martyn joseph - working mother (2008) lyrics
[verse 1]
catch the early shoppers train
leaves leeds around half+past eight
with women who are harrods bound
from headscarfed harrogate
i change my clothes at kings cross
from bland to vivid bait
i’m a working mother
earning jam for tea
[verse 2]
in a hotel called the harlequin
with carpets slightly bald
i offer several services
at least that’s what they’re called
there’s no real variation
in a fifteen minute maul
i’m a working mother
earning jam for tea
[chorus]
working mother under cover
got another violent kiss
working mother, pop+up lover
am i worth more than this?
oh, tell me now
yeah, yeah
[verse 3]
my husband drove his hgv
down through france and spain
he’d always add three extra days
so he could go and see elaine
they’re now in alicante
where it does not rain (they say, “h+ll, i wouldn’t know”)
i’m a working mother
praying to get home
[chorus]
working mother under cover
got another violent kiss
working mother, pop+up lover
am i worth more than this?
oh, tell me now
yeah, yeah
[verse 4]
alice is a princess
she loves barbie dolls and pink
my little wayne’s three years older
and he wants his own ice+skating rink
and one day they’ll know, i guess
which time i could be dead from the drink
you see these are my babies, right?
they need an earning mother tonight
so you please don’t tell ’em how
how i’m a working mother
[chorus]
working mother under cover
got another violent kiss
working mother, pop+up lover
am i worth more than this?
working mother under cover
got another violent kiss
working mother, pop+up lover
am i worth more than this?
well, tell me now
[outro]
working mother
praying to get home tonight
to my kids as they sleep together in a double bed
with everything we own in the world
so come on, mister
one more trick, sir?
one more little bit of what you’d like
won’t cost you too much
just my taxi ride home tonight
yes, yes, yes, yes
but don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
please don’t say
oh, i’m a working mother, hey
