The eighth track on Queen’s last album with Freddie Mercury, “Innuendo” is, of course, among the last songs Freddie Mercury recorded and released before his death.

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I get to feelin' I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect, you know?
The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young
The sun was always shinin', we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know
The rest of my life's been just a show
[Chorus]
Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now, but one thing is true
When I look and I find I still love you
[Verse 2]
You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide
Ain't that a shame?
Ooh, I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sittin' and thinkin' on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow
[Chorus]
'Cause these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now, but some things remain
When I look and I find no change
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Those were the days of our lives, yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now, but one thing's still true
When I look and I find I still love you
[Outro]
I still love you

LIFE. You can’t turn back the clock and be “young” again; you may be at the stage of inability to enjoy the “roller coaster ride” of a game called “life”, “when we were kids, when we were young” … “The rest of my life’s just a show”.
So. Better to live vicariously through your kids in a more “acti...
The book “Freddie Mercury: A Life, In His Own Words”, leads the reader to decide if he wanted kids or not. There are more than a few quotes given on a question he allegedly did not like being asked. Nevertheless, he answered such questions in full, yet ambiguous, candor:
I’d love to have a baby....
