lyrics

My old mum
Was a martyr to her back
She had to spend too many hours
Lying in the sack
But she always had time
For me and our Jack

There was a teacher at our school
Who tried it on and more
And when our mother found out
She gave him what what for
She delivered a backhander
And that teacher got shown the door

If one of us was hurt
She'd hold us to her skirt
She's stroke our hair and we would always let her
We'd stop making a fuss
As she would say to us
"Come here son let me kiss it better"

Kiss it better, kiss it better
That's what we always heard her say
Kiss it better I'll kiss it better
Ill make all the bad things go away

Time passes quickly
Now I've got a girl and a son
My daughter's called called Chloe 
She's the image of my mum
But Mum was getting older
And the doctors told us she didn't have long

And as mum was about to go
Chloe seemed to know
She held her tight and she caressed her 
Chloe took her by the hand 
And said" It's ok nan
It's my turn now to kiss it better"

Kiss it better, kiss it better
Don't worry nan, close your eyes 
Kiss it better, Ill kiss it better
I love you, but it's time to say goodbye

I love you nan

Kiss it better, kiss it better
That' s what I'll always hear her say
Kiss it better, I'll kiss it better
I'll make all the bad things go away
I'll make all the bad things go away

Men With Ven London, UK

Three men and nearly as many chords, on the road from Barking to Deptford. Telling it the way it is, in pubs and markets, treading the highway and the sticky carpet.
