Queen - Son And Daughter Lyrics






Tried to be your son and daughter rolled into one
You said you'd equal any man for having your fun
Now didn't you feel surprise to find
The cap just didn't fit?
The world expects a man
To buckle down and to shovel shit

What'll you do for loving
When its only just begun?
I want you to be a woman

Tried to be a teacher and a fisher of men
An equal
Will you lead us all the same?
Well I travelled around the world
To find a brand new word for day
Watching the time mustn't linger behind
Pardon me I have to get away
What'll you think of heaven
If it's back from where you came?
I want you to be a woman

    This song reminds me black sabbath

  10. R.... B....

    Yiet'chaa

  11. A.... ....

    Is this Freddie singing? I can hear roger singing in the chorus but the main singer sounds so different if I had heard this song without any context I wouldn’t think it would be queen but either way I LOVE THIS SONG

  12. C.... B....

    no difference with led zeppelin ...

  13. M.... ....

    Great riff!!

  14. s.... /....

    Deacy’s bass in this is amazing!

    Heavy metal sound with a message - I would expect nothing less from the brilliant Brian May! 💜👑🙏🏻💫

  22. Q.... 1....

    1. This is insanely underrated
    2. This reminds me so much of Black Sabbath

  23. K.... D....

    The fact that this was from their 1st Album shows how iconic they were! This is such an underrated song

  24. e.... l....

    👍👍👍👍

    queen: I want you to be a woman

  27. D.... M....

    Why is this so underrated
    I'm angry

  28. W.... J....

    Son and Daughter’s guitar solo live was kind of like a predecessor to Brighton Rock’s solo. Sure, they’re practically the same licks but there are a few differences. The history of Son and Daughter can be traced back to December 1969 when Brian began writing the song. He finished it sometime in February or March 1970. Just before Queen formed on 5 April 1970. Nobody believed Brian when he said he wrote the song because it had the word ‘shit’ in it. Rumours say that Queen did perform this song at their first gig in Cornwall. There is no recording to confirm this though. I think Mike Grose (R.I.P) said it was performed live. It was a long time ago. Anyway, the main Brighton Rock was worked on (writing wise) from July to September 1973. The solo was written way back in the January 1970. Well the main riff in the solo. I do not know about the rest. I think they just evolved over time through improvisations. know, Dudu dun dun dudu dun dun dun.

  29. T.... v....

    Not funny, didn't laugh

  30. M.... V....

    Queen could have easily been a metal band.

  31. n.... m....

    what the fuck this song is HOT.

  32. 4.... E....

    great album
    please check out Music DVD Collection Part 1 including Queen

  33. V.... R....

    I want you woman
    Tried to be a son and daughter rolled into one
    You said you'd equal any man for having your fun
    Ooh, now didn't you feel surprised to find
    The cap just didn't fit ?
    The world expects a man
    To buckle down and shovel shit
    What'll you do for loving
    When it's only just begun ?
    I want you to be a woman

    Tried to be a teacher and a fisher of men
    An equal people preacher
    Will you lead us all the same ?
    Ooh, well I travelled around the world
    And found a brand new word for day
    Ooh, watching the time mustn't linger behind
    Pardon me I have to get away
    What'll you think of heaven
    If it's back from where you came
    I want you to be a woman
    I want you to be a woman
    Yeah
    Gotta save the world
    Ooh, I've just begun
    Alright

  34. P.... G....

    I love the lyrics to this one. Written by Brian, but makes me think of the Freddie experience, maybe the human experience?

  35. g.... g....

    2:12 are really heavy lyrics

  36. �.... ....

    これはライブの方が好きだ💕

  37. I.... a....

    How tf does pewdiepie have more views than this ....I swear

  38. I.... a....

    The guitar sound like something from black Sabbath

  39. B.... H....

    A song that makes your hair stand on end

  40. I.... J....

    Daltrey, Plant, Macca, Ozzy, Jagger, Bowie, Lennox, Holder, all respected and admired Freddie, and I suspect were jealous a bit of his phenomenal talent.

    I.... J....

    Every Queen band member has a phenomenal talent, not just Freddie.

  41. �.... ....

    俺はおまえに
     女になってもらいたいんだ

     息子と娘の両方を演じようとしたおまえ
     楽しむためなら
     どんな男でもいいといっていたが
     その表題がどうもうまく合わなくて
     内心驚いているんだろう
     町をファックして
     糞をシャベルで拾うような
     男らしい男を
     世界は求めているのさ
     おまえは知り合ったばかりの俺を
     どんなふうに愛するんだい?

     俺はおまえに
     女になってもらいたいんだ

     教師か福音伝道者に
     なりたがっていたおまえ
     罪深い魂が必要なら
     宣教師にでもなればいい
     俺は世界中を旅してきて
     最近 巨額な富を手に入れたばかり
     時というものを眺めて
     決心したのさ
     だけど 俺は行かなきゃならない

     天国なんて
     おまえが元いた場所にあるのに
     一体どこにあると思っているんだい?

     俺はおまえに
     女になってもらいたいんだ

     俺はお前に
     女になってもらいたいんだ

    自分用です!

  43. R.... C....

    Queen😍

  44. N.... M....

    Easily their most underrated straight rock n roll song

  45. �.... �....

    Oh boy, oh boy, I'm kinda intimidated

  46. 1.... ....

    I don't think Brian May got the credit he deserved as a guitar god.

    1.... ....

    Brian was always a guitarist I liked and admired but until recently took for granted, especially realizing how he impacted me as a musician. I didn’t realize that, though I wasn’t a Queen fan in the 90s, Brian’s chops were still as important for me as many others I was hearing back then.

    1.... ....

    neither does jack mcewan

    1.... ....

    @MariaD Gonzalez Fuck you very much! You are ignorant! Everyone knows Brian!

    1.... ....

    He will certainly go to rock gods olympus when he die!

    1.... ....

    Autumn Breeze mother love, white Queen, who wants to live forever, save me and all the songs he written 😂

  47. B.... H....

    pero que perfección!!

  48. L.... L....

    Does this means he has a son that he wants him to be a woman

  49. s.... t....

    The BBC version is much better.

  50. A.... R....

    So sludgy! Definitely a Black Sabbath vibe. Great stuff.

  51. I.... A....

    Rage Against the machine

  52. B.... o....

    I've always loved the shit out of this song, but on this trip, Corrosion of Conformity brought me back.

  53. N.... ....

    only 3 songs to hear all the songs of Queen

    N.... ....

    You are completely deluded

  54. T.... B....

    Absolutely dirty riff love it

  55. I.... W....

    "What will you think of heaven if it's back from where you came".... genius.

  56. J.... ....

    apoco no sintieron a Black Sabbath xdxdxd

  57. L.... R....

    Wow I didnt know Queen do sludge and stoner thing....Axl Rose is right..Queen is GOAT.They can do any genre without trying it hard...Disco,Pop,Hard Rock,Ballad,Speed,Jazz (the album)lol ,Operatic,Arabian/Indian,Power Metal and even Bicycle song.

    L.... R....

    Lorenz Reyes they did actual jazz too!

  58. G.... Z....

    Hendrix Style💪

  59. s.... ....

    Stoner Rock ???😱

  60. V.... H....

    This song makes me incredibly horny I don't fucking know why

  61. H.... W....

    Sounds lile sabbath

  62. F.... ....

    Kinda sounds like led Zeppelin

    F.... ....

    More like Black Sabbath Iron man

    F.... ....

    Queen is good, but they're out of Zeppelin league

    F.... ....

    @Daniel Benitez You can fuck right off! They are every bit as good as fucking Zeppelin!

    F.... ....

    @Daniel Benitez boo!

  63. S.... P....

    RATING ALL OF THE PHOTOS IN THIS OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO:

    (Note: This is all just my own opinion and i'm not a professional photographer i just don't know what to do with my time.)

    *0:13* Very nice - This is like the 3rd time they didn't show the whole cover so i have no choice other than to just review what's shown. They both look really handsome and i like what they're wearing, they also don't have any weird expressions on their face which is always refreshing, I like the purple-reddish color of the picture and it's a great looking cover of their first single!
    *0:31* Fine - Could be better, Freddie's face got a bad case of rolling shutter, but Brian looks alright, would like to point out that Brian's mouth is open a little bit too much in this shot.
    *0:46* Funny - I love how Freddie and Brian are dressed for a completely different climate, now tell me, which one of you read the weather report wrong in the newspaper that day? :D
    *1:21* Stunning - Red Special is striking in this shot and i like Brian's long scarf, it's hot.
    *2:39* Pretty - Roger's sky-blue eyes are ideally visible in this photograph, and everyone is looking quite normally, well expect Brian, his expression appears deadpan to me and he has his hand placed on..i have no fucking idea..decoration? Well anyway, the scenery is nice, beautiful even and i think this picture is great.
    *3:00* Excellent - My brain almost constantly tricks me into thinking the peghead is Freddie's leg sticking up, but either way, it looks really great, no wonder this picture is the cover of their first album!
    *3:19* Good looking - I don't have much to add other than that Freddie's Adam's apple is really apparent in this photo....just putting it out there.

    Okay, this is the end of my rant, i'm glad you took the time to read this and have a good day/night.

    S.... P....

    I will keep this one, because -it has got many likes- it's my favorite.

  82. j.... z....

    Tried to be your son and daughter rolled into one
    You said you'd equal any man for having your fun
    Now didn't you feel surprise to find
    The cap just didn't fit?
    The world expects a man
    To buckle down and to shovel shit

    What'll you do for loving
    When its only just begun?
    I want you to be a woman

    Tried to be a teacher and a fisher of men
    An equal
    Will you lead us all the same?
    Well I travelled around the world
    To find a brand new word for day
    Watching the time mustn't linger behind
    Pardon me I have to get away
    What'll you think of heaven
    If it's back from where you came?
    I want you to be a woman
