about

Sometimes you want things from people that they can't give you. It's nobody's fault.

Think of this as a song of growth, change and acceptance. Those things aren't possible without adversity and suffering. You may love yourself starting NOW.

lyrics

Sometimes I feel like Mary without Jesus
Then I think we'd have no Jesus without Mary
Talk about compassion
We'd have no forgiveness
And we'd have no mercy
Would we be alive?

I think about her kneeling at his cross
I think about her kneeling at his manger
Crying in the open, crying in the open
Bethlehem newborn, hiding from Herod
Come on mother Mary, give love to your baby
They finally got him
They're taking him away

Sometimes I feel like Jesus without Mary
Sometimes I feel like I'm nothing at all
Not just nobody but non-existent
I need mother Mary to keep me standing tall
Without her I'm just marching through the desert
Just looking for a home
Just looking for a settlement somewhere
Where I won't be alone
I need my mother Mary
I need my mother, Mary

Sorry That I Knocked You Up
by Technology Versus Horse

A great summary of TVH. Older songs re-recorded with the five-piece that sound better and some great new songs like "Automobile" and "Dark Man/Pale Horse" PLUS a sweet A Ky. Prophet cover. Mike Farmer
