This is indeed a very stupid topic but I'm bored: have you noticed that Roger, Freddie and Brian all have some sort of complex about their parents?
Loser In The End, Bo Rhap, Liar, Tie Your Mother Down, Love Token, Strange Frontier ...
The question is: what's the deal with that? Why not Deacy?

You listed Liar as one of the mum/dad songs...I think you're wrong. When Freddie says "Father I have sinned," I think he meant God, not his father. After all, in the lyrics sheet it says Father not father. Their's a difference.
As to why John didn't compose a song mentioning one of or both of his parents that's because he didn't love them very much. It's sad really. :( lol
This is a very interesting topic...I was actually thinking about all the times Queen has used the word "momma" and it's quite silly really. I think Brian once said something about Freddie being afraid of his mother...then again I also heard Freddie's sister say he was a family kind of guy and would visit his mom as much as he could. Believe what you want to believe...

I may be wrong but doesn't Freddie sing "daddy I have stolen" or something like that in the 1971 demo?
Anyway, the list goes on: Father To Son, Business, Mother Love...

I wouldn't know anything about the Liar demo from 1971, but the finished product is what counts, and as far as I know it has no signs of somebody's father in Liar (Queen's debut album of course).
And yes, I totally agree that their were a lot of those mom/dad songs...let's not forget about Sail Away Sweet Sister. I know it has nothing to do with a mother or father, but it is about having a "sister."

Well, even if the "father" mentioned on Liar is God, there's still a reference to parents...
"Mamma I'm gonna be your slave..."

Not God, a priest. Although it is specifically forbidden in Matthew 23:9 ("Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven."), it is the usual way to address a Catholic priest.

Loser In The End: agreed.
Bo Rhap: agreed.
Liar: no. Used in a figurative sense for 'mother' and as a way of addressing a priest for 'father'
Tie Your Mother Down: the highly parents of a girlfriend, so I tend not to agree here.
Love Token: agreed.
Strange Frontier: diagree. Again, figurative usage.

Don't forget My fairy King "Mother Mercury look what they've done to me"
Did roger ever have any problems with his family??
you seem very convinced that god is a man?
What about "sire I have stolen", in 'Liar'? I certainly address every priest, bishop, deacon, etc as "father" but never have (or have heard anybody who has) been familiar with the use of "sire" in that case.
Regarding 'Strange Frontier', it could be figurative, but still I think it's more "personal" than 'Let's Get Crazy'; I mean, the latter is more like "Mamma" as in "cutie", while SF's "no more mum and no more dad" is sort of literal, I think...

It's in Queen: The Early Years; Roger has also mentioned in various interviews that he witnessed scenes of domestic violence in his childhood, if that sheds some light on the matter.
