Some Mothers Do Have Them
Unveiling Life's Quirks Through Del Amitri's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Some mothers do have them
Some mothers possess such children
Those no mum would choose
Children that no mother would actively choose
But you and I we know now
The speaker and the listener understand this now
They're all sons ever lose
These children are all that sons ever lose
A little time to sleep before they die
There's a brief period before their death
A little time to never say goodbye
There's a small amount of time before they depart without saying goodbye
Some mothers do have them
Again, some mothers have such children
The quiet ones the geeks
These children are the quiet ones, the geeks
And you and I we know now
The speaker and listener now understand this
Must've come across like freaks
They might have appeared odd or out of place
A lot of time alone to play guitar
They spent a lot of time alone playing the guitar
A lot of nights grasping through the dark
They experienced many nights navigating through darkness
What we were looking for was hiding in the liner sleeves
They were seeking something that was concealed in the album sleeves
Maybe we took it all too hard or too seriously
Perhaps they took things too seriously or struggled intensely with it
Some mothers do have them
Once more, some mothers have such children
Now we just have you and me
Now, it's only the speaker and the listener
You and me
Emphasis on the connection between the speaker and the listener
Some mothers do have them
Reiteration that some mothers possess these children
So whatcha gonna do?
What actions will you take?
They're gonna go their own way
These children will follow their own paths, it's beyond control
It ain't up to you
It's not within one's authority or decision-making
So little time to tell them not to fear
There's little time to advise them not to be afraid
But every mother has to disappear
Every mother has to vanish or disappear eventually
