Sheer Heart Attack

Words and music by Roger Taylor

Roger: bass and rhythm guitars

Roger originally started work on a song of this name during the sessions for the "Sheer Heart Attack" album, but was unable to finish the song. The name was good enough to use for the album, but a song with this name wasn't completed until three years later. It is not known whether there is any relationship between the original prototype song and the final released song except the name. Musically, they could have been very similar or very different - only Roger knows for sure.


Well you're just seventeen and all you want to do is disappear
You know what I mean there's a lot of space between your ears
The way that you touch don't feel no nothing
Hey hey hey hey it was the D.N.A.
Hey hey hey hey that made me this way
Do you know do you know do you know just how I feel?
Do you know do you know do you know just how I feel?

Sheer heart attack
Sheer heart attack
Real cardiac

I feel so in-ar in-ar in-ar in-ar in-ar in-ar in-ar in-ar-tic-u-late

Gotta feeling gotta feeling gotta feeling like a paralyse
It ain't no it ain't no it ain't no it ain't no surprise
Turn on the TV let it drip right down in your eyes
Hey hey hey hey it was the D.N.A.
Hey hey hey hey that made me this way
Do you know do you know do you know just how I feel?
Do you know do you know do you know just how I feel?

Sheer heart attack
Sheer heart attack

I feel so in-ar in-ar in-ar in-ar in-ar in-ar in-ar in-ar-tic-u-late

Just how I feel
Do you know do you know do you know do you know just how I feel?

Do you know do you know do you know just how I feel?
Do you know do you know do you know do you know just how I feel?
