Queen for a Day - Pain is So Close to Pleasure



Ah, so now we're back in "Body Language" territory. Only this time it sounds more like an MOR, easy listening R&B jam. In other words, it's about as generic as generic can be. Any teeth that the band have had once upon a time are long gone.

This is as dull as 90% of the acts at Live Aid. (Don't believe me? Watch Live Aid again) And just because you repeat the words "pain" & "Pleasure" at the end don't make it lyrics, Fred. Even BRian's guitar sounds like any session man sat in and laid down the tracks.

The sing-songy bridge is sort of catchy but for the most part, this is a falsetto ridden piece of tripe.

Grade: C-
