Kate Bush - Mother Stands For Comfort (Lyrics)

Song: Mother Stands for Comfort
Artist: Kate Bush
Album: Hounds of Love
Year: 1985
Lyrics
She knows that I've been doing something wrong
But she won't say anything
She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday
But she won't mind me lying
Mmm, because...
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will hide the murderer
It breaks the cage and fear escapes and takes possession
Just like a crowd rioting inside
Make me do this, make me do that
Make me do this, make me do that
Am I, the cat that takes the bird
To her the hunted, not the hunter?
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will hide the murderer
Mother hides the madman
Mother will stay mum
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will stay mum
She stands for comfort
History
This song is about a mother’s protecting nature, her unconditional love, even though her child committed a crime. “In this case she’s the mother of a murderer”, Kate Bush said in an interview.
The eery synth sounds compliment the lyrical topic. Furthermore, there are sounds of breaking glass and snares that resemble gun shots.
“Mother Stands for Comfort” is the only song on side 1 of Hounds of Love which wasn’t released as a single.
