- Family Glue Lyrics / with translationsi am family glue
leaving a legacy of tell-me-to
behaviour made of lead
i eat and i'm fed
never use your hands
our blood has given into it
save the holidays for me
dress as love for halloween
i press my hand in the dirt
and ruin your hard work
but new clothes are for me alone
i always recognise your clothes
so i am family glue
leaving a legacy of tell-me-to
behaviour made of care
this is not my somewhere
leaving a legacy of tell-me-to
behaviour made of lead
i eat and i'm fed
never use your hands
our blood has given into it
save the holidays for me
dress as love for halloween
i press my hand in the dirt
but new clothes are for me alone
i always recognise your clothes
so i am family glue
leaving a legacy of tell-me-to
behaviour made of care
this is not my somewhere
