Radio Flora TM More music, more variety
Album: John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band
“Mother” was released on December 28, 1970
Lennon wrote this while he was undergoing “Primal Scream” therapy, where he was dealing with a lot of issues that were detailed in the lyrics: He lost his mother at a crucial period in his life to a drunk-driving, off-duty policeman who ran her over in a crosswalk, and his aunt Mimi raised him, which explains the line, “Mother you had me, but I never had you.” His father, a merchant seaman, left him for the sea and for work. “I wanted you, you didn’t need me” explains his feelings about his dad. Lennon’s primal screaming on this song expresses the pain of his childhood.
Lyrics
Mother, you had me
but i never had you
i wanted you
but you didn’t want me
so
i got to tell you
goodbye
goodbye
father, you left me
but i never left you
i needed you
but you didn’t need me
so
i just got to tell you
goodbye
goodbye
Children, don’t do
what i have done
i couldn’t walk
and i tried to run
so
i got to tell you
goodbye
goodbye
Mama don’t go
daddy come home
mama don’t go
daddy come home
mama don’t go
daddy come home
mama don’t go
daddy come home
