Mothers Talk

(album: Songs From The Big Chair - 1985)

My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out

When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows

When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows
We can work it out

It's not that you're not good enough
It's just that we can make you better
Given that you pay the price
We can keep you young and tender

Following the footsteps of a funeral pyre
You were paid not to listen
Now your house is on fire

Wake me up when things get started
When everything starts to happen

My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out

When the wind blows
(When the wind blows)
When the mothers talk
(When the mothers talk)
When the wind blows

When the wind blows
(When the wind blows)
When the mothers talk
(When the mothers talk)
When the wind blows

(We can—
Only we can work it out)

Some of us are horrified
Others never talk about it
But when the weather starts to burn
Then you'll know that you're in trouble

Following the footsteps of a soldier girl
It is time to put your clothes on
And to face the world

Don't you feel your luck is changing
When everything starts to happen
Put your head right next to my heart
The beat of the drum is the fear of the dark

My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out
My features form with a change in the weather
Better late than never
There's a change in the weather
We can work it out

When the wind blows
(When the wind blows)
When the mothers talk
(When the mothers talk)
When the wind blows

When the wind blows
(When the wind blows)
When the mothers talk
(When the mothers talk)
When the wind blows

(We can—
Only we can work it out
