Guests at the Table

CHORUS:
we are all guests at the table
a place has been set for us all
this banquet of life isn't just for the favoured
this feast was laid out for us ALL to share
pass the plates .....we all must savour
VERSE 1
Day after day we get lost in our micro-world struggles
We curse and we pray for a light at the end of a tunnel
Turning our head cos the light shines so bright
Blinding us all to our fellow guests plight
And while our plates are piled high....we just turn a blind eye
VERSE 2
As we all raise our glasses and toast to the end of the journey
We know that our paths have been scattered and crossed and trod soundly
We all bear our scars, some in view and some hidden
Some rise unscathed, some are beaten and broken
But we’ve survived and we’ve grown in a life....uniquely our own

Mean Mother

VERSE 1
She’s got a heart of stone and a bark like a little tin soldier
She’ got a look in her eye to strip paint and it says ‘I told y’er...’
‘...told ya once and I’m not gonna say it again,
grow a pair, get a backbone, stand up like a man, be more like me’
VERSE 2
she’s got venom in her veins and a tongue that’s dripping poison
and with her coven of bitches she sows her seeds of hate
she’s got a hide, like an alligator, she’s one mean mother, man-hater
she’s gonna take ‘em down, man-by-man,
she’s gonna make ‘em pay as hard as she can
she’s a tough mother, man, a real ball-breaker
BRIDGE:
And there ain’t no man on earth that can measure up
And with a woman like that how the hell does a man keep it up
It’s a helluva way to live, who could blame him for giving up
Walk out the door man, run for your life....
you’re living with a jailer that ain’t no wife
VERSE 3
God only knows what’s in such a woman’s mind
Revenge in her heart just makes a woman blind
The harder she looks for love, the less she’ll find
Cos if you’re gonna go fishing you need the right bait
But her tackle box is just filled with hate
She’s gonna end up with an empty plate .......
TAG;
See ya later
Alligator
Man-hater
Ball-breaker
