Lyrics
0:31You're a fraud and you know it
0:35But it's too good to throw it all away
0:38Anyone would do the same
0:40You've got 'em going
0:42And you're careful not to show it
0:44Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit
0:48It's like magic
0:50But it's always been a smoke and mirrors game
0:53Anyone would do the same
1:09So now that you've arrived well you wonder
1:14What is it that you've done to make the grade
1:17And should you do the same
1:18Is that too easy
1:21Are you only trying to please them
1:23Will they see then
1:24You're desperate to deliver
1:28Anything that could give you
1:30A sense of reassurance
1:32When you look in the mirror
1:49Such highs and lows
1:55You put on quite a show
2:03All these highs and lows
2:08And you're never really sure
2:11What you do it for
2:12Well do you even want to know
2:18You put on quite a show
2:34Mother
2:38Are you watching
2:41Are you watching
2:43Mother
2:44Are you watching
2:46Mother
2:47You're a fraud and you know it
2:54And every night and day you take the stage
2:57And it always entertains
2:59You're giving pleasure
3:02And that's admirable you tell yourself
3:04And so you'd gladly sell yourself
3:06To others
3:07Mother
3:09Are you watching
3:11Mother
3:12Are you watching
3:14Mother
3:15Are you watching
3:17Mother
3:18Are you watching
3:20Are you watching
3:30Such highs and lows
3:44You put on quite a show
3:51All these highs and lows
3:55And you're never really sure
3:59What you do it for
4:02Well do you even want to know
4:06Yeah you put on quite a show
You're a fraud and you know it But it's too good to throw it all away Anyone would do the same You've got 'em going And you're careful not to show it Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit It's like magic But it's always been a smoke and mirrors game Anyone would do the same So now that you've arrived well you wonder What is it that you've done to make the grade And should you do the same Is that too easy Are you only trying to please them Will they see then You're desperate to deliver Anything that could give you A sense of reassurance When you look in the mirror Such highs and lows You put on quite a show All these highs and lows And you're never really sure What you do it for Well do you even want to know You put on quite a show Mother Are you watching Are you watching Mother Are you watching Mother You're a fraud and you know it And every night and day you take the stage And it always entertains You're giving pleasure And that's admirable you tell yourself And so you'd gladly sell yourself To others Mother Are you watching Mother Are you watching Mother Are you watching Mother Are you watching Are you watching Such highs and lows You put on quite a show All these highs and lows And you're never really sure What you do it for Well do you even want to know Yeah you put on quite a show
