about

Dean:
"My mum used to jokingly have a go at me for not having written a song about her so this started out as just a bit of fun. Every now and then my mum comes out with these sayings like ‘you can’t break a cracked cup’. I felt I had to get that into a song. Will and I got together on it and it was just about there, but was still missing a few words. I was considering just setting it aside for another time, but then went on tour with Danny & The Champions Of The World in the UK. I was messing around with it in the dressing room one day and Danny said he really liked the sound of it and encouraged me to try and finish it. So while staying at Danny’s one night he helped me fill in the missing words"

lyrics

Chorus
Mother, you’re my mother
You gave me everything, I’ll never wish the world away

Saying all the right stuff
Like ‘you can’t break a cracked cup’
I still hear those words everyday
Always standing by me, a picture that I see
And you’re smiling with your eyes

Chorus
Mother, you’re my mother
You gave me everything, I’ll never wish the world away
Mother, you’re my mother
And I’m your son

Sometimes when I lose track
I hear your voice it brings me back
Oh you show me the way
You see the best in everyone, made us a happy home
You’re my old mum, bless your heart

Chorus
Mother, you’re my mother
You gave me everything, the voice with which I sing this song
Mother, you’re my mother
And I’m your son

I wouldn’t want to spite you
I wouldn’t want to fight you
Just want to see you laughing at it all
