From the 'Sheer Heart Attack' album, 1974. written by Freddie Mercury.
"Lily of the Valley" is one of May's favorite songs by Mercury. Mercury played piano and did all of the vocals. The song has a reference to Seven Seas of Rhye in the line "messenger from Seven Seas has flown to tell the King of Rhye he's lost his throne.**** "
Lyrics:
I am for ever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no?
Neptune of the seas
An answer for me please
The lily of the valley doesn't know
I lie and wait with open eyes
I carry on through stormy skies
I follow every course
My Kingdom for a Horse
But each time I grow ols
Serpent of the Nile
Relieve me for a while
And cast me from you're spell, let me go
Messenger from seven seas has flown. ****
To tell the King of Rhye he's lost his Throne
Wars will never cease
Is there time enough for peace
For the lily of the valley doesn't know..

@DickLodge68 Agreed 110%. Queen is the ICON band. Far beyond brilliance.
Happy Holidays:)

@ridgeback69z Haha well not recorded "for" an LP but yes, they made a master and yes...vinyl is the way to go. I saw your channel and forgot about The Cult! Shame on me. A pretty good band, Sonic Temple was a good album. I saw them decades ago and the opening band? Guns and Roses. But neither could compare to Queen live or in the studio...they were simply brilliant.

@DickLodge68 So.............are you telling me this was recorded for LPs and not CDs in 1974?
-
It's really the end of three acts....Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist, and then Lily of the Valley. The CD is horrible there...the LP is true and it works great!
