Mother O'Jesus

I've got a song that could make you feel better

But this isn't it, I will write you a note

And explain how the family needs you at home

With your clothes and your money and news of your life

And then we'll fill you in on the times that we've had

And the things that you missed ah you know there ain't much

Just the Mother O'Jesus and she's building a home

For the children of the lie

Dave got a cold and Sally got married

And your dad built a car out of virtually nothing

But I'm spoiling the fun so I'll save all the rest

For the day you get home from being away

And the garden's so pretty this time of year

But it ain't gonna last

All the colors disappear and get muddied and washed out

And people get tired of waiting around like this

And oh what she's done with the kids its like a miracle

Nothing gets done when you're putting people down

Everyone loves you here

And oh what she's done with the kids its like a miracle

Nothing gets fixed by putting people down

Everyone loves you here

I had a song that could have made you feel better

But that wasn't it, look I'll send you a tape

You can wait for a while and we'll save it all up

For the day you come home and start freaking us out

We haven't felt better than this for a while

But it ain't gonna last, we're outstripping the style

And it won't be complete without you in the pack

Aw, say ya ain't coming home

And oh what she's done with the kids is like a miracle

Nothing gets done when you're putting people down

Everyone loves you, yeah

And oh what she's done with the kids is like a miracle

Nothing gets fixed by putting people down

Everyone loves you, yeah

Everyone loves you, yeah
