This continues with the theme of frustrations at home, and the desire to be an individual but a restraint from disconnection from that same home. This is a big phase in life and has so much variability from person to person.
This song is told from the perspective of someone who’s in between Anderso...
Did you hear mother
Saying I'm wrong but I know I'm right
Did you hear father?
Calling my name into the night
Saying I'll never be what I am now
Telling me I'll never find what I've already found
It was they who were wrong
And for them here's a song
Did you hear baby
Come back and tell you the things he's seen
Did it surprise you
To be picked up at eight in a limousine?
Doing the things he's accustomed to do
Which at one time it seemed like a dream
Now it's true
And unknowing
You made it all happen this way
Did you hear mother
Saying I'm wrong but I know I'm right
Did you hear father?
Calling my name into the night
Saying I'll never be what I am now
Telling me I'll never find what I've already found
It was they who were wrong
And for them here's a song
