Description

If you're familiar with the track 'Mother' (also on MacJams.com) you'll recognise this track. Actually it's just an earlier legacy mix of the aforementioned track 'Mother'. A couple of things to note a) there are no horns in this version, b) the guitars are mixed louder and slightly heavier, c) the mix is a bit more wet, d) the whole thing comes across a bit rockier (keep an ear out for the little guitar bit at the end in place of the horns in the original) e) this was just a temporary mix.
I posted this on MacJams just as a curio and to fill a gap whilst I work on new material. If it goes down well I might post some more legacy material. If you liked 'Mother' then here's another spin on the tune - if you don't like 'Mother' I'd try something else. Be cool :-)

Lyrics

yeah - i know my mum is very special - that's what the people say, but no-one's seen the old bird in quite a while now, nah - not since she was put away. the men in white came one day, she had froth upon her face. she kicked, she spat and hissed at them - as they dragged her from this place. [this is a fucked up world] yeah yeah - i know people say i'm like my mum - in loads of ways. yeah - i steal, i swear and i've got curly hair and i'll turn tricks coz it pays! next week the parole board meets to decide my mother's fate [yeah yeah yeah] and if all goes well she leaves her cell and bernard - her lesbian lover [this is a fucked up world] and i could blame her for all my faults [she's a mental], but that is something i refuse [she's a mental], coz there's no fate but what we make* [she's a mental] and life is something we must choose [yeah].

	Thanks Pie. Even being familiar with the "other" version of this great tune it's nice to hear a more raw version. God I love this song. Anyway, thanks for giving me something to bridge the gap between your rockin' songs! Rock on! Check out my latest song called By Your Window

	Delicious slice of Pie... You put it all together in this song. Almost as much a rock as much as punk/grunge. I really am amazed at how good your vocals, guitar, everything sounds. Top tune. Jack

	Not yet familiar With the first version posted, but I'll look it up. This is a great song. Good story, good punk attitude. I might be tempted to pare it down even further (not sure the music box in the intro was needed.) Check out my latest song called Big Bad World - Live 1-16-2009 plus - MJRF

	Excellent! Great to actually hear a British accent in this tune! Truly a creatively professional production. Great guitar playing. Great harmonizing. Glad you yanked the horns. Really strong submission. Thx for posting this one.

	I love both It's all great. Even as an earlier version this is some seriously pro-quality stuff. Looks like you got hit by the uno-bomber. Friggin' wanker trolls. No matter, we all know this song rules. Check out my latest song called Iridium Flare (2013 Re-Release)

Hello Mum
quirky as Blur but those vocals are really Police-y. That vocal line at the end is just STING...I thought you were Chris Difford after the first one but now I reckon you're Gordon Sumner..

Excellent production, wonderful full, rich guitar sound. I'm not surprised it takes you so long to put this stuff out...it's sellably good (as they say in Taiwan).

Right at the very top of the heap..

p.s.Who are you....?

Check out my latest song called Real Slow

	Mother Legacy Very good. Sounds just like a "proper" recording. Don't you just love the fact that you produced such a professional sound using kit that cost a fraction of what it would have been a couple of years back? Thank you Apple and Mr Pie. Check out my latest song called To the Dump

So good
I really like this version. It is cleaner, somehow more
personal to me, more onstage alive. Really love the
combination of no care stylings and Sting-like lazy
articulations that work so well in both the genre and the
specific song's conceptual content. Excellent mixing (altho
some cymbal hits seem too distant, which is, I realize,
absurdly nitpicky). The is just so good. Love the
storytelling, especially, the psychological layers, and the
fantastic vocal performances and overall guitar work.

my mum too
Mum says thanks for the catchy tune. Really fun to listen
too. Reminded me of a trip to the grocery when I hid a
bunch of liqour bottles underneath mums things. When
we arrived at the check out i began to yell at her that I
wasn't gonna take her out on any more weekend passes if
she continued to try and hide liqour..... turned a few
heads...and turned her purple , she's blue now......thanks
again for the craziness
