Moloko - Mother lyrics

rate me

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 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
