Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song My Own Mother's Son , by - Paul Heaton. Song from the album What Have We Become, in the genre АльтернативаMy Own Mother's Son |
| I was sittin' in the dark of a summer park |
| Playing paper, scissors, and stone |
| Minding my own |
| But playin' alone |
| When I noticed all the rest in their shorts and vests |
| Singing Harrison’s 'Here Comes the Sun' |
| I needed a gun |
| The fight had begun |
| I did not go to song, you see |
| The song just came to me |
| Like afternoon to evening shade |
| Like lumberjack to tree |
| It pinned me down like wrestler |
| And would not let me be |
| Held me down in deathly grip |
| The count of '1,2,3' |
| I’ve been fanning the flames of heated debate |
| Since 1978 |
| Left the teacher shocked |
| At the old school gate |
| So I walked away in the month of May |
| With the long-distance vision of June |
| Hummin' a tune |
| Payback soon |
| I did not choose the melody |
| The tune just called my name |
| And after just one taste of it |
| I knew just where to aim |
| I did not clamber onto stage |
| Fame just blinded me |
| I did not wander, open mouth |
| For world to disagree |
| Life is never easy |
| When you’ve tattooed on your tongue |
| Very rarely 'Am I right?' |
| But never 'Am I wrong?' |
| From arguments that came to me |
| To songs I always sung |
| I’m my own worst enemy |
| And my own mother’s son |
| I’m my own mother’s son… |
| Mm, own mother’s son… |
| Own mother’s son… |
| Own mother’s son… |
| That I can’t deny… |
| My own mother’s son… |
| My own mother’s son… |
