Child of Mine

Do you remember 1988?
I don't cause I wasn't born yet
I heard it was a good year for weed and for wine
I heard it was a good year for lying
My mother told me that I was born angry
Thursdays child still a-crying

She sat me down with the ghosts that she'd found
Told me I'd never make it alive
It's a curse, It's a curse of your birth

Some can bear weight and they'll carry it through
And some women will never be fine
It's an affliction
A predisposition
And you are a child of mine
You are a child of mine

I don't remember when she said it first
But i remember the sound of the words
I couldn't sleep then and I still can't now
My mind is broken
My voice is too loud
Was it dramatic or a fucked up learnt habit?
Tell me mum what you think?

She sat me down with the ghosts that she'd found
Told me I'd never make it alive
It's a curse
It's a curse of your birth

Some can bear weight and they'll carry it through
And some women will never be fine
It's an affliction
A predisposition
And you are a child of mine
You are a child of mine

I sometimes wonder if I'm a psychopath
I fit the profile if you do the math
I find it hard to feel much when its sad
I find a way to turn everything bad
I'm still suspicious that I took the scissors
Just to see what they'd do

She sat me down with the ghosts she found
Told me i'd never make it alive
It's a curse
It's a curse of your birth

Some can bear weight and they'll carry it through
And some women will never be fine
It's an affliction
A predisposition
And you are a child of mine
You are a child of mine
