Poor mum Poor mum After a lifetime of dreaming Poor mum Poor mum Whatever became of your scheming Nothing worked out in the way that you planned Nothing was quite as you thought Try very hard not to misunderstand Joy as it flies cannot be caught Poor mum Poor mum Where did you take a wrong turning Poor mum Poor mum Pack up that last little yearning Pack it away with the books and the toys Silent and bound Silent and mend Go out and grab at you life and forget You are poor, poor mum
