Mama Chin's
from Northcroft by Roger Heathers
lyrics
My friend fear is teaching me a couple of lessons
Might end here
Or maybe I don't know
Got me standing in the rainfall
Got waiting for the call
Got me pinning things together
I don't understand at all
I am here
But childish in the way I throw stones
Might make tea
Or maybe have a chinese takeaway
No, you steer
I'm driving in the wrong direction
Almost there
This map is growing all the time
Beat me to the queue at lunchtime
Did you grab me there?
I don't know
Is it real or just delusion?
Will it ever let me go?
My friend fear
Is misleading every time I imagine
All I fear
Is the worst that it could be
I accept it may have happened
All I want is to be free
Got me worrying and thinking
Anxiety's a cloud of dust
And if your track record's to go by
Then you're something I can't trust
Might end here
Or maybe I don't know
Got me standing in the rainfall
Got waiting for the call
Got me pinning things together
I don't understand at all
I am here
But childish in the way I throw stones
Might make tea
Or maybe have a chinese takeaway
No, you steer
I'm driving in the wrong direction
Almost there
This map is growing all the time
Beat me to the queue at lunchtime
Did you grab me there?
I don't know
Is it real or just delusion?
Will it ever let me go?
My friend fear
Is misleading every time I imagine
All I fear
Is the worst that it could be
I accept it may have happened
All I want is to be free
Got me worrying and thinking
Anxiety's a cloud of dust
And if your track record's to go by
Then you're something I can't trust
