Lucifer's Friend - Mother lyrics

Please forgive me mother - You said I'd never survive alone Swimming in and out of dreams that you could Never piece together in the silence you lost You bore the cost - For this: The ring on your finger Happiness was a Sunday afternoon Mummy and Daddy are fighting next door The neighbours complained to the wife of the landlord The small hand's on the nine and the big hand's on ten It's time for the children to go to bed again (Good bye Mother, forgive me and all my sins - Say They are forgotten - And so ... To bed) Pull down the blinds and turn on the music You gotta roll off - I'm gonna roll on Turn off your mind and roll to the music I'm gonna go POP before it's begun Please forgive me mother if I appear to be far away Slipping in and out of arms that try to Hold me down for ever till the dust us do part Hand on my heard: It's true A light in your window Suppertime The shipwreck of your life! Poor little Dinah, she's leaving home: She's going to marry a man in a hurry Monday and Tuesday still on the phone And mother can't work for a while though worrying (Good bye Mother, you tried so to put the blame on The world around you and so ... to bed)
