"'Death On Two Legs' was the most vicious lyric I ever wrote. It's so vindictive that Brian felt bad singing it. I don't like to explain what I was thinking when I wrote a song. I think that's awful, just awful. When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance." Freddie Mercury - 17/03/1977, Circus Magazine Additional Info
