| Queen - Under Pressure (Live At Wembley Stadium 1986) |
 |
"Under Pressure" is a 1981 song by Queen and
David Bowie. It marked Queen's first released
collaboration with another recording artist,
and is featured on their 1982 album Hot
Space. The song was a hit at the time,
reaching #1 in the UK singles chart.
The song evolved from a jam session the band
had with Bowie at its studio in Montreux,
Switzerland, therefore it was credited as
co-written by the five musicians. According
to Queen bassist John Deacon (as quoted in a
French magazine in 1984), however, the song's
primary musical songwriter was Freddie
Mercury — though all contributed to the
arrangement. An earlier, embryonic version of
the song without Bowie called "Feel Like" is
widely available in bootleg form.
Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger
Taylor have credited the bass riff to Deacon;
Bowie also said on his website that the
bassline was already written before he became
involved.
Bowie had originally come to the studios in
order to sing backing vocals in another Queen
song, "Cool Cat," which would end up being
edited out since he wasn't satisfied with
them. Once he got there, they jammed for a
while and wrote the song.
Very nice song sung by the great Freddie
Mercury and nicely played by Queen.

Inner city life, inner city pressure
The concrete world is starting to get ya
The city is alive, the city is expanding,
Living in the city can be demanding,
You've pawned everything, everything you own,
Your toothbrush, jar, and a camera phone
You don't know where you're going
You cross the street
You don't know why you did,
You walk back across the street.
Standing in the sitting room, totally skint
And your favorite jersey is covered in lint
You want to sit down, but you sold your chair
So you just stand there
You just stand there
You just stand there

Inner city pressure
Counting coins on the counter of the 7-11,
From a quarter past six 'til a quarter to
seven,
The manager Bevan starts to abuse me
Hey man, I just want some Muesli,
Neon signs, hidden messages,
Questions, answers, fetishes,
You know you're not in high finance,
Considering getting second hand underpants,
Check your mind, how'd it get so bad?
What happened to those other underpants you
had,
Look in your pockets, haven't found a cent
yet,
Landlords on your balls, have you paid your
rent yet?

Inner city pressure
So you think maybe you'll be a prostitute,
Just to pay for your lessons, you're learning
the flute,
The ladies won't pay you very much for this,
Looks like you'll never be a concert
flautist,
You don't measure up to the expectation
When you're unemployed there's no vacation
No one cares, no one sympathizes
You just stay home and play synthesizers.
