ATF: Oh Mama

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Queen

Is this the real life

Is this just fantasy

Caught in a landslide

No escape from reality

Open your eyes

Look up to the skies and see

I’m just a poor boy

Poor boy

I need no sympathy

Because I’m

Easy come

Easy go

Little high

Little low

Anyway the wind blows

Doesn’t really matter to me

To me

Mama

Just killed a man

Put a gun against his head

Pulled my trigger

Now he’s dead

Mama

Life had just begun

But now I’ve gone

And thrown it all away

Mama

Oooooo

Didn’t mean to make you cry

If I’m not back again this time tomorrow

Carry on

Carry on

As if nothing really matters

It’s too late

My time has come

Sends shivers down my spine

Body’s aching all the time

Goodbye everybody

I’ve got to go

Gotta leave you all behind

And face the truth

Mama

Oooooo

Anyway the wind blows

I don’t want to die

I sometimes wish

I’d never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man

Scaramouche

Scaramouche

Will you do the fandango

Thunderbolts and lightning

Very very frightening me

Galileo

Galileo

Galileo

Galileo

Galileo Figaro

Mangifico-o-o-o

I’m just a poor boy

Nobody loves me

He’s just a poor boy

From a poor family

Spare him his life

From this monstrosity

Easy come

Easy go

Will you let me go

It’s the law

No

We will not let you go

Let him go

It’s the law

We will not let you go

Let him go

It’s the law

We will not let you go

Let me go

Will not let you

Let me go

Never

Never let you go

Let me go

Never let me go oh oh oh oh

No no no no no no no

Oh Mama Mia

Mama Mia

Mama Mia

Let me go

Beelzebub has a devil

Put aside for me

For me

For me

So you think you can stone me

And spit in my eye

So you think you can love me

And leave me to die

Oh baby

Can’t do this to me baby

Just gotta get out

Just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah

Ooh yeah

Nothing really matters

Anyone can see

Nothing really matters

Nothing really matters

To me

Anyway the wind blows

Renegade

Styx

Oh mama

I'm in fear for my life

From the long arm of the law

Lawman has put an end to my runnin’

And I'm so far from my home

Oh mama

I can hear you a-cryin’

You're so scared

And all alone

Hangman is comin’ down from the gallows

And I don't have very long

No

The jig is up

The news is out

They've finally found me

The renegade

Who had it made

Retrieved for a bounty

Never more to go astray

This will be the end today

Of the wanted man

Oh mama

I've been years on the lamb

And had a high price on my head

Lawman said get him dead or alive

Now it's for sure he'll see me dead

Dear mama

I can hear you cryin’

You're so scared

And all alone

Hangman is comin’ down from the gallows

And I don't have very long

The jig is up

The news is out

They finally found me

The renegade

Who had it made

Retrieved for a bounty

Never more to go astray

The judge'll have revenge today

On the wanted man

Oh mama

I'm in fear for my life

From the long arm of the law

Hangman is comin’ down from the gallows

And I don't have very long

The jig is up

The news is out

They finally found me

The renegade

Who had it made

Retrieved for a bounty

Never more to go astray

This'll be the end today

Of the wanted man

The wanted man

And I don’t want to go

No no

Oh mama

Don't let him take me

Oh no

Oh no

No no

No no

No
