Early song "Hangman" How do you think the song is prophetic or just heavy rock was created for the entertainment of the public? I know all about you They call you Mr. T You are a barber's son You've got the rope, feel me You use, you use rope that you believe Oh, oh, I tell you Have you made any more pork pies for me? Hangman, says you make a very nice cup of tea, oh yes you do Hangman, hangman, waiting for me Hang that rope from the highest tree I don't want to beg for mercy Hangman, hang me, hangman, hang me I know all about you They call you, they call you Mr. C You did a very good job Oh, you'll go down, you'll go down, go down in history Baby, baby, I'm telling you Have you made any more pies for me? Hangman, says they're very nice, they're very nice for me, oh yes they are nice Hangman, hangman, waiting for me Hang that rope from the highest tree I don't want to beg for mercy Hangman, hang me, hang me Oooh Hey Hey, why do you keep calling, why do you keep calling Why do you keep calling me, oooh, why You'll go down, you'll go down, down and down in history Baby, baby, I'm telling you, ooooh You say you're afraid of dying You say, you're just tired of living, yeah Now you say you're tired of living Hangman says he gonna let you go Now you say you're afraid of dying Hangman, he says he won't let you go Hangman, hang me Hangman, hang me Hangman, hang me Hangman Oh, gonna see me die Gonna watch me die Oh, gonna die, gonna die, gonna die, gonna die Gonna see me, see me die You gonna come and watch me die Hey, ooh yeah Gonna come and watch me die on a Saturday morning Gonna come and watch me die on a Saturday morning Please don't let me go, no, please don't let me go Yeah, oh yeah (unknown lyric) on a Saturday morning Please don't let me go, no, please don't let me go, yeah Oh yeah, oh You'll die tomorrow One, two, three, four, yeah, yeah Oh, let me die, please don't cry, don't cry Yeah, yeah, yeah Ohhh look for the line: Gonna come and watch me die on a Saturday morning. I think Freddie died Nov. 23, 1991 but his death was told only on November 24. |

He died in the evening of the 24th of November and that was a Sunday. Looking back you can read anything into anything. "Keep yourself alive" even has more hints of what was to come, but when Brian May wrote it the song was meant to be ironic. But reading the lyrics I think I begin to understand, why they dropped the song. The lyrics are pretty weak. |

Love Kills, To Much Love Will Kill You, My Love Is Dangerous are maybe more 'prophetic' song titles. I don't like it when somebody tries to find connections of which everybody knows they aren't there. |

I'm not sure why you think everyone lies about freddies death. The lyrics were roughly made up each time the song was performed. |

Who is a "Hangman"? Which hero gone down in hystory,in this song? |
believe in yourself 45455 20.03.2010 14:23 |
That's obvious. It's about Mr T from the A-Team "They call you Mr. T" And Mr C is the father of Melanie C from the Spice Girls http://www.tornado.pair.com/melaniec/v2/info/bio.html |
Goodoldfashionedloverboy 20.03.2010 14:57 |
NoMoreMrNiceGuy: What a nonsense, the song is not about Mr T from the A-Team, but about a lyrical hero, whom will gone down in hystory, but this is not Mr T from the A-Team. Before yammer, careful you must read the text of the song, and then answer on question. |

Freddie just made them up as he went along, they mean nothing. this is another version: I know all about you They call you Mr. C You are a bibles son. There, it's about Jesus. |
Goodoldfashionedloverboy 20.03.2010 15:21 |

Hangman, says you make a very nice cup of tea I know all about you They call you Mr. T You own a barber's shop You've got the pie's, feel me You use, you use rope that you believe Oh, oh, I tell you Obviously about Sweeny todd |

Well to be honest theres a chance it could be based on the urban myth of Sweeney Todd, before it became a musical. I know all about you They call you Mr. T you did a good job You use a cut-throat skillfully You lose, you choose Oh, oh, I tell you Have you made any more pork pies for me? Hangman, says you make a very nice cup of tea. Sounds like sweeney todd to me. |

kind of subject hard to touch. we can all write stuff to look back and forth opon. |

Could Mr. T be the reason that this song has never been released? |
Rubbersuit 22.03.2010 09:30 |
It would be prophetic if Mr T had killed Freddie Mercury on orders from Mr. Cunningham (from Happy Days). |

Who knows what the song means expect for Freddie who wrote it. It's not about Mr. T from the A-Team, Hangman came out around '73 and '75/76, the A-team TV show was shown from January 23, 1983 to December 30, 1986. |
