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
    Disposessed from the outset
    What you need 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 dearest
    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 the 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
