Queen - A Human Body

A Human Body by Queen with a video I made. Released as the B-side to Play The Game. Written by Roger Taylor.

Lyrics:
Oh, oooh

They were talking in whispers
In bearskins and fur
Captain Scott and his heroes to be
To have laboured so long
To have made it this far

Oooh, it's been such a long ride
Oooh, you know it's been a long way
For a human, human, human
For a human body, can you see
Can you believe, it happens now, it happens here?

Do you believe, do you believe, or really care?
Can you believe, it happens now, it happens here?
To a human, human
With a human body, can you see?

There ain't nobody
Gets out of this movie alive

Today, we're surprisingly fair

Oooh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oooh-oooh

We've got problems the lone ranger can't fix
The invisible man couldn't see
It takes a tough guy to learn some new tricks

Oooh, it takes such a long time
Oooh, you know it's been such a long way
For a human - human - human
For a human body, do you see?
Can you believe, it happens now, it happens here?

Do you believe, do you believe, or really care?
Can you believe, it happens now, it happens here?
To a human - human
To a human body - do you see?

You know it's been such a long ride (it's been such a long ride)
It takes such a long time (it takes such a long time)
It's been such a long way (it's been such a long way)
It's been such a long ride (it's been such a long ride)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's gonna be a long ride

I agree they should issue something with outtakes/rare songs on it. Queen don't seem all that keen on issuing stuff that fans are really really interested in. They keep putting out live DVDs all from the early 80's (no 70's stuff at all, which fans really want to see) and never any rare outtake/unreleased stuff on official CD releases. Instead we get 'The Cosmos Rocks''. A bit of a shame, really.

Forgot this song even existed... it kinda reminds me of Drowse in its tone and stuff.

I hope this will be added to Universal's Reissue of The Game coming in June.

As far as unreleased material goes, this was one of the better songs, IMO. While I'd love to see a B-sides/outakes album, the fact is the majority of the material that never made it to album wasn't very good.

don't like it...too moody, some good elements but under produced.

one of the very few queen songs i dont like. it sounds like somethink off his solo album.

Thank-you for posting :) Great to hear this after wondering 25 years ago; seeing it in my queen music song book. Makes good sense it didn't make the album; it's pretty rough ;-)
