  • She knows that I've been doing something wrong
    But she won't say anything
    She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday
    But she won't mind me lying
    Because

    Mother stands for comfort
    Mother will hide the murderer

    It breaks the cage
    And fear escapes and takes possession
    Just like a crowd rioting inside
    Make me do this, make me do that
    Make me do this, make me do that
    Am I the cat that takes the bird
    To her the hunted, not the hunter?

    Mother stands for comfort
    Mother will hide the murderer
    Mother hides the madman
    Mother will stay mum

    Mother stands for comfort
    Mother will stay mum
    Stands for comfort Writer/s: Kate Bush
