Kerry: I would like to introduce you to, um, this man needs no introduction at all, to Doctor Brian May Brian: Thank you very much, and I would like to introduce you to the incomparable Kerry Ellis. This gig, this tour, is all about Born Free as you know, which is all about trying to change the way that we treat animals, and in particular it's supporting the work of Born Free in Africa to try and save the lion, um, very happy to say I believe Virginia McKenna is with us, um, very honoured to have you with us. Our first little animal for you is a very small one, and er, but it's kind of a metaphorical animal because this is about some things that are glittering actually being gold, so um, this is, sometimes we call it 'Butterfly'.
Once I loved a butterfly Don't wonder how, don't ask me why But I believed what I'd been told All things that glitter can't be gold Ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, yeah All things that glitter can't be gold
Those jealous minds conspired to say Just let that creature fly away How can it be she has it all Her pride is headed for a fall Ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, yeah All things that glitter can't be gold
Oh Lord, what races we run Seeking our place in the sun Reaching and hoping we find the right one
Now every day a new joy brings My butterfly grew golden wings It seems we find as we grow old Some things that glitter may be gold Ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, yeah Some things that glitter may be gold Ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, yeah Some things that glitter may be gold
So let us mind what's there to see Before our hearts become too cold In spite of all that we've been told Some things that glitter may be gold
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, yeah Some things that glitter may be gold Ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh, yeah, ooh Some things that glitter may be gold
