Gold Mother - James

Heart of gold heart of gold heart of gold

One body in my mother’s belly

Chinese dolls, box in boxes

How do you sail the ship from the bottle?

How do you sail the ship from the bottle?

Heart of gold heart of gold heart of gold

Gold, gold mother, gold, gold, gold mother

I can see the head now

Between her legs now

Purple headed alien

Water logged old man

In the blood silence

In the blood silence

Silence, silence

Cry for me mother cry for me mother Crimean mother cry me another

My feet and hands won’t work

My feet and hands won’t work

In my baby’s body

My brand new baby’s body

I’ll suck my fingers red

I’ll suck my fingers red

In my baby’s body

My brand new baby’s body

I can see the head now

Between her legs now

Purple headed alien

Water logged old man

In the blood silence

In the blood silence

Silence

Silence

Silence

Shut up

In the bright lights and harsh sounds, there’s a man

In green ceremonial robes and mask, dipping a straw through your nose

Mouthwash of meconium lungs full of meconium

Heart full of meconium

Meconium

Meconium

Chinese dolls in boxes

Chinese dolls in boxes

I’ll go out the same way I came in

Chinese dolls in boxes

And everything you touch

And everything you love

And everything you touch

Turns to gold

As precious as

As rich as

As dear as

As strong as

As hard as

Gold

Mother

Past the boudaries of all pain

You journey to the edge of death in search of a child

Gold mother there’s only one

Gold mother and she’s mine

She’s all mine

Shut up let’s hear it

Shut up
