But she won’t mind me lying,

beautiful mother nature,
she looked at me with a smile on her face
then she started to cry,
she said: "why did my children forsake me?"
she felt like she was dying,

Well, the telephone is ringing,
Is that my mother on the phone?
Telephone is ringing
Is that my mother on the phone?

Mother are you mad at me
Mother are you scared
That someday you will turn around
And look to find your blue-eyed boy's not there

But mother don't you worry
Mother don't you fret
Cos we've been through so much pain and joy and suffering
For me to forget
The times we had together
Times that were so full (??)
But time's gone by before my eyes
And I realise
Time was often cruel
So mother don't you worry
Mother don't you cry
Cos there'll come a day
When I will take the reins
From your fair hands and wave bye bye
Bye bye read more »

We serve an old man in a dry season
A lighthouse keeper in the desert sun
Dreamers of sleepers and white treason
We dream of rain and the history of the gun
There's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia
A white house in a red square
I'm living in films for the sake of Russia
A Kino Runner for the DDR
And the fifty-two daugthers of the revolution
Turn the gold to chrome
Gift...nothing to lose
Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home, sing: read more »

Dear Mother
I'm lying on a white hot blanket
wishing you were here
we're a thousand miles from Cairo
and it's taken us a year to get this far read more »

Mother dear you’ll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you’ll never be my sister read more »

Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.
They don’t have anywhere to go;
Wandering around from door to door.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord. read more »
