[00:00.00]I Wish I Was Your Mother (Live from Sentrum Scene, Oslo / 2002) - Ian Hunter
[00:39.35]I scream at you for sharing
[00:43.70]I curse you just for caring
[00:47.46]I hate the clothes you're wearing
[00:51.40]They're so pretty
[00:55.93]I tell you not to see me
[01:00.27]I tell you not to feel me
[01:05.54]I make your life a drag
[01:08.20]It's such a pity
[01:13.07]I watch your warm glow palin'
[01:17.33]I watch your sparkle fadin'
[01:21.62]As you realize you're failin'
[01:25.57]'Cause you're so good
[01:30.27]Oh I don't mean to upset you
[01:34.43]But there's so much crime to get through
[01:39.80]If I could make it easier then I would
[01:47.38]I wish I was your mother
[01:51.59]I wish I'd been your father
[01:55.85]And then I would have seen you
[01:59.82]Would have been you as a child
[02:06.49]Played houses with your sisters
[02:11.30]And wrestled with all your brothers
[02:15.44]And then who knows
[02:17.65]I might have felt a family for a while
[03:15.74]It's no use me pretending
[03:19.61]You give and I do the spending
[03:24.79]Is there a happy ending
[03:27.73]I don't think so
[03:32.47]'Cause even if we make it
[03:36.49]I'll be too far out to take it
[03:41.79]You'll have to try
[03:43.08]And shake it from my head
[03:49.24]I wish I was your mother
[03:53.85]I wish I'd been your father
[03:57.90]And then I would have seen you
[04:01.72]Would have been you as a child
[04:08.51]Played houses with your sisters
[04:12.74]And wrestled with all your brothers
[04:17.40]And then who knows
[04:19.38]I might have felt a family for a while
