Mother

My memories of the sounds
And the smells of childhood
Remind me of what you gave me
To make my life so good.
When I was hurting and didn't know why
You somehow understood.
That love you gave so freely
Is something I will always remember.
The woman who was mother to me
Will be a part of me forever.
Forever's not too long to love you,
But a lifetime
Will have to do.







(1995?)

But then again...

"Mother"

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like the song
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls
Ooooh aah, Mother should I build a wall
Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Ooooh aah, is it it just a waste of time
Hush now baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your
Nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here
Under her wing
she won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama will keep baby cosy and warm
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe
Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall

Mother do think she's good enough for me
Mother do think she's dangerous to me
Mother will she tear your little boy apart
Oooh aah, mother will she break my heart
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all your girl friends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up till you come in
Mama will always find out where
You've been
Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe
You'll always be a baby to me
Mother, did it need to be so high.

Thanks guys for all of your replies. It occurred to me that that one would be topical, because it was so close to Mother's Day (here in the USA) when I posted it. As for the one by Pink Floyd, I'm not quite sure what that one is apropos of. ;-)

It's simply song lyrics, but I thought I'd post it there due to the subject matter. ;-)

Yes, I understand that (about the Pink Floyd song), but I'm still trying to figure out what it's about. :?

:)
