The lyrics here are incorrect for 2 reasons.

1 These are (nearly) the lyrics to the Trip Into Drum & Bass version as featured on the album

2 The lyrics are "Charly says... " not "Mummy says". Mummy doesn't even know you're out, hanging around with weird cats. Mummy says f**k all because she is off her head on crack. Probably.
