[Verse 1]
She knows that I've been doing something wrong
But she won't say anything
She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday
But she won't mind me lying
Mmm, because

[Chorus 1]
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will hide the murderer

[Verse 2]
It breaks the cage and fear escapes and takes possession
Just like a crowd rioting inside
Make me do this, make me do that
Make me do this, make me do that
Am I the cat that takes the bird?
To her the hunted, not the hunter

[Chorus 2]
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will hide the murderer
Mother hides the madman
Mother will stay mum

[Chorus 3]
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will stay mum
She stands for comfort

Kate Bush is an art pop singer and songwriter from Bexleyheath, a suburb of London, England. Her debut single “Wuthering Heights” hit number one on the UK charts in 1978, winning her a Brit award for best female performance, and propelling her into fame.

She went on to write, record and produce ten studio albums including her UK bestselling fifth album, Hounds of Love in 1985.

She is known for her experimental musical style and live performances, but has only toured twice – first in 1979 then 35 years later in 2014 – both of which have received releases in the form of either an EP, LP and/or video.
