lyrics

You're an "entrepreneur," babe
From your mum's settee — behave
Three-grand vape, a master plan
Drawn in ketchup on the kebab van

You said, "Trust me, it's my year"
You've said that since — oh dear
Your horoscope says you're a king
Your gas bill says another thing

I'm not your mum, I'm not your mum
I'll not iron your ego, hun
I'm not your mum, I'm not your mum
Wash your own pants — off you run
I'm not your mum, so here's the sum:
You're skint, I'm gone — ta-ra, chum

I boxed your life — one box did
Twenty-nine years in one box, kid
Fuck me, that's a tragic show
Even the tape read "fragile" — oh

I'm not your mum, I'm not your mum
I'll not iron your ego, hun
I'm not your mum, I'm not your mum
Wash your own pants — off you run
I'm not your mum, so here's the sum:
You're skint, I'm gone — ta-ra, chum

Your mum texted me last night
"You alright, love?" — Too right
I'm keeping her in the split
We're off for wine — deal with it

I'm not your mum, I'm not your mum
I'll not iron your ego, hun
I'm not your mum, I'm not your mum
Wash your own pants — off you run
I'm not your mum, so here's the sum:
You're skint, I'm gone — ta-ra, chum

Not your mum
Ta-ra, chum
