The song is called 'Poor mum' by Molly Drake. She was an English poet and musician. The quirky film strikes an impressive balance of comedic absurdity and biting satirical comment, which, when backed by the brilliant musical choice of Poor Mum by Molly Drake, makes for an unignorable statement.
The lyrics and the melancholic melody perfectly synthetise what mothers have to go through after giving birth.
"Poor mum, poor mum
After a lifetime of dreaming
Poor mum, poor mum
Whatever became of your scheming
Try very hard not to misunderstand
Joy as it flies
Cannot be caught
Poor mum, Poor mum
Where did you take a wrong turning?
Poor mum, poor mum
Pack up that last little yearning
Pack it away with the books and the toys
Silent and dumb
Silent and mend
Go out and grab at your life
And forget
You are poor, poor...
"Mum"
