about

'I'm Not Your Mum' is a sassy song about feeling unappreciated by a loved one and throwing hands up in Defiance. The title 'I'm Not Your Mum' reflects the refusal to be passively pushed into a motherly role which inspired the 1950’s themed artwork, when gender roles where heavily implied and discontent with the status quo was coming to light.

lyrics

I only just got home
Don’t really wanna know
I thought you had it controlled
You said you had this one though

And of all the things you do
I do everything but times two
I left this up to you
I guess that’s my fault too

I think that we’ve gone over every single excuse
Or just reconvincing it’s me and not you
Pat my head and rub my belly at the same time
Watch as I walk across the wire

I think I’m done
Can only treat you like a kid
If you act like one
And don’t expect me to get it done
And cook your dinner for yourself
you know I’m not your mum

Some day’s I don’t exist
I start to wonder if you’d like it
Better if I wasn’t around
Is this only weighing us down

But I know I’m doing good
I’m doing even more than anyone should
You sit back enjoying the perks
While I am out here doing the work

And I think that we’ve gone over every single excuse
Or just reconvincing it’s me and not you
Pat my head and rub my belly at the same time
Watch as I walk across the wire

I think I’m done
Can only treat you like a kid
If you act like one
And don’t expect me to get it done
And cook your dinner for yourself
you know I’m not your mum
