My Family Lyrics

Take a look around

These people filling the house with sound

That's family

Yeah, that's your family

We don't look the same as each other

So many sisters, fathers mothers and brothers

It's all family

An modern hybrid of family

Who turns their cheek when you let off steam

Then tries to stop you from going to extremes

That's your family

You should probably thank them

Together once a year if it's a good year

There's sporting stories

And if the TV's on someone will cheer

That's family

Sometimes it sounds more like a cricket team

And the kids go from toddlers to high school in just one year

One time they're drinking cordial

The next time it is beer

Who'll pick you up when you fall down on your knees

Who'll tell you the truth when you say

Does my arse look big in these

For better or worse

It's family

Yeah, that's my family

It's time for swapping gifts

My wife gets better ones than me

There's been some great ones over the years

Like when GG got a slab of VB

That's family

Acting unpredictably

Who has so many offspring you don't know whose is whose

And then you get it wrong when somebody makes you choose

Who are the people you've got to forgive of everything

I seem to remember that one of you told me I couldn't sing

I think you know who you are

You're family

Yeah you're family

And we're sorry we're not there

And we're sorry we're not there today

With the family
