This is a very rough demo version recorded by Freddie at home. The track begins with around 4 seconds from another take, and ends with Freddie turning the tape recorder off, briefly humming the track to himself.
Lyrics:
Been sitting up all night long
(Ad-libbed lyrics) I was lonely
(Ad-libbed lyrics) alright
(Ad-libbed lyrics) it's dawning
Yes it's morning, alright
(A verse of ad-libbed lyrics)
Just what's been going on, yeah, yeah
(A verse of ad-libbed lyrics)
(A verse of ad-libbed lyrics)
Just been sittin' all alone
(Ad-libbed lyrics)

This isn't a demo as such, but features various sound excerpts at an early stage, which ultimately made up the album version. The track begins with a drum intro, then the beat of the track, a synthesiser solo, keyboards, more synths, disco effects, then a-capella vocals which cut into the album version, before cutting out very abruptly.
Sounds Like an80's TV Advertise i think...!

This version is often claimed to be a demo, because it is so short, features slightly different music and features some different lyrics. However, it is not a demo, just an earlier version of the track which is part of the soundtrack to 'Metropolis'
