He may spend days looking at a version of "My Melancholy Blues" thinking of the nuances of "come and get me" but then he looks at his fridge and thinks "I need some milk to keep my hopeless life adrift".

I agree, but i am not being horrible to him, i am asking a legitimate question that needs to be addressed by someone who thinks he knows more about Queen than anyone.

Stuart would like to make the extent of his knowledge known to us all, including the things he 'thinks' exist, and he puts it on the table, I will confirm or not that they exist or not. NO confusion, no guessing, no misleading misinformation. John, what do you REALLY know. What do you REALLY have to offer as fact?" As I have been so free with my version of events re: Queen II recording sessions, and I have placed all my knowledge "...on the table", I hope you can oblige and let me know EXACTLY where I have gone wrong. I really look forward to reading your informative reply, John S. Stuart

The entire site's already being tarred with one "moaning, nitpicking, abusive", why add repetition to the charge sheet?

Here is the answer to your question: "Surrender To The City"? was written by Freddie as an early (or working title) for the tail end section of 'March Of The Black Queen' (which was at one time a seperate track). It begins with the section: "Forget your sing a-longs and your lullabies", and comes from the line: "Surrender to the city of the fireflies..." We have discussed this before, but like the Beatles "A Day In The Life"' many of Queen's magnus opus - are infact two or three seperate tracks joined to make one. Other examples would include "Innuendo" and "A New Life Is Born"' (which later became "Breakthru"). According to uncredited sources at Wikipedia link 'Unreleased songs from these sessions include John Deacon's first song, titled 'Fly By Night', as well as two songs called 'Deep Ridge' (by Brian) and 'Surrender To The City' (by Freddie). Initial ideas for 'Brighton Rock' and 'The Prophets Song' were laid down during these sessions'.
