I know all about you They call you Mr. T You own a barber's shop and you use a cut throat very very skillfully have you made any more pork pies for me (there's variations of these lines in all the versions, but the same basic things are there, MR T the barber, cut throat razor and pork pies.)
Considering where Freddie lived there's a high probability that the song is about Mr Todd, the barbers son, who used his cut throat razor to cut people up and bake them into pies. A well known myth / legend even before the Sweeney Todd musical was created. I've told "you" this before in one of your other threads asking the same thing.

The only folk who will know are Queen, the guys who were at the studio, quite possibly our esteemed archivist and John S Stewart (if he's even played the acetate). __________________________________________________________
Well, yes you are right, the studio version might present a completely different picture and be a great track, but as it stands I can only go on what I have heard, which doesn't exactly fill me with hope. I'll gladly re-evaluate my position if the track is ever made available, which at this point seems less likely than Freddie coming back to life.

I think the only time Hangman will ever be released is when QP steals everything from John S. Stuart's home. He seems to have more rarities than they do.
