lyrics
Hey you, what time do you call this? Your tea's been ready don't you give it a miss I'm off out mum, I won't be home You are on the streets to roam Listen to me 'cause I'm still your mother You aren't as old as your brother You come home and cheek me once more my lad So away from this house, away from the door Let me say, I ain't a kid And if you want you can easy get rid I'm moving out, I'm getting a flat As soon as I can and I won't be back Listen to me 'cause I'm still your mother You aren't as old as your brother You come home and cheek me once more my lad So away from this house, away from the door Of night, takes me home I stumble about, on my own Oh, as my half naked body hits the bed There's a hundred thoughts in my head Oh, I wish I'd listened to my mother Because I aren't as old as my brother And if I ever drink once more I swear I can see myself staggering all over the floor

about

Formed in Yorkshire in 1981, The Burial was a working class band that practices an explosive Punk, Ska and Soul cocktail.

They recorded a four-track demo in 1983 and managed to sneak two of these songs re-recorded into the iconic compilation "The Oi! of Sex" released in 1984 by Syndicate Records.

Encouraged by their appearance on publications like Sounds or Red Action, the band continued with his activity, appearing on two more compilations: "Oi! Glorious Oi!" and "The Sound of Oi!") and sporting their stylish and rebellious attitude gigging across Britain.

They recorded their one and only full length album, "A day on the town", during 1988 and finally was released on the Link Records subsidiary label Skank Records in early 1989, shortly disbanding after that.

The other two tracks from their 1983 demo ("Backstreet Child" and "I can't forget") remained forgotten until 1997, when they were included in the compilation "Oi! the demos" (Captain Oi!, 1997) together with other bands such as The Crack, Subculture, ABH, Crux or Angelic Upstarts.
