Where the Heart Is - Soft Cell

Atmospheres are tense today

Mother and father are growling again

Silently seated around the table

You’re the one that’s getting the blame

Father looks at you like a snake

You play with the food upon your plate

Noone seems to be on your side

Things that threaten to hurt your pride

Mothers love to be concerned

Using lessons that she learned

Fathers never undestand

When children have the upper hand

Smiling you did your time at school

Crying quietly like a fool

Saturday night and Sunday morning

Did all the things they asked you to do They say that home is where the heart is But home is only where the hurt is Pull the wool over the eyes

Forget your worries that you started

Mothers love to be concerned

Using lessons that she learned

Fathers never undestand

When children have the upper hand

When you stay out every night

The first time from your bedroom site

Started to show some concern

But by then it was too late

Fear it’s time to pull away

Shut yours ears to all they say

Be yourself you know it’s true

Because in the end what’s left is you

Mothers love to be concerned

Using lessons that she learned

Fathers never undestand

When children have the upper hand

Mother loves to be concerned

Using lessons that she learned

Father nevers undestand

When children have the upper hand
