Mother Lyrics

Mother dear, you'll never be my sister Seek the advice of a solicitor Mother dear, you'll never be my sister
Show me empathy, Californian sensibilities All my problems spring from my troubled upbringing We need to go right back to the beginning
Dis-possessed from the outset What you made is precisely what you get Mother dear, it should be you that's sitting here On this couch, ouch
Mother, dear, you'll never be my sister Seek the advice of a solicitor Mother, dear, you'll never be my sister On my shoulder you're a chip On my foot you're a blister
Mother dear, you'll never be my sister Seek the advice of a solicitor Mother dear, you'll never be my sister
So tell me what am I gonna do They told me that maybe I could sue And oh, how the many Were corrupted by the few
So I dance the mambo and the cha cha cha I run you over in my beautiful car Dearest darling, mummy dear We can't bear to have you near us
Mother dear, you'll never be my sister Seek the advice of a solicitor Mother dear, you'll never be my sister On my shoulder you're a chip On my foot you're a blister
Mother dear, you'll never be my sister Seek the advice of a solicitor Mother dear, you'll never be my sister
The blame lies in the family name It's not my fault I did as I was taught Escape to Mongolia or Timbuktu I know somehow, somewhere I'll be bumping into you
You see, I'm blameless I had a mother who was shameless No wonder my life collapsed
See I'm aimless With all this analysis I think I'm having a relapse
Mother dear, you'll never be my sister Seek the advice of a solicitor Mother dear, you'll never be my sister On my shoulder you're a chip On my foot you're a blister
Mother dear, you'll never be my sister Seek the advice of a solicitor Mother dear, you'll never be my sister On my shoulder you're a chip On my foot you're a blister
We love you, we do We've taken advice We may sue
You see I'm blameless I shall remain nameless You can't run away from the past
I know what her game is But I've forgotten what my name is I'm just too frightened to ask
Tell me what did you expect What you made is precisely what you get Precisely what you get Precisely what you get
