Mother's Ruin Lyrics - Singles - Maccoll Kirsty

(Kirsty MacColl/Pete Glenister) 

'Mother's ruin' 

She said to herself 

'I'm just screwing my own mental health' 

But Fridays and Saturdays 

She walks down those alleyways 

A latter day lady of the lamp 

How you doing? 

You ain't from round here 

Won't you come in? 

I'm really not scared- 

'Cause Fridays and Saturdays 

I still do it anyways 

And anything is better than out here 

Now don't wake me up again 

Don't let me feel anything 

But when you go 

Let me dream that I go with you 

So I won't cry myself dry anymore 

Mothers ruin 

Their own little girls 

Keep them dreaming 

There's more to this world 

But turn her the other way 

And every day's Father's Day 

He stays until there's nothing left to say 

But don't wake me up again 

Don't let me feel anything 

But when you go 

Let me dream that I go with you 

So I won't cry myself dry anymore 

Now don't wake me up again 

Don't let me feel anything 

But when you go 

Let me dream that I go with you 

So you won't make my heart ache anymore 

Leave the light on and don't shut the door
