Lyrics for Song: Wouldn't Mama Be Proud?
Lyrics for Album: Figure 8 [2000]
The question is wouldn't mama be proud?
There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud
And the pretty post that you're taking as an NCO
of the great pretender?
I should sure think so!
Wouldn't mama be proud?
"Can I take your order?" asked the heavenly host
ticket to the jet stream blowing coast to coast
The long stem glasses, a movie and a pleasent dream in mid-air
"You gotta tell me quickly, cos we're almost there"
Wouldn't mama be proud?
Pointed out of the window at the sky gone black
"Kid you're on the right track"
If I send you a postcard from the side of the road
photographs of moving parts about to implode
If I called to keep it together like you say you know I cant do
to transmit the moment from me to you
wouldn't mama be proud?
wouldn't mama be proud?
wouldn't mama be proud?
wouldn't mama be proud?
