Family Tree Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer]
The pipe takes me to heaven
The pint puts me in jail
So I'll stick with the Vimto, it's safer in my head
Print my progress often
And keep the wolves at bay
I've been down in a ripple for darker days

[Chorus]
The wiser words are never more than free
So let the snow prints melt, and keep the sun with me
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family
I'm growing up, ye' see
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
I'm working on the family tree

[Verse 2]
I'll stay right with the program
And pull my weight indeed
I'm pulling weeds in autumn, should keep the birds in feed
I'll write my jolly jingles, and document my time
Mixing up the tinkle pills, and children's rhymes
The wiser words are never far from me (far from me)
And let the shadows dance, and filled of course with glee

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family
I'm growing up, ye' see
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
I'm working on the family tree
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family I'm growing up, ye' see
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
You'll never get no bother from me
'Cause I'm working on the family tree

[Refrain]
She said she won't marry me
It saddens me, oh no
She said she won't marry me
It saddens me, oh no
She said she won't marry me
It saddens me, oh no

[Chorus]
So I'm working on me, and the family
I'm growing up, ye' see?
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
I'm working on the family tree
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family
I'm growing up, ye' see
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
I'm working on the family tree
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family
I'm growing up, ye' see?
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
You'll never get the better of me
I'm working on the family tree

[Outro]
Do you really wanna go home?
Do you really wanna stay here?
Do you wanna keep your head up?
Do you really wanna be the one who lives in fear?
