Mad The Swine
Written by Freddie Mercury
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'll 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 fall
Oh and then one day you'll realise
You're all the same within his eyes
That's 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 ooh ooh
Fall down
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
Fall down
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
Get down on knees and pray with the LordSecret Love

Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I am so in love with you
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore

"When I first heard 'Secret Love' I almost fainted, it was so
beautiful.... When we finally got around to doing the
prerecording, Ray Heindorf, the musical director at Warner's,
said he'd get the musicians in about 12:30 so they could
rehearse. That morning I did my vocal warm up, then jumped on my
bike and rode over to Warner's (we lived in Toluca Lake at the
time, which was just minutes from the studio). When I got there,
I sang the song with the orchestra for the first time. When I'd
finished, Ray called me into the sound booth, grinning from ear
to ear, and said, 'That's it. You're never going to do it
better.' That was the first and only take we did."
