He's a fairy feller The fairy folk have gathered 'round the new moon shine To see the feller crack a nut at night's noon time To swing his axe he swears, as he climbs he dares To deliver The master stroke Ploughman, "waggoner will" and types Politician with senatorial pipe, he's a dilly-dally-o Pedagogue squinting, wears a frown And a satyr peers under lady's gown, dirty fellow What a dirty laddio Tatterdemalion and the junketer There's a thief and a dragonfly trumpeter, he's my hero Fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend The nymph in yellow What a quaere fellow Soldier, sailor, tinker, tailor, ploughboy Waiting to hear the sound And the arch-magician presides He is the leader Oberon and Titania watched by a harridan Mab is the queen and there's a good apothecary-man Come to say hello Fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend The nymph in yellow What a quaere fellow The ostler stares with hands on his knees Come on mister feller, crack it open if you please

Great King Rat died today Born on the twenty first of May Died syphillis forty four on his birthday Every second word he swore Yes, he was the son of a whore Always wanted by the law Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what did I tell you Would you like to see? Where will I be tomorrow? Will I beg or will I borrow? I don't care, I don't care anyway Come on come on the time is right The man is evil and that is right I told you ah yes I told you And that's no lie oh no, no Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what did I tell you? Would you like to see? Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know people? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what did I tell you? Would you like to see? Hit it! Now listen all you people Put out the good and keep the bad Don't believe all you read in the Bible You sinners get in line Saints you leave far behind Very soon you're gonna be his disciple Don't listen to what mama says Not a word not a word mama says Or else you'll find yourself being the rival The great Lord before he died Knelt sinners by his side And said "You're gonna realize tomorrow" No I'm not gonna tell you What you already know 'Cause time and time again The old man said it all a long time ago Come on, come on the time is right This evil man will fight I told you once before And that's no lie Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know? People Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he The last time I tell you? Would you like to see?

Forget your sing-alongs and your lullabies Surrender to the city of the fireflies Dance with the devil, beat with the band To hell with all of you hand-in-hand But now it's time to be gone Forever, forever

about

Death On Two Legs: A Freddie Mercury Tribute

To be released on Freddie's Remembrance Day - November 24th, 2023.

I've been wanting to record a proper tribute to one of my biggest influences musically and aesthetically for over a decade, but I have not had the time nor resources to do it justice...until recently as I've built up my personal studio and have learnt how to achieve the proper sonics.

I pressed this on 50 white 7'' vinyl, but could only include the first four tracks, due to time constraints on the 45. If you buy the 7'' on Bandcamp, you get the digital downloads for the 6 bonus tracks.

I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did recording, mixing, and mastering it.

I perform the drums, bass, guitar, piano, and all the vocals on this release.

(Except for In the Lap of the Gods which was recorded during the Running Out of Time sessions.)

Thanks!
