Lyrics

[Verse]
My mam is much taller
Now she’s stuck on her couch
An ankle in plaster
A scotch in her embrace
The couch is her throne
The remote her crown
Her kingdom's a living room
She won’t back down

[Chorus]
Scotch and a cast
That's her new groove
Life on the couch
She’s got nothing to prove
The world spins fast
But she’s staying still
Scotch in her glass
And time to kill

[Verse 2]
She yells at the telly
Critiques every show
“Who writes this rubbish? It’s all for show”
The dog at her feet
The cat on the chair
She waves her glass
Says
“Life’s not fair”

[Bridge]
But oh
The stories she tells at night
Of when she danced in the disco light
Now the beat's a tick of the clock on the wall
She’s sipping and laughing
She’s seen it all

[Chorus]
Scotch and a cast
That’s her parade
Sidelined for now
But she’s not afraid
The world spins fast
But she takes it slow
Scotch in her glass
Her spirit won’t go

[Outro]
So here’s to the queens of the living room reign
Raising a toast to their joy and their pain
With scotch and a cast
She’s finding her way
Tomorrow can wait
She’s living today
