Loudon Wainwright Iii - Movies Are A Mother To Me lyrics

The movies are a mother to me There's nothing like a movie To move me back to sanity When I've gone insane A rainy Tuesday or a Saturday night When I messes with me and then we start a fight We both head for the flicks Things come out alright We both enjoy that show When two brothers get bad and push each other around A mother can say things straight She can handle her boys Mum can calm them down She's got that special trait Sometimes I am my own enemy Sometimes my own enemy it is me Then, my enemy and me go see a good movie We come out friends again There's nothing like the silver screen To patch things up, to intervene To bridge the gap that lies between Loudon and himself
