Roger Taylor’s third Queen song appears on the Sheer Heart Attack album. Modern Times Rock n Roll and Loser In The Ens being on Queen and Queen II.
Marc Bolan wrote Tenement Lady which is possibly along within Tenement Funster the only songs with the term “Tenement” Tenement being a room or place to rent.
“The song opens with a medley to which “Flick of the Wrist” and “Lily of the Valley” are added on Side 1 of Sheer Heart Attack.
I’d always assumed Roger played acoustic guitar on this one but indeed it was John Deacon on acoustic guitar.
The song later appeared on the Queen release Queens First EP with Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy being the lead song along with Death On Two Legs and White Queen (As It Began)
