Brighton Rock Lyrics
Met his little Jenny on a public holiday
A happy pair they made, so decorously laid
'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade
'It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air
I'll weave my spell"
Nothing 'ere need come between us tell me love, what do you say'
'Oh no I must away to my Mum in disarray
If my mother should discover how I spent my holiday
It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air
I'll weave my spell'
O Rock of Ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still
O Lady Moon, shine down a little people magic if you will
'We must ever be together, nothing can my love erase'
'Oh no I'm compromised, I must apologise
If my lady should discover how I spent my holidays . . .'
It's not a random title... Brighton is a resort city in the UK, and the story is about going to Brighton, meeting a girl, and having a wife/GF back home.
Quick note: the solo existed long before this particular song did. They had experimented with putting it in other songs, but released it on an album for the first time in this song. They had already used it live a few times.
Song isn't about much just a tale of two people.....but damn it sure does show off Brian May's skill
After hearing that riff I can die happy. It was soo good. Almost too good.
Does it have anything to do with Graham Greene's novel "Brighton Rock"?
@name_here Yes! You are right! I guess you are the only one that said the true meaning of this song!

Oh aye! the greatest riff ever written by bri, with the posible exception of bijou
brian may's finest hour (though not as long as an hour)
But his guitar solo was built around this song, and that generally felt like it went on for an hour... :)
Bit of a random title though.
Oh, and if you like it on Sheer Heart Attack, listen to it on Queen Live Killers, it is so much better.
