Tie Your Mother Down Lyrics
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right
Got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight my little
Schoolbabe
And your Daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time
Tie your Mother down
Lock your Daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosing around
Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Give me all your love tonight
Go get outta my house
That's all I ever get from your
Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word
from those guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Grousin' an' snipin'
Tie your Mother down
Take your little brother swimmin'
With a brick (that's all right)
Tie your Mother down,
Tie your Mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine
Plague me til I die
Why can't they understand I'm just a
Peace lovin' guy
Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down. . .etc etc. . .
Song was written by brian may so don´t homosexualize it. even if it was written by freddie, don´t homosexualize it.
I think Brian was young and horney when he wrote this!
@gmandi1708 I agree. He was alone on a mountain doing research for his Astrophysics Doctorate at the time he originally wrote it. I think he was horny and wrote a song about trying to get alone with his girlfriend.

It's about a boy whose girlfriend's parents don't like him and try to stop his seeing her so he is encouraging her to defy them and see him anyway. Simple as that.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PUBLISHING BLOCKS?! IT'S DRIVING ME MAD!
But it's Freddie. He has earned respect...

Hmm... they've cleared the blocks up it seems...

No, I don't think it's about May's sexual desires. I've read somewhere that it was just a working title, but Freddie encouraged him to keep the title Tie Your Mother Down. Probably Queen's odd sense of humour? Anyway, the riff is quite...great.
May was playing the guitar riff one morning and singing this line "Tie your mother down," which he considered a joke, but Freddie encouraged him, and he finished writing it, thus the song! Really has no deeper meaning...
lol I think this song is well funny it's about a guy who hates his gf's family simple as that :)
whoops sorry, this song was written by may not murcury so completly ignore my last comment :) yeah i think it was about a girl underage and May loved her and couldnt wait until she was 18
Incest rears it's ugly head again...
the narrator wants to make sweet love to a girl... or at least become her boyfriend but doesnt want her family to butt in
I think the intention is to "fuck her brains out" rather than "make love". Consider 1970s sensitivities.

It's about one of Osama's sons on a date with one of the Bush twins!
