lyrics

MUMMA WHAT A LIFE

Verse

Darkness through my windowpane
nobody left nobody came
lazy days and autumn rain, i was on my own again
love can’t succeed times endless plight
nobody’s wrong nobody’s right
black is blue and grey turns white
wont you stay by me tonight
oh oh mumma what a life.

Chorus

though your face is growin old
though your heart has turned to stone
you give a love
you give a love
oh oh mumma what a life.

Verse

down the alley where the cold wind blows
dream believers livin alone
everybodys gone theres nowhere to go
lookin for direction home
crippled from loves lasting hate
survivals lust survive we must
empty paths and golden gates across a land of twisted view
oh oh mumma what a life.

Verse

reflections lyin in the mornin haze
eyes are blue hearts ablaze
your mind is achin and your so amazed
please don’t let it slide away
star gazin till the sun comes round
sometimes im up sometimes im down
without a word without a sound
we could slip away
i said oh oh mumma what a life

Chorus

though your face is growin old
though your heart has turned to stone
you give a love
you give a love
oh oh mumma what a life.

Verse

aint no protection for misguided hands
shifting sands and changin plans
play the game your laughter’s lame
but where still got so far to go
people can’t remember how to act
from so many years of distorted facts
vanity fears and lifelong tears
throwing shadows in deep despair
oh oh mumma what a life x3.
