I was looking up the lyrics to the march of the black queen and the lyrics ended like this:
Forget your sing a-longs and your lullabies
Surrender to the city of the fireflies
Dance to the devil in beat with the band
To hell with all of you hand in hand
But now it's time to be gone
La la la la forever forever
Ah ah ah ah ah.
Is there an extended version or something because when I listen to TMOTBQ it ends before that with guitar. Is there a longer version or what, I'm confused, because those lyrics arent in the song I've got.
I'd love to see a demo or the BBC version of TMOTBQ though. A longer one. It's one of the best Queen songs IMO.
I agree with Fried Chicken about the mp3s.
Ah, "The March Of The Black Queen BBC Version"!
The rarest of all the tracks recorded for the BBC, but probably the least interesting one (hope I don't say anything stupid). From what I recall it's just the normal Album track faded out at the end, or am I completely wrong here?
I have inferred from talking to some foreigner friends (I mean people who are foreigner, not that I talk to the band members, life isn't that perfect) that in some editions he borderline was different and the track 9 ends before this "lullabies" section, and track 10 starts with it.
I remember that PD's Opera cd has Bo Rhap starting with the last guitar trill of 'Good Company'
in June '02 Record Collector, Greg Brooks stated It was performed live only very rarely, but it was revisited in 1974 for a BBC session - which is likely to emerge on the proposed "early years box set"
i know Mr. Brooks is not held in the highest regard around here, and i could be mistaken, but I interpreted the word "revisited" to mean that the BBC version is in fact different from the album version...
