Freddie Mercury - Love Kills (Unreleased - Jazzy Mix)
This version of Love Kills comes from an unknown source, however it was a rejected mix from the original 1993 remixes.
The Jazzy mix is the most original and most inspired of all the Fugitive Brothers mixes. The backing track has been replaced with a “jazzy“ bass and drum beat. The track opens with slow tempo bass guitar and mixes Freddie’s scat section from Living On My Own. From there, the track continues into Love Kills with the backing track replaced with the “jazzy“ backing track. This remix was also rejected from both the 1992 Remixes CD single and from the Freddie Mercury Solo Collection Box Set.

Lyrics:
(Ad-libbed section)
Love don’t give no compensation
Love don’t pay no bills
Love don’t give no indication
Love just won’t stand still
Love kills, drills you through your heart
Love kills, scars you from the start
It’s just a living pastime
Ruling your heart line
Stay for a lifetime
Won’t let you go
Cause love (love) love (love) love won’t leave you alone
Love don’t take no reservation
Love is no square deal
Hey, love don’t give no justification
It strikes like cold steel
Love kills, drills you through your heart
Love kills, scars you from the start
It’s just a living pastime
Burning your life line
Gives you a hard time
Won’t let you go
Cause love (love) love (love) love won’t leave you alone
Hey, love can play with your emotions
Open invitation to your heart
Hey, love kills
Play with your emotions
Open invitation to your heart
Love kills
Hey, ey
Love kills
Love kills
Play with your emotions
An open invitation
Love kills, hey, drills you through your heart
Love kills, scars you from the start
It’s just a living pastime
Ruling your heartline
Won’t let you go
Love kills, drills you through your heart
Love kills, tears you right apart
It won’t let go
It won’t let go
Love kills
