Innocence And Guilt - Steve Harley, Cockney Rebel

dearest mama, everything will be all right now

i will be safe

it’s only that the outside which i have not seen

for so many long years

during my divine exile

makes me a little nervous, mama

but i think the time has come for your

unnamed warrior-child

to make his presence obvious

don’t you agree, mama?

mama, are you listening to me, mama?

are you there, mama?

mama, come back, come back, come back, come back

(mama: but i have things to do, dear)

Mama, i am blinded

i feel nothing save death

it all seems to come up from behind me and hit me like

an avalanche

i feel nothing save evil

repossess me, mama, repossess me, mama

help me to escape from this lunatic inheritance

repossess me, mama, REPOSSESS

(mama: ha-ha-hee-hee-ha)
