This was written by Brian May and it was based on his problems with the British Press. In particular they had upset him with their comments on his divorce and relationship with the actress Anita Dobson. In an interview with the video magazine Hard 'N' Heavy (1989, Volume 3), May confirmed it was the antics of the British tabloid press which inspired this song: "It's something which has affected us, individually, as members of the group recently. It's very strange, 'cause we were fairly famous for a long time in England, you know the last 15 years or whatever, but we didn't become a prey to these kind of scummy papers until recently. And it's not related to what you are doing, you know. They are not interested what music you play, or anything. They just want the dirt, and if they can't find any they'll invent it if they choose to pick on you. So we were all going through a lot of changes in our lives and suddenly it became a big problem, you know, in a similar way... you've heard about what they did to Elton, you know? These stories about Elton, and everything, which he sued them for and got a million quid (NB. slang for pound) off 'em. You know, great. Well they did very similar things to me particularly, and to a certain extent to Roger, and Freddie also had been through it a little while before. But this thing is total... you know, steam in and destroy someone's life. They really are the scum of the earth. You can't exaggerate it too much." The Miracle Scandal Song Duration 4:41 Written by Queen. Sung by Freddie Mercury. Released 9th October, 1989. Reached number 25. Lyrics Eeh dah eeh dah Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh Scandal - now you've left me all the world's gonna know Hey scandal, they're gonna turn our lives into a freak show They'll see the heart-ache, they'll see our love break They'll hear me pleading, we'll say for God's sakes Over and over and over again Scandal - now you've left me there's no healing the wounds Hey scandal, and all the world can make us out to be fools Here come the bad news, open the floodgates (oooh oooh) They'll leave us bleeding, we say you cheapskates (Oooh oooh) Over and over and over again So let them know when they stare, it's just a private affair They'll have us hung in the air and tell me what do they care It's only a life to be twisted and broken They'll see the heart-ache, they'll see our love break - yeah They'll hear me pleading, I'll say for God's sakes Over and over and over and over again - yeah Scandal, scandal Scandal, scandal Yes you're breaking my heart again Scandal - yes it'll all and all happen again Today the headlines, tomorrow hard times And no-one ever really knows the truth from the lies And in the end the story deeper must hide (oooh) Deeper and deeper and deeper inside Scandal, scandal Scandal, scandal Scandal Track 8.
