LYRICS
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?
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?
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
