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
Kerry: Ah, thank you.
Brian: Thank you very much.
