Mother Stands For Comfort

Jane Birkin

Compositor: Kate Bush

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

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?

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