amanda palmer - look mummy, no hands lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
remember the fairmont
the two of us there, mom
by the merry-go-round?
i stood there entranced
as the bright horses danced
to a magical sound
just a dollar for pleasure untold
and i rode in a whirl of scarlet and gold

[chorus]
look, mummy, no hands
i’m riding the roundabout all by myself
look, mummy, no hands
i called as i p-ssed her, faster and faster
“hold on tight, darling”
she called out in fear
but i laughed and pretended
that i couldn’t hear
how careless we are when we’re young

[verse 2]
remember the years
of the sulks and the tears
do you recall?
i hated you when you said
be back by ten
i knew it all
always asking to know what i’d done
when as far as i knew, i was just having fun

[chorus]
look, mummy, no hands
i know how to take good care of myself
look, mummy, no hands
please don’t be a bore, ’cause i know the score
she tried to warn me
but i didn’t heed her
i was grown up
and i didn’t need her
how careless we are when we’re young

[verse 3]
remember the daughter
and all that you taught her?
she’s grown up at last
with a child of her own
she struggles alone
as the years all rush p-ss
but now you’re not there to answer her call
you’re not there to catch her when she stumbles and falls

[chorus]
look, mummy, no hands
i’m having to do it all by myself
look, mummy, no hands
i used to dismiss you, now i just miss you
as my child grows away from me
i feel my heart sinking
i look back and smile
and i find myself thinking
how careless we are when we’re young
