Queen - Ogre Battle (Langham Studio Version)

BBC Langham Studio version of Ogre Battle recorded at Langham One Studio in London on December 3rd 1973 and broadcast 3 days later on Radio 1.

Lyrics:
Ha, ha, ha, ha, haa

Now once upon a time
An old man told me a fable
When the piper is gone
And the soup is cold on your table
And if the black crow flies
To find a new destination
That is the sign
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to ogre battle fight

He gives a great big cry
Swallow up the ocean
With a mighty tongue he catches flies
In the palm of a hand incredible size
One great big eye
Has a focus in your direction
And the battle is won
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to ogre battle fight

Ha, ha, ha, ha, haa

The ogre men are still inside
The two-way mirror mountain
You gotta keep down right out of sight
You can't see in but they can see out
'Look out'
The ogre men are coming out
From the two-way mirror mountain
They're running up behind
And they're coming all about
Can't go east 'cos you gotta go south

Ogre men are going home
The great big fight is over
Bugle blow let trumpet cry
Ogre battle lives for evermore
Wow, oh, oh
But you can come along
You can come along
Come to ogre battle

Ha, ha, ha, ha, haa

In my opinion, I think Queen 2 is the best Queen Album..why?? because they reached their heaviest side in there, the choirs are great and Brian May did an excellent guitar work. In fact, Brian said in an interview that in this album, he did everything he dreamed about to do as a guitar player.of course is a completely different album campared with Jazz, but hey!! what Queen album is equal to other??..none! and that´s why Queen is a great band, they never got tired to try something new

[stormtrooper62]

Oh, yes, yes, YES!!!! BUY IT!!! BUY IT!! In fact, while you're shopping for Queen II, get a copy of Queen (first album) too. THESE ARE THE MOST AMAZING PIECES OF ART -- Absolute Queen perfection! You won't regret... and you probably won't listen to Greatest Hits again (although they're also fantastic -- Queen I and Queen II are on a whole other level of fantasticness). BTW, I am a Queen enthusiast.

@luigimx1 I think the best album is A Night At The Opera

written by Freddie Mercury released on Queen II 1974 this is a great song I have been a fan for a very long time this is one of my favorite albums.if you listen from cover to cover its like a musical journey each song on this album from White Queen side one..and March of the Black Queen side 2 to The Fairy Feller's Masterstroke. this song...and all the great ones in between ..Now I was lucky saw them in concert in '77 and'78 they were brilliant..4 men absolute perfect genius QUEEN

@Olegstuff21986 I once jokingly called Tom Schulz the "straight-haired Brian May" - also because of their interest in science. ; )

All great music begats (just like the bible says about men and their wives) more great music...one band begats another band, another song, another day, another LIFE!
