9. I Wish I Was Your Mother

[Verse 1]

I scream at you for sharing

And I curse you just for caring

I hate the clothes you're wearing, they're so pretty

And I tell you not to see me

And I tell you not to feel me

And I make your life a drag, it's such a pity

[Verse 2]

And I watch your warm glow palin'

And I watch your sparkle fadin'

As you realise you're failin', 'cos you're so good

Now I don't mean to upset you

But there's so much crime to get through

If only I could make it easier, then I would

[Chorus]

Oh, I wish I was your mother

I wish I'd been your father

And then I would have seen you

Would have been you as a child

And played houses with your sisters

And wrestled all your brothers

And then who knows I might have

Felt a family for a while

[Verse 3]

It's no use me pretendin'

You give and I do the spendin'

Is there a happy ending, I don't think so

'Cos even if we make it

I'll be too far out to take it

You'll have to try and shake it from my head

Oooooh

[Chorus]

I wish I was your mother

I wish I'd been your father

And then I would have seen you

Would have been you as a child

Played houses with your sisters

And wrestled all your brothers

And then who knows I might have

Felt a family for a while
