Lou Reed - Families - Текст песни

(hows the family)

(hows the family)

Mama, you tell me hows the family

And papa, tell me how things going by you

And little baby sister, I heard that you got married

And I heard that you had yourself a little baby girl, too

And heres some uncles and some cousins I know vaguely

And would you believe my old dog chelseas here, too

And would you believe nobody in this family

Wanted to keep her

And now that dogs more of a part of this family

Then I am, too

I dont come home much anymore

No-no-no I dont come home much anymore

Mama

And mama, I know how disappointed you are

And papa, I know that you feel the same way, too

And no-no-no-no-no I still havent got married

And no-no-no theres no grandson planned here for you

And by the way, daddy tell me hows the business

I understand that your stock shes growing very high

No, daddy, youre not a poor man anymore

And I hope youll realize that before you die

Because I dont come home much anymore

No-no-no-no-no I dont come home much no more

But daddy

And please-please-please-please-please

Come on lets not start this business again

I know how much you resent the life that I have

But one more time, I dont want the family business

Dont want to inherit it upon the day that you die

Really, daddy should have given it to my sister

You know elisabeth, you know elisabeth

She has a better head for those things than i

She lives practically around the corner

Thats really the kind of child you could be proud of

But papa, I know that this visits a mistake

Theres nothing here we have in common, except our name

And families that live out in the suburbs

Often make each other cry

And I dont think that Ill come home much anymore

No-no, I dont think Ill come home much again

Mama

Papa

Families

Often make each other cry

No, I dont think that Ill come home much anymore
