your just an over grown schoolboy let me tan your hide. Dog with disease your the king of the sleeze. Put your money where your mouth is Mr. know all. Was the fin on your back part of the deal? Shark! Death on two legs your tearing me apart. Death on two legs you never had a heart of your own. Right from the start. Insane you should be put inside your a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride. You should be made unemployed make yourself null and void make me feel good. I feel good! There that is the rest of the song from memory. That is how big a Queen fan I am. Great acidic song about former manager. Don't cross Freddie he will write a song about it. | |

| wow if that is a factual interpretation it makes sense. but i always heard it differently. i thought he was talking about aids and homophobes. i can't believe how wrong i was now but 'death on two legs, your tearing me apart' is strong imagery for how one acquires aids, but perhaps i shouldn't explain. i am glad to know the real meaning now | |

| You suck my blood like a leech You break the law and you preach Screw my brain till it hurts You’ve taken all my money And you want more Misguided old mule with your pig headed rules With your narrow minded cronies Who are fools of the first division Death on two legs You’re tearing me apart Death on two legs You’ve never had a heart of your own Kill joy bad guy big talking small fry You’re just an old barrow boy Have you found a new toy to replace me? Can you face me? But now you can kiss my ass goodbye Feel good are you satisfied? Do you feel like suicide? (I think you should) Is your conscience all right Does it plague you at night? Do you feel good feel good? You talk like a big business tycoon You’re just a hot air balloon So no one gives you a damn You’re just an overgrown schoolboy Let me tan your hide A dog with disease You’re the king of the ’sleaze’ Put your money where your mouth is Mister know-all Was the fin on your back Part of the deal? (shark) Death on two legs You’re tearing me apart Death on two legs You’ve never had a heart (you never did) of your own (right from the start) Insane you should be put inside You’re a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride Should be made unemployed Then make yourself null and void Make me feel good I feel good | |

| This song about an ex-manager. let's clear something up too.... Freddie Mercury was a very talented songwriter...regardless of his sexual preference. my opinion on this aspect of his life being discussed is simply this: we should be focusing more on his songwriting ability and musicianship...not who he decided to bed with.... can we all just lay off that? seriously. one last thing. thank you mltm for posting the complete lyrics :) | |

| Well, that's totally right. He took all (well...who knows about that part) of their money, instead of giving it to them! THEN he ran off to America... | |

| Wow. Really, I mean it. This song is so... powerful. You can almost hear how pissed off Freddie sounds when singing it. And the lyrics are truly great, well done Freddie. As I said before, this is an extremely powerful song full of revenge. At least it is to me. | |

| Jimmy Kane has this one right. It's definitely about their old manager. If I'm not mistaken I think he wanted to sue them for this song. | |

| Is the missing half of the text or is it just me? - Ok, I don't know if I'm putting this right but in stead: Vantar hálfan textann eða er það bara ég? Just thinking... | |
