Why The MatriNarc Knows Best
“I love you.”
“I have heard this is a good one for getting a reaction from you because this is what you always want to hear.”
“You won’t ever amount to anything.”
“Not while I am interfering in every facet of your life, controlling you and making your childhood and your adult life one long battle.”
“I just thought I would call you and see how you are.”
“You do not give me enough fuel. You are an ungrateful son/daughter and I regret the day I gave birth to you.”
“It is my birthday next week and I just wondered if you had anything planned.”
“I expect something lavish and spectacular so I can be centre stage. If you haven’t planned such an event you are cruel and uncaring, just as I always thought.”
“I am proud of you.”
“For once you have done something I approve of and now I can take all the credit for it.”
“You were quite a challenge when you were younger.”
“I thought you might resist my cold-hearted manipulation of you, but I broke you in the end.”
“I suppose you have heard the sad news about your Uncle Paul dying?”
“A death! A funeral! Such a wonderful stage for me to dominate and all those relatives to suck fuel from.”
“I am trying to help you,you know?”
“I am trying to control you, stop resisting me.”
“I have done so much for you. All I want is some thanks.”
“I think I have done so much for you. I need some fuel.”
“It was a joke. You take yourself so seriously.”
“It was not a joke. Damn you for seeing through it. I need to back track quickly so I am not accountable.”
“You were an accident.”
“Go on cry and make me feel powerful.”
“Your father and I have discussed this as we think…”
“I have decided….”
“Your father agrees with me so there is no point running to him.”
“Your father knows better than to contradict me.”
“I had such high hopes for you.”
“You aren’t doing what I want.”
“That never happened.”
“It did but you are not allowed to hold that against me.”
“We never thought you would leave home.”
“You were not meant to move out of my control.”
“We hardly ever see you these days.”
“You should be providing me with fuel more often.”
“You weren’t like this when you were little.”
“You were so much easier to control back then.”
“I don’t love you.”
“I don’t love you. I never have.”

Mother ~ Tori Amos
Go, go, go, go, now
Out of the nest, it’s time
Go, go, go, now
Circus girl without a safety net
Here, here, now, don’t cry
You raised your hand for the assignment
Tuck those ribbons under
Your helmet, be a good soldier
First my left foot
Then my right behind the other
Pantyhose running in the cold
Mother, the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Green limousine for the redhead
Dancing, dancing girl
And when I dance for him
Somebody leave the light on
Just in, just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come from
I walked into your dream
And now I’ve forgotten
How to dream my own dream
You are the clever one, aren’t you?
Brides in veils for you
We told you all of our secrets
All but one, now don’t you even try
The phone has been disconnected
Dripping with blood
And with time and with your advice
Poison me against the moon
I escape into, your escape into
Our very favorite fearscape
It’s across the sky
And across my heart
And I cross my legs
Oh my God
First my left foot
Then my right behind the other
Breadcrumbs lost under the snow
Mother, the car is here
Here, maybe, maybe he’ll leave the light on
For the, for the, for the dancing girl
He’s gonna change my name
Maybe he’ll leave the light
Just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come, come from
How apt.
Thank you for sharing this.
Great Album. Little Earthquakes.
I once had a tangerine as my best friend.
