Del Amitri - Some Mothers Do Have Them lyrics

Some mothers do have them
Those no mum would choose
But you and I we know now
They're all sons ever lose
A little time to sleep before they die
A little time to never say goodbye

Some mothers do have them
The quiet ones the geeks
And you and I we know now
Must've come across like freaks
A lot of time alone to play guitar
A lot of nights grasping through the dark
What we were looking for was
Hiding in thе liner sleeves
Maybe wе took it all too
Hard or too seriously
Some mothers do have them
Now we just have you and me you and me

Some mothers do have them
So whatcha gonna do?
They're gonna go their own way
It ain't up to you
So little time to tell them not to fear
But every mother has to disappear
