about
Mama. Title track, The lyrics written circa 1979. The original cassette tape recording was hard to decipher, but too intriguing to ignore. The tempo and timing changes in the original were a wonderful challenge to recreate in this big Retoon remake of the original acoustic ballad.
lyrics
Two men
Eight grand
Two Lives
Two Hang
Two men
Eight grand
Two Lives
Two Hang
In you heart you know what you’re thinking
In your mind you know what you’re feeling
There just so much you just can’t understand
In your books were winners and losers
Black and white villains and virgins
How come real truth Seems so hard to find
In the wind that whispers
I hear your voice on my lips
I see you’re bright eyes
Peeking round the sun
You pretty face all painted and dolled up
Your best lace stocking and low cut
Your front door key don’t wait up for me daddy
Is it right you were seen in a late bar
Did I hear you were seen in a strange car
Did I understand what the lawman said
Mama, Mama, what have they done to you
Mama, Mama, what have they done to you
The crown for the prosecution
The jury for the prosecution
The judge for the prosecution
God dam the pusher man
God dam the pusher man
God dam the pusher man baby
Two men
Eight grand
Two Lives
Two Hang
Two men
Eight grand
Two Lives
Two Hang
In you heart you know what you’re thinking
In your mind you know what you’re feeling
There just so much you just can’t understand
In your books were winners and losers
Black and white villains and virgins
How come real truth Seems so hard to find
In the wind that whispers
I hear your voice on my lips
I see you’re bright eyes
Peeking round the sun
Mama, Mama, what have they done to you
Mama, Mama, what have they done to you
Eight grand
Two Lives
Two Hang
Two men
Eight grand
Two Lives
Two Hang
In you heart you know what you’re thinking
In your mind you know what you’re feeling
There just so much you just can’t understand
In your books were winners and losers
Black and white villains and virgins
How come real truth Seems so hard to find
In the wind that whispers
I hear your voice on my lips
I see you’re bright eyes
Peeking round the sun
You pretty face all painted and dolled up
Your best lace stocking and low cut
Your front door key don’t wait up for me daddy
Is it right you were seen in a late bar
Did I hear you were seen in a strange car
Did I understand what the lawman said
Mama, Mama, what have they done to you
Mama, Mama, what have they done to you
The crown for the prosecution
The jury for the prosecution
The judge for the prosecution
God dam the pusher man
God dam the pusher man
God dam the pusher man baby
Two men

In you heart you know what you’re thinking
In your mind you know what you’re feeling
There just so much you just can’t understand
In your books were winners and losers

How come real truth Seems so hard to find
In the wind that whispers
I hear your voice on my lips
I see you’re bright eyes
Peeking round the sun
Mama, Mama, what have they done to you
Mama, Mama, what have they done to you

about
KCJ RAR York, UK
KCJ RAR's Project Retoons, recreating my songs from the 70's and 80's, layering vocals, guitars and virtual instruments to
create classic rock numbers that never were; symphonic prog epics that could have been; and avant-garde psychedelic art rock grooves that surely fill a gap in music history!
In short, a lot of fun reliving my youth.
