Brian Talks

Brian May, 1983, Guitar Player

"Star Fleet" was done on the first day. I thought it was the most adventurous and ambitious thing to try. We were very up and full of nervous tension. I think you can tell by the way we played. We all didn't know each other, and it was very electric. Everyone looked at each other and was wondering what the hell was going to happen next - very funny. I went home totally exhausted with a splitting headache, but very happy.

Lyrics

Send a message out across the sky
Alien raiders just past Gemini
Who will come and save us now?
Who can defend us from the power?

Star Fleet, Star Fleet
Star Fleet, Star Fleet

Tell the people back at Earth control
Send Star Fleet legions to save our souls
Always daring and courageous
Oooh, only they can save us

Star Fleet, Star Fleet
Star Fleet, Star Fleet
Star Fleet

Star Fleet, Star Fleet, Star Fleet, Star Fleet

Send a message back to Earth control
Send Star Fleet legions to save our souls
Always daring and courageous
Only you, only you can save us

Star Fleet, Star Fleet
Star Fleet, Star Fleet
Star Fleet
