Mother Lyrics

Mother dear, you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear, you'll never be my sisterShow me empathy, Californian sensibilities
All my problems spring from my troubled upbringing
We need to go right back to the beginningDis-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, ouchMother, 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 blisterMother dear, you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear, you'll never be my sisterSo tell me what am I gonna do
They told me that maybe I could sue
And oh, how the many
Were corrupted by the fewSo 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 usMother 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 blisterMother dear, you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear, you'll never be my sisterThe 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 youYou see, I'm blameless
I had a mother who was shameless
No wonder my life collapsedSee I'm aimless
With all this analysis
I think I'm having a relapseMother 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 blisterMother 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 blisterWe love you, we do
We've taken advice
We may sueYou see I'm blameless
I shall remain nameless
You can't run away from the pastI know what her game is
But I've forgotten what my name is
I'm just too frightened to askTell me what did you expect
What you made is precisely what you get
Precisely what you get
Precisely what you get
