What songs were written by Freddie Mercury but not for Queen?

Well, he led a bit of a solo career. In 1985, he released a pop album, and he wrote all of the songs on that. He also released an album with opera singer Montserrat Caballe, but he cowrote all of the songs on that album.

I can't seem to find songs that he wrote for other artists and for movies, which I feel really thick for. I'll keep looking, but from my knowledge he didn't write songs for movies or anything (other than the Flash Gordon and A Kind of Magic albums, which he did with Queen).

EDIT: He recorded a few demos with Michael Jackson, but they were never released. However, Michael took the song "State of Shock" and recorded a version of it with Mick Jagger.

"His first solo effort involved his contribution to the Richard "Wolfie" Wolf mix of Love Kills on the 1984 album (the song also used as the end title theme for National Lampoon's "Loaded Weapon") and new soundtrack to the 1926 Fritz Lang film Metropolis. The song, produced by Giorgio Moroder, debuted at the number 10 position in the UK charts."
 
I am fully aware that Freddie Mercury was an incredibly talented man who not only wrote most of the songs for Queen but also wrote stuff for other artists and for movies (Like Prince did, but in my opinion better) Can anyone find me a list of such songs?
