Queen - A Day At The Races Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself)
Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)
Lord, what you're doing to me? (Yeah, yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord
Somebody (somebody), ooh, somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Yeah

I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work 'til I ache my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay (goes home)
All on my own (goes home on his own)
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray (praise the Lord)
'Til the tears run down from my eyes
Lord, somebody (somebody), ooh, somebody
(Please) can anybody find me somebody to love?

(He works hard)
Every day (every day), I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
I got no common sense
(He's got) I got nobody left to believe in
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Ooh, Lord)
Ooh, somebody, ooh (somebody)
Anybody find me somebody to love?
(Can anybody find me someone to love)

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (you just keep losing and losing)
I'm okay, I'm alright (he's alright, he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah, yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day (someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Queen's "Somebody to Love" express a deep longing for companionship and love. The singer starts by pleading, "Can anybody find me somebody to love?" They feel a sense of emptiness and despair, as each morning they struggle to get up and face the day. Looking in the mirror, they are confronted by their own suffering and wonder what they have done to deserve such pain.


The lyrics also touch on the singer's hard work and dedication, as they labor tirelessly day after day. Despite their efforts, they are met with rejection and criticism from others who want to bring them down. They are accused of being crazy and lacking common sense, leading them to believe that they have nobody left to believe in.


Throughout the song, the singer's plea for someone to love becomes more desperate. They express their frustration, feeling out of sync with the world and continuously losing their rhythm. Despite the challenges, they remain resilient, declaring that they won't face defeat and are determined to break free from their metaphorical prison cell.


Ultimately, the song captures the universal yearning for love and connection. It reflects the struggles, loneliness, and longing that many people experience, hoping to find that special someone who can bring joy and meaning to their lives.
