Lyrics
Mother Knows Best
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mummy's little monsters ruled the world from camden town to bethnal green
Two into one hand on the gun sharing the same dream for her boys
She'd lay down and die to hide the devil in you
Unconditional love cracked the egg, away her small birds flew
Mother knows best you know she loves you
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world or were you misconceived
If you dry the lake at victoria park tell me what would you see
Stronger than steel the ties that bind the family's apron strings
Born to be violent on this earth you made the sixties swing
Mother knows best you know she loves you
