lyrics
My son, I will keep you so safe and so warm
Cling to my breast and we'll weather this storm
You may be a bastard, but I'll take the blame
And maybe your future won't look quite the same
I'll clip your wings so you'll never quite fly
And I'll build this nest 'til it tickles the sky
So save all your similes, just what do they mean
There's something your mother can never keep clean
Oh my dirty bastard son
Don't be a poet, I'd rather you just be a fool
Don't be a poet, my son how could you be so cruel
Don't be a poet, I'd rather you just be a fool
