Mother Stands For Comfort

Kate Bush

She knows that I've been doing something wrong, 
But she won't say anything. 
She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday, 
But she won't mind me lying, 
Because 

Mother stands for comfort. 
Mother will hide the murderer. 

It breaks the cage, and fear escapes and takes possession, 
Just like a crowd rioting inside. 
(Make me do this, make me do that, make me do this, make me do that...) 
Am I the cat that takes the bird? 
To her the hunted, not the hunter. 

Mother stands for comfort. 
Mother will hide the murderer. 
Mother hides the madman. 
Mother will stay mum. 

Mother stands for comfort. 
Mother will hide the murderer. 
Mother hides the madman. 
Mother will stay mum.
