"Now I'm Here" lyrics

"Now I'm Here"

Here I stand
Look around, around
Around, around, around
But you won't see me
Now I'm here (now I'm here)
Now I'm there (now I'm there)
I'm just a, just a new man
Yes, you made me live again

A baby I was when you took my hand
And the light of the night burned bright
And the people all stared
Didn't understand
But you knew my name on sight

Whatever came of you and me
America's new bride to be
Ooh, don't worry, baby
I'm safe and sound

Down in the dungeon just Peaches and me
Don't I love her so?
Yeah, she made me live again
Yeah

A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky
Where the beams of your love-light chase
Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain
With the rain running down my face

Your matches still light up the sky
And many a tear lives on in my eye

Down in the city just Hoople and me
Don't I love him so?
Ooh, don't I love him so?

Whatever comes of you and me
I'd love to leave my memory with you

Now I'm here (now I'm here)
Think I'll stay around, around (think I'll stay around, around)
Around, around, around, around (around, around, around, around)
Down in the city just as you and me (down in the city just as you and me)
Don't I love you so

Go, go, go, little queenie!

This song was inspired by a tour in the USA in 1974 where Queen supported the band Mott the Hoople. These lyrics contain a line "Down in the city, just Hoople and me".
"Now I'm Here" was fittingly one of the first songs Brian May recorded after he returned from hospital where he had been recovering from hepatitis for a long time. He even was afraid that the band would replace him, which was not the case, since they, on the contrary, left space for him in the songs they worked on while his was in bed.
This song holds the record as the one that Queen performed live for the longest time: from release in 1974 to their final stadium shows in 1986.
