Mister Kingdom is a song recorded by the Electric Light Orchestra.
The song is track six on the bands 1974 album Eldorado. Reminiscent of the Beatles song Across the Universe but darker in tone. The subject matter of the song is somewhat muddled even for its writer Jeff Lynne.
"God knows what this is about, but I like the sound."
- (Jeff Lynne Liner notes (2000 - Flashback)
In 1977 the song became the b-side to Turn to Stone in an edited form and later the song was remastered and included on the box set Flashback in 2000
