"All Dead, All Dead" lyrics

"All Dead, All Dead"

She came without a farthing
A babe without a name
So much ado 'bout nothing
Is what she'd try to say

So much ado my lover
So many games we played
Through every fleeted summer
Through every precious day

All dead, all dead
All the dreams we had
And I wonder why I still live on
All dead, all dead
And alone I'm spared
My sweeter half instead
All dead and gone
All dead

All dead, all dead
At the rainbow's end
And still I hear her own sweet song
All dead, all dead
Take me back again
You know my little friend's
All dead and gone

Her ways are always with me
I wander all the while
But please you must forgive me
I am old but still a child

All dead, all dead
But I should not grieve
In time it comes to everyone
All dead, all dead
But in hope I breathe
Of course I don't believe
You're dead and gone
All dead and gone

This song was partially inspired by the loss of Brian May's childhood cat Pixie. He confirmed it in an episode of "In the Studio with Redbeard".
Queen released a special "hybrid" version of this track to celebrate the album's 40th anniversary on the 27th of October of 2017. It features previously unheard lead vocals by Freddie Mercury. The accompanied video shows a cat exploring the robot of the album cover. This version was a tribute to Brian May's original inspiration for the song and to Mercury, who was a cat lover.
