Freddie Mercury - Time (2000 Remix)

This version of Time comes from the Freddie Mercury - Messenger Of The Gods 2015 CD by Kevin Metcalfe, Peter Mew & Eddy Schreyer and was released on September 2nd, 2016 in the UK.

Arguably an improvement on the Single Version, this remix by Dave Clark simply cleans up the backing tracks, allowing each instrument more presence and ultimately more punch. You can easily pick out this version by listening to the first verse. Freddie's lead vocal is brought to the front and is easily heard over the backing vocals. This version appears on a few odd releases. It's first appearance was on the bonus disc of 2000's "Solo" 3 CD set. It was notably not included on The Solo Collection or on Lover Of Life, Singer Of Songs. It did reappear on 2016's Messenger Of The Gods vinyl singles box set in place of the 1986 single version.

Lyrics:

Time waits for nobody (ooooh, oooh)
Time waits for nobody (ooooh, ooh, oooh)
We all must plan our hopes together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Time waits for nobody

We might as well be deaf and dumb and blind
I know that sounds unkind
But it seems to me we've not listened to
Or spoken about it all
The fact that time is running out
For us all

Time
Waits for nobody
Time waits for no-one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because time
It waits for nobody

You don't need me tell you what's gone wrong (gone wrong, gone wrong)
You know what's going on
But it seems to me we've not cared enough (ooooh, oooh)
Or confided in each other at all
It seems like we've all got our backs against the wall

(Time) Time waits for nobody
(Time) Ooh, waits for no-one
We've got to trust in one another (ooooh, oooh)
Or there'll be no more future at all

(Time)
Yeah, time waits for nobody, no, no
Time don't wait for no-one
Let's learn to be friends with one another (ooooh, oooh)
Or there'll be no more future at all

Time, time, time, time
Waits for nobody
Waits for nobody
Time, time, time, time
Waits for nobody at all

Time waits for nobody, yeah
Time don't wait (don't wait), waits for no-one
Let us free this world forever (ooooh, oooh)
And build a brand new future for us all
Ahh, ah, ahh, ah
Time

Waits
For nobody, nobody, nobody
For no-one
