Put Down That Heavy Kettle
Put down the heavy kettle I was not
a good mother I was a
good mother a little bit
pequeño pequeñito
pequeñissimo
a glass of wine
it’s after midnight just one the usual
swearing swearing
swearing
I was not a good mother I was
a good mother the tide moves
in the trees someone watches
from a window someone
who should get out
