Thread Name: Lyr Req: Old Time Cat o' Nine (Lord Invader)
Subject: RE: Lyrics: And every night... (Cat o'Nine Tails)
Funny thing. Seems like he wrote other songs about parenthood:"As Long As It Born In My House, It Is Mine (Lt. Joe Song)" and in "It Is Time For The Women To Rule" he mentions "being left to mind the children at home'. What is interesting about the first one is that Invader perfectly accepts the fact that his lover's child may not be his and he says, "I don't care if I'm not its biological father, it's still my child because it was born in my house", a marked contrast to the views he expresses in "Brown Skin Girl" in which he refuses to take responsibility for Miss Ivy's child fathered by an American soldier. What caused this contrast in views, assuming that the first one is autobiographical?
