The Strange Case of Maxim Gorky's Heritage

from Unarranged by Matt Kaye

/

lyrics

I called my mother, but my mother didn’t come.
She bought me magazines when I was young.
And then she disappeared into thin air
among the smoke and Elvis singing “I got stung”.

But I can’t say that she abandoned me, oh no.
And I can’t say she was a bitch even tho it’s true.
Why, she gave me my first guitar, Fender Japan,
so I could dream I play in Hamburg with John and Stu ...

I called my mother, but my mother called in sick.
Too many lovers, Frank Sinatra would have said.
Well, I don’t know, I grew among the boardwalk guys,
but I know for sure Jesus didn’t make up her dying bed.
