Dem Akzent nach ist zu vermuten, dass die Frau aus Südafrika stammt. Es gibt dort häufig Anzeichen von "Familien-Selbstmorden", die aus wirtschaftlicher Misere entstehen. In diesem speziellen Fall kann man annehmen, dass die Kinder starben, aber die Mutter überlebte, weil das Gas in der Flasche nicht ausreichte.

Three Wishes

Woman:
I went to buy a... a gas bottle. At first I wanted to buy a big one, but then I hadn't got enough money. So I had to buy a smaller one. And I think if I bought a bigger one, then it would have been... the way I wanted it.
And then, er, we went down, and ahm, I put the children to bed and I tidied the flat and everything and then... and they were asleep and everything was a kind of at night. I made a bed in the bathroom. I carried them there and put on the gas bottle.
But today when I think a back peh... about that if God did take me, then I would've been in hell because I wasn't right.

Reached back for the bottle
And rubbed against the lamp
Genie came out smiling
Like some Eastern tramp
He said "Hey boy what's happening
What is going on
You can have three wishes
If you don't take too long"
I said "Well,
I wish they were all happy in the Lebanon
Wish somebody'd help me write this song
I wish when I was young
My old man had not been gone."
Genie said
"Consider it done!"

There's something in the air
And you don't know what it is
You see someone through the window
Who you've just learned to miss
And the road leads on to glory but
You've used up your last wish
Your last wish
And you want her to come home
...bring her home...

Genie said "I'm sorry
But that's the way it goes
Where the hell's the lamp sucker
It's time for me to go
Bye"

There's something in the air
And you don't know what it is
You see someone through the window
Who you've just learned to miss
And the road leads on to glory but
You've used up your last wish
Your last wish
And you want her to come home

Woman:
I go there ahm... sometimes twice a year now
And sometimes only once
And sometimes when I feel like crying
I just go there
