Queen - Pain Is So Close To Pleasure Lyrics






Pain is so close to pleasure.
Sunshine and rainy weather
Go hand in hand together
All your life.

Pain is so close to pleasure.
Everybody knows:
One day we love each other
Then we're fighting one another
All the time.

When I was young and just getting started,
And people talked to me: they sounded broken hearted.
Then I grew up and got my imagination,
And all I wanted was to start a new relation.

So in love, but love had a bad reaction.
I was looking for some good old satisfaction,
But pain is all I got
When all I needed was some love and affection.

Pain is so close to pleasure.
Sunshine and rainy weather
Go hand in hand together
All your life.

Pain and pleasure.
Pain and pleasure.

When your plans go wrong and you turn out the light,
But inside of your mind you put up a fight.

Where are the answers that we're all searching for?
There's nothing in this world to be sure of anymore.
Some days you're feeling good, some days you're feeling bad,
But if you're feeling happy someone else is always sad.

Let the sweetness of love wipe the tears from your face
For better, for worse.
So let's make the best of the rest of our years.

Pain is so close to pleasure.
I told you so.
Sunshine and rainy weather
Go hand in hand together
All your life.

Pain and pleasure.

Pain is so close to pleasure.
Sunshine and rainy weather
Go hand in hand together
All your life.

All your life.
Pain, pleasure.

  5. G.... M....

    Deaky💓

  6. T.... M....

    "Pain Is So Close to Pleasure" would've felt right at home in Hot Space.

  7. h.... a....

    2:20 is my religion

  8. T.... Q....

    Not many male singers can sing a full song in falsetto and get away with it like in this fabulous track. Love it

  9. S.... ....

    They were putting together an album, and they just happened to end up being recruited to produce music for Highlander.

  10. M.... M....

    Cool Cat's younger brother!

  11. M.... V....

    Queen, the best Band of all times!

  12. D.... G....

    I think this one is my favorite, I listen to it since high school and I’m still enjoying it❤️❤️❤️

  13. J.... W....

    Love his falsetto

  14. V.... M....

    Cool cat parte 2

  15. c.... c....

    Another of Queens great songs , underated and never given the air time it deserves . Brilliant baselines from John and that great falsetto voice from Freddie .

  16. A.... M....

    Non passa sera che non ascolti "one year of love " è favoloso questo brano. Grazie JOHN e FREDDIE

  17. H.... Y....

    It's unreal how a piece of music can take you back in time...and you are wondering: was that real or just imagined???

  18. M.... R....

    Esta es una de mis canciones favoritas de Queen sobretodo por el gran bajo que toca John y por la voz de Freddie, es una lastima para mí que no haya sido tan conocida en su momento.

  19. B.... ....

    This is one hell of a KILLER bassline <3

  20. f.... 2....

    So relaxing and amazing song

  21. f.... 2....

    So relaxing and amazing song

  22. A.... 1....

    Blues splendido Freddie

  23. B.... R....

    UNDERRATED

  24. S.... K....

    I honestly for years when as a kid I thought this was Roger singing but realise now it’s actually Freddie. Shows how versatile his voice was
    Love this song and the deep Bass from John of course

  25. M.... V....

    Queen, the best Band of all times!

  26. t.... i....

    This song reminds me so much to my mother and her boyfrienddd

  27. B.... H....

    another underrated song but one of the best <3

  28. o.... ....

    Amazing. To a lot of people his falsetto is reminiscent of Barry Gibb, but listening to this he is clearly channeling The Supremes. Not just Diana Ross, but all of them. And I love that little part that sounds a little reminiscent to Tears for Fears.

  29. a.... s....

    his falsetto remembers me to the bee gees

  30. f.... 2....

    So relaxing song

  31. M.... V....

    This song is very nice!

  32. l.... b....

    Like si eres español

  33. B.... 1....

    Wow, the Freddie's voice is so beauty and relaxing, definitely the best singer ever.

  34. N.... N....

    It sounds like Cool Cat from hot space! I like that!

  35. w.... b....

    Cool cat is to close to pleasure

  36. J.... S....

    A kind of magic really is under appreciated albumI know saying that in a queen song is not original but it really is

  37. Y.... s....

    4:15 that's the perfect photo!

  38. M.... I....

    10000000000 times I've listened to this song and never get tired of... Queen is in my soul.

  39. d.... ....

    underrated

  40. G.... J....

    La mejor canción de queen por mucho

  41. E.... K....

    I've been listening to Queen for my entire life and I'm yet to find a song I don't like. I absolutely love this.

  42. A.... M....

  47. j.... t....

    beautiful song

  48. I.... L....

    I can't get over his smooth falsetto, omfg it's beautiful

  49. h.... a....

    Podrá existir los rolling stone los Beatles LED zepelin..pero Queen tiene esa cosa tan particular tan mágica un vocalista tan carismático con una voz impresionante que ninguna otra banda lo tiene..

  50. A.... W....

    WHAT A Freaking Catchy soNG!!!

  51. J.... M....

    💗💗💗

  52. P.... S....

    Close your eyes and if you never heard of the song before and knew Queen recorded it, you'd swear this was a Motown group. My four musical geniuses...can't get enough of Queen.

  53. V.... ....

    Deaky you are amazing

  54. H.... S....

    This song helps me so much mentally, this is truly my favourite song to listen anywhere.

  55. f.... g....

    Omg Mika has got a voice like freddie!!❤

    f.... g....

    Mika is a huge fan of Freddie...;)

  56. H.... H....

    Has a Diana Ross vibe

  57. -.... O....

    Fire bass line, this shit actually hurts

  58. E.... B....

    Tis song is soo relaxingg

  59. M.... G....

    Freddie is phenomenal but gotta absolutely give credit to John Deacon as well for this song. So much talent!!

  60. M.... G....

    Love this song and was not expecting the falsetto voice of Freddie. This just shows again how versatile he was. Freddie was (and still is) unmatched when it came to his vocal abilities. IMO. :) I read a comment from someone yesterday saying Freddie didn't have the same level of voice strength as he did in the 70's. WRONG! I pointed her to many performances of his in the 80's especially the concerts in at Wembley and in Budapest and this is another one i can send her. :)

  61. M.... W....

    What an amazing song!!! First I heard this song, I was not sure that was Freddie singing.
    His voice is soooo sweet.

  62. Z.... R....

    disco deaky really snuck his way into this one

  63. N.... I....

    Wait a minute who wrote get down make love song 🤔🤷‍♀️

    N.... I....

    Ikr 😂

  64. G.... K....

    I find it quite sweet that John Deacon wrote this with Freddie Mercury, like they had a nice friendship before Freddie died.

    G.... K....

    This was a good few years before he died.

    G.... K....

    Apparently, John and Freddie were very close offstage. That’s a key part of why John decided to stop playing.

    G.... K....

    @ShreadTheWeapon Freddie's death *really* hit John hard.

  65. T.... M....

    PENA QUE A MAIORIA DAS MUSICAS DESSE ALBUM NÃO SAIRAM EM VERSÃO AO VIVO, APENAS ONE VISION, A KIND OF MAGIC E WHO WANTS TO LIFE FOREVER,DA PRA ENTENDER NA ÉPOCA QUE A PRESSA ERA PARA FAZER MUSICAS E SELECIONAR AS MELHORES PARA ALGUNS ÚLTIMOS SHOWS JA QUE FREED SABIA QUE O FIM ESTAVA PRÓXIMO, SEI QUE O QUEEN TEM MUITO MATERIAL MAS PARECE QUE A SENSAÇÃO É QUE PODERIA TER MUITO MAIS MATERIAL INCLUSIVE AO VIVO JA QUE QUASE 100% DO MATERIAL DO QUEEN ERA MUITO BOM

  66. Y.... S....

    I’m in love with Freddie’s voice.

  67. S.... K....

    Freddie's falsetto 💙

  68. E.... R....

    Deacury 💛

  69. E.... O....

    What an album

  70. A.... M....

    best band ever

  71. s.... t....

    *MR DEACON DOES IT AGAIN*

    s.... t....

    Freddie Mercury*

  72. C.... T....

    I LOVE YOY!! FREDDIE!!!!!

  73. G.... ....

    Freddie x live long and prosper

  74. G.... ....

    A greatvguy knew he was dying freddie bless ya

  75. M.... ....

    Brian May is a Rock god. His riffs in this song are magical!

  76. T.... W....

    This song's great. It's almost like listening to a Diana Ross song

  77. E.... L....

    Queen have incrible sons, perhaps this is not one of this. Do you remember Body Language ? In my opinion the worst Queen songs...Pain is so Close to Pleasure is next to.....

    E.... L....

    They are both amazing to me

    E.... L....

    It's good that people don't always have the same opinion but, WHAT?

  78. b.... s....

    Extraordinaria canción. Freddie cantando en un asombroso falsetto, roger en su batería metiendole un toque eléctrico a la canción, brian con un excelente solo de guitarra al final y Deacon... bueno pues aqui muestra su tremenda habilidad para tocar el bajo eléctrico y llevando todo el ritmo de la canción

  79. J.... R....

    It sounds like one of those 80's songs I would hear late at night in the grocery store.

  80. M.... M....

    La mejor voz de todos los tiempos chingao....

  81. M.... G....

    While listening to this song I cannot think in another thing than he was singing this because he had sex for the asshole u know?

    M.... G....

    I think deaky wrote this

  82. Z.... M....

    pain - pleasure

  83. R.... ....

    1:55 makes me nut everytime lololol this is a joke

  84. H.... H....

    A bloody banger

  85. K.... ....

    Es increible!!

  86. O.... H....

    in luv w this song

  87. I.... Q....

    One of the most relaxing Queen songs

  88. A.... ....

    I feel that it could be a good wedding song, to make acoustic version and play it and sing it with a person whom love as some weird but honest marriage vow

  89. c.... c....

    This song , cool cat , man on the prowl are so underated .

  90. R.... F....

    That voice....damn

  91. D.... 1....

    this and Cool Cat are the most R´n b´Queen songs

  92. l.... s....

    Pregunto, no hay ni un video de Freddie cantando esta cancion? Si es asi porque no hacen uno con dibujos animados del grupo Queen? Espero que ahora con la pelicula se animen hacer munecos del grupo como hicieron de Elvis, Michael Jackson, J Lo, Marilyn Monroe etc tamano 12" para sus fans los colecciones.

  93. B.... K....

    Amazing <3

  94. A.... F....

    Incrível essa música tudo perfeito voz , baixo guitarra e bateria até a segunda voz ficou ótima nessa música eu dedico esse comentário para my fryend Sandra Regina.

  95. s.... p....

    Que vocal brilhante!!! A Rainha ainda vive!!!
