Family On Sunday Lyrics

I'm all dressed up in black, I've got a little bag

I'm gonna go back home

Back to the place, to the place, to the place where I used to grow old

Haven't seen mother for a while, maybe four year or more

But now I'm back to see her at last

Yeah, tho she fell on the stairs and suddenly died

Last week

Oh, what god is that?

Oh, what god is that?

Oh, what god is that?

Oh, what god is that?

A lovely funeral

A lovely funeral

Funeral they remind you you get old

The death list gets longer, the guest list gets shorter

Finally they're all gone

Goodbye mommy, bye daddy, and grandpa and ma

You're already dust

I hated them so much sometimes, our discussions where arguments

And at 21 I left the house

And then i never came back, oh no, I never came back

Until this lovely party we're having now!

Oh, what god is that?

Oh, what god is that?

Oh, what god is that?

Oh, what god is that?

A lovely funeral

A lovely funeral

Funeral they remind you things

I said

"I wish i had no family on sundays

I wish i had no family on sundays

I'm gonna leave them all, gonna leave them all, gonna leave them all"

I guess I did so

And so here we are now, the coffin of my mom is there in front of me

I'm like an old orphan who wished his parents were dead too many times

"Don't put elbows on the table son!", we ate chicken every week oh

Grandpa always talked 'bout the war while daddy kept eating more and more

And I sat there and wanted to die until we left later at night

Time with them it passed oh so much slower

Yet I thought that they would leave much later

I wished i had no family on sundays

And then i left my family one sunday

But i loved them all, guess I loved them all

Yeah i loved them all and now I'll miss them all

I miss my little dad on sundays

I miss our little life on sundays

Oh I miss them all, yeah I miss them all

Cuz I loved them all, yeah I loved them all

I'm gonna go go go go back home

Shaking hands one last time

Thanks for the flowers, goodbye

Next funeral, I guess it'll be mine
