Mother

Please forgive me mother - You said I'd never survive alone

Swimming in and out of dreams that you could

Never piece together in the silence you lost

You bore the cost - For this: The ring on your finger

Happiness was a Sunday afternoon

Mummy and Daddy are fighting next door

The neighbours complained to the wife of the landlord

The small hand's on the nine and the big hand's on ten

It's time for the children to go to bed again

(Good bye Mother, forgive me and all my sins - Say

They are forgotten - And so ... To bed)

Pull down the blinds and turn on the music

You gotta roll off - I'm gonna roll on

Turn off your mind and roll to the music

I'm gonna go POP before it's begun

Please forgive me mother if I appear to be far away

Slipping in and out of arms that try to

Hold me down for ever till the dust us do part

Hand on my heard: It's true

A light in your window

Suppertime

The shipwreck of your life!

Poor little Dinah, she's leaving home:

She's going to marry a man in a hurry

Monday and Tuesday still on the phone

And mother can't work for a while though worrying

(Good bye Mother, you tried so to put the blame on

The world around you and so ... to bed)
