Mother...(did it need to be so high?)




Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother, should I build the wall?
Mother, should I run for president?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Is it just a waste of time?

Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry.
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true,
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you,
Mama's gonna keep you right here, under her wing.
She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing,
Mama's will keep baby cozy and warm.
Ooh babe, Ooh babe, Ooh babe,
Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall.

Mother, do you think she's good enough, for me?
Mother, do you think she's dangerous, to me?
Mother, will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother, will she break my heart?

Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry.
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you,
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through,
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in.
Mama will always find out where you've been,
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooh babe, Ooh babe, Ooh babe,
You'll always be baby to me.

Mother, did it need to be so high?

Crazy, I almost posted this on Twitter yesterday. I didn't know there was a video, too. I think you know how much I love Sinead.

I remember so well when this originally aired. Sinead is in fine voice on this one.

This is actually my favorite Pink Floyd song of all-time (and that's saying something - considering) This particular version didn't leave my cd player for years - I used to get a grapefruit size lump in my throat on "Mother will she break my heart?" Wow, I still do.

Thanks Trix!
