Queen - Mad the Swine

Bonus track from "Queen" album released in 1973.
Only released on 'Headlong' 12"/CD single. It was originally going to be released on the Queen album, but Freddie, Brian, Roger and John didn't like the way Roy Thomas Baker mixed it. Neither side wanted to change their mind so it was decided to leave it off the album altogether.

Lyrics:

Been here before a long time ago
But this time I wear no sandals
Ages past I gave all you people
Food and water

Three feet tall so very small I'm no trouble
I bring thunder lightning sun and the rain
For all the people in the land

A message of love
I bring you from up above
All good children gather around
Come join your hands and sing along

They call me mad the swine
I guess I'm mad the swine
I've come to save you save you
Mad the swine
Mad the swine
So all you people gather around
Hold out your hands and praise the Lord

I walk upon the water just as before
I'll help the meek and the mild and believers and the blind
And all the creatures great and small
Let me take you to the river without a ford?fall
Oh and then one day you realise
You're all the same within His eyes
All I've come to say just like before

They call me mad the swine
I'm mad the swine
I've come to save you save you
Mad the swine
Mad the swine
So all you people gather around
Hold out your hands and praise the Lord
Ooh

Oh now
So all you people gather around
Hold out your hands and praise the Lord
Don't ever fail me

Mad the swine
Mad the swine
I've come to save you save you
Oh now
Mad the swine
Mad the swine
So all you people gather around
Hold out your hands and praise the Lord
Hands and praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
I'll get down on my knees and praise the Lord

I could not believe this was released in 1990-something with one of the 12" from the Inuendo album, wish it had been released in Queen I or Queen II
