The Broken Family Band - Mother O'Jesus lyrics

I've got a song that could make you feel better But this isn't it, I will write you a note And explain how the family needs you at home With your clothes and your money and news of your life And then we'll fill you in on the times that we've had And the things that you missed ah you know there ain't much Just the Mother O'Jesus and she's building a home For the children of the lie Dave got a cold and Sally got married And your dad built a car out of virtually nothing But I'm spoiling the fun so I'll save all the rest For the day you get home from being away And the garden's so pretty this time of year But it ain't gonna last All the colors disappear and get muddied and washed out And people get tired of waiting around like this And oh what she's done with the kids its like a miracle Nothing gets done when you're putting people down Everyone loves you here And oh what she's done with the kids its like a miracle Nothing gets fixed by putting people down Everyone loves you here I had a song that could have made you feel better But that wasn't it, look I'll send you a tape You can wait for a while and we'll save it all up For the day you come home and start freaking us out We haven't felt better than this for a while But it ain't gonna last, we're outstripping the style And it won't be complete without you in the pack Aw, say ya ain't coming home And oh what she's done with the kids is like a miracle Nothing gets done when you're putting people down Everyone loves you, yeah And oh what she's done with the kids is like a miracle Nothing gets fixed by putting people down Everyone loves you, yeah Everyone loves you, yeah
