[00:02.99]Mama, why did you do it?
[00:10.07]Mama, who drove you to it?
[00:17.08]
[00:20.14]Was it the pigs in grey suits persecuting you?
[00:29.66]Uncivil servants unconcerned at how they frighten you?
[00:38.74]Life is nothing much to lose
[00:48.39]It's just so lonely here without you
[00:54.76]
[00:57.54]Mama, why did you do it?
[01:06.91]Mama, who drove you to it?
[01:13.99]
[01:16.84]Spare priggish money-men who scared the life out of you
[01:26.65]Bailiffs with bad-breath, I will slit their throats for you
[01:35.66]Life is nothing much to lose
[01:45.40]It's just so lonely here without you, Mama
[01:55.82]
[02:27.76]Life is nothing much to lose
[02:37.65]It's just so lonely here without you, so
[02:46.49]We're gonna run to you
[02:48.74]We're gonna come to you
[02:50.82]We're gonna lie down beside you, Mama
[02:56.11]We're gonna be with you
[02:57.83]We're gonna join you
[03:00.27]We're gonna lie down beside you, Mama
[03:03.85]And we will be safe and sheltered in our graves
[03:13.62]We'll come before you and we will kiss you
[03:19.12]By way of one final hug, Mama
