  • Recorded at Musicland Studios, Munich, 6 July 1984, during sessions for Mr. Bad Guy. Not New York, New York, but a different, self-penned ode to that city. This was the last song that Freddie recorded before meeting up with the band for the Queen Works! tour rehearsals. He would return to sessions for his solo album again in December 1984.

Lyrics

One, two, three, four, one

I didn't get no sleep last night
Had a drink and I got uptight
I fell over

When the sun comes in inside
When the tide comes in I'm alive
I'm all over
So move over

Here I come New York
New York, you're gaining on me
New York, you're just that one step far away
But I'm here to stay

New York, you're (stop) gaining on me
New York, you're just that one step far away
But I'm here to stay
You can't catch me New York
