All Dead, All Dead Lyrics

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 ev'ry fleeted summer
Through ev'ry precious day

All dead all dead
All the dreams...

    People saying Brian wrote this about his childhood cat are spot on.

    Cats of the world, rejoice!, for no other band has recognized your unique qualities like Queen has.

    This is after the rape of Nanking. He is singing about how all his friends and people he knew are dead. He is still young and is still taking all of it in.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
