lyrics

Wrong way on a one way street just sums me the black sheep of this whole family
You hated all my mates and the girls I took on dates your friends can’t stand me
Wonder what I could’ve been if I’d only lived the dream and gone to uni
Got a job with some big firm think of the money I would earn - not for yours truly
But when all’s said and done
I’m still your only son
family life (you could term us as dysfunctional)
family life (hoped you’d call I fear you never will)
family life (on my knees each night to pray)
family life (that I’ll be welcome in your house one day)
Standing at his grave putting flowers to his name was he my father ?
A spiteful little man who’d put his oar in when he can and cause palaver
Spelling out my worth he said that I would always shirk responsibility
He shoved me off the edge and drove a bitter wedge between you and me
But when all’s said and done
I’m still your only son
family life (you could term us as dysfunctional)
family life (hoped you’d call I fear you never will)
family life (I’m on my knees each night to pray)
family life (that I’ll be welcome in your house one day)
The flowers die no word from you is said
My calls unanswered letters burned unread
I don’t seek forgiveness for the things I’ve done
I’ll prove my worth to you although he’s gone
family life (you could term us as dysfunctional)
family life (hoped you’d call I fear you never will)
family life (I’m on my knees each night to pray)
family life (that I’ll be welcome in your house one day)
