Motherdust
By Bevis Frond
From the album
"A Gathering of Fronds"
Here is a great BF song with one of his cleverest lyrics, telling the tale of a
mother/son relationship in question/answer format. The tune is simple but
effective and fun to play. Just play the power/barre chords throughout.

Oh you are a horrid child[/tab]
Weak as piss and running wild
Suspect eyes, a studied glare
Hollow gaze and tile-hung hair
Blame me not for the things I do
I speak in tongues I learned fom you
Never put your faith in trust
Just cover me with Motherdust
Oh you are a sight to see
Black sheep of the family
Hign on ego, sure to fall
A disappointment to us all
Do not lay your guilt on me
By hating what you wrong to me
For you and I result in us
Well cover me with Motherdust
Oh you are a foolish kid
If I d have done the things you did
I never would have got this far
And you d be wiser than you are
I have no manners to excuse
A privelege is to abuse
For what in life is fair and just?
Weel cover me with Motherdust
Oh you are a spiteful boy
Your sole concern is to annoy
The little lad I loved has gone
I wonder where I went so wrong
Impale me not on failure s spike
For we are very much alike
And people do what people must
Just cover me with Motherdust
For I m your Child
I m your Child
I m your Child...
