Queen - Don't Try So Hard Lyrics






If you're searching out for something -
Don't try so hard
If you're feeling kinda nothing -
Don't try so hard
When your problems seem like mountains
You feel the need to find some answers
You can leave them for another day
Don't try so hard
But if you fall and take a tumble -
It won't be far
If you fail you mustn't grumble -
Thank your lucky stars
Just savour every mouthful
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Stay right where you are
Don't try so hard
Oooh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools they make these rules
Don't try so hard
One day you'll be a sergeant major
Oh you'll be so proud
Screaming out your bloody orders
Hey but not too loud
Polish all your shiny buttons
Dressed as lamb instead of mutton
But you never had to try
To stand out from the crowd
Oh what a beautiful world
Is this the life for me
Oh what a beautiful world
It's the simple life for me
Oh don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools - they make these rules
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard

  8. L.... N....

    Innuendo is a really personal album for me as it reminds me of my mum whom I lost in June 2015. Picked Bijou as the intermission song and These Are The Days of Our Lives as the exit music as well as Bohemian Rhapsody as the entrance music.

  9. s.... ....

    I need Freddie sometimes. Been a rough two weeks. I was sad, stressed and overwhelmed and winter is starting.... My instinct was to listen to Queen for this entire night and I feel so much better now. This song is just amazing,. Freddie was an amazing person, and a big part of why I love Queen so much.

  14. A.... K....

    You told us not to try so hard but you tried so hard i guess there's no more need to say it now i love you rest in peace ❣

    [Verse 1]
    If you're searching out for something
    Don't try so hard
    If you're feeling kind of nothing
    Don't try so hard
    When your problems seem like mountains
    You feel the need to find some answers
    You can leave it for another day
    Don't try so hard
    But if you fall and take a tumble
    It won't be far
    If you fail you mustn't grumble
    Thank your lucky stars
    Just savour every mouthful
    And treasure every moment
    When the storms are raging 'round you
    Stay right where you are


    [Chorus]
    Oh, don't try so hard
    Oh, don't take it all to heart
    It's only fools, they make these rules
    Don't try so hard


    [Verse 2]
    One day you'll be a sergeant major
    Oh, you'll be so proud
    Screaming out your bloody orders
    Hey, but not too loud
    Polish all your shiny buttons
    Dress as lamb instead of mutton
    But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd


    [Bridge]
    Oh, what a beautiful world
    This is the life for me
    Oh, what a beautiful world
    It's the simple life for me


    [Chorus]
    Oh, don't try so hard
    Oh, don't take it all to heart
    It's only fools - they make these rules
    Don't try so hard


    [Outro]
    Don't try so hard
    Don't try so hard

  22. d.... c....

  23. A.... ....

    A million is nothing. We go right up to the end.

  24. J.... S....

    Very good

  25. M.... A....

    Freddie le dedicó esta maravillosa canción a Brian cuando ya estaba muy enfermo, y yo me pregunto ¿cómo alguien en su estado puede cantar con una voz tan sublime?

    M.... A....

    Porque era genial, una leyenda, nada le asustaba y nada pudo con él hasta el último momento. Su voz era única y entregaba hasta el alma, por eso todos le admiramos. God save the King of Queen!

    M.... A....

    @Jose Maria Calleja
    Hola de nuevo por estos canales. Gracias por tu respuesta, es cierto, Freddie se entregó hasta el final, así de grande y excepcional era!! Dios le bendiga eternamente!!

    This song is like one of the best queen songs in terms of writting and lyrics, it's so deep and full of meaning, it's true and so haunting, it simply beautiful, when you are in some bad, sad mood, you just listen to this and point out that everything will be ok just be calm and that you dont need to try to stand out from the others to be happy, just be yourself and one thay you'll be happy, incredible Freddie!

  70. s.... A....

    Freddie’s voice got so much thinner as his disease progressed BUT it opened up a whole new world of range & with that combined with the high emotion on Innuendo it makes for a complete masterpiece of both music & emotion from beginning to the end.

    s.... A....

    slaxxxer Aznarder he got his 70s voice back and that is his real voice the light tenor voice Freddie was never baritone as some people say

    s.... A....

    Kostadin Frengov Even the band members acknowledge that his voice got thinner

    s.... A....

    slaxxxer Aznarder yes because he got his 70s voice back
