Gillian Lyrics - The Waifs - The Waifs

Oh Gillian, you're up with the sun 

You've done a hundred things before half past nine 

By the time most folk are up and gone 

You'll be starting on one hundred and one 

There's not enough hours in a day 

To do all the things she's just got to do 

When the daylight fades and the night invades 

She's only just begun 

Weary as you lay at night waiting for the sun 

Planning out tomorrow now before this day is done 

'Gillian you work to hard' 

But don't you try to slow her down - she'll tell you 

'Idleness is good for none works how I get my fun 

Idleness is good for none works how I get things done' 

Gillian you're the one you're the one 

Shining in my life, you're my eternal sun 

I'm trying to thank you now for what I've become 

But I've only just begun 

Your influence has been profound and I'm proud to be your son 

Your blood is my blood we are forever bound 

You're the inspiration to the way I live my life 

I'm singing, 

Gillian if you weren't my mother I would make you my wife 

Gillian if you weren't my mother I'd make you my wife 

Gillian if you weren't my mother I'd make you my wife 

Gillian if you weren't my mother I would make you my wife
