Roger Taylor - I Wanna Take You Higher

Unreleased demo from the Strange Frontier sessions.

Lyrics:
Got my baby in overdrive
My foot's on the floor and I feel alive
Put her in second and leaving cold
Eat my dust never live to be slow

Sitting alone in your favourite chair
Counting the reasons you should not be there
This is the truth

I wanna take you higher
I wanna take you higher
Wanna take you higher than before
Wanna take you higher, said
I wanna take you higher than before

She screams like a kid when I'm making the turns
She holds in the skids when the rubber burns
Watch for the cops and watch for the signs
Life in the fast line you look into the lines

Feeling alone on some everyday street
These are the moments you really don't need
This is no truth

Wanna take you higher, I said
I wanna take you higher
Wanna take you higher than before
You know I wanna take you higher
I wanna take you higher than before

So if you feel like a buzz, I feel I can fly
Just hold your breath, and step inside
Keep hold of your hat, enjoy the show
Eat my dust, never live to be slow

Who really knows what's in store in the end?
Who really knows what's around the very next bend?
Why should we care?

I said I wanna take you higher
Wanna take you higher, you know I
Wanna take you higher than before
Wanna take you higher
Wanna take you higher than before
I wanna take you higher
I wanna take you higher than before
Woo

Hey
You got your problems, take my advice
Do what you can get a kick out of life, oh, yeah
Wanna take you higher, woh, yeah
Wanna take you higher
Alright
Alright

One of Roger's best traks. I never understood why it didn't make it on Strange Frontier.

[queeenkiller]

one of the best solo songs of roger, one of the best rock drummers ever

Me encantó esta canción.

Freddie was outstanding, but no daubt Rogers vocal input helped to creat that special Queensound. He deservs more cred for that then he actually have got in my opinion.

VIVA ROGER TAYLOR!!!!!!!

[dyoung0684]

We are definitely due for a Roger BOX SET!! He has more solo stuff, Cross stuff, rarities and unreleased songs than most bands have in their entire discography!

[Spookachting]

Wow i think this is very good. Thanks Dave!

Rhythm sounds a lot like 80's 'The Knack' - not Roger's best I'm afraid.
