New Model Army - Family Lyrics
Joey puts her makeup on really wellShe looks cool in the flashing lightsAnd all the boys gossip about the shapeOf her legsOn these muddled up and drunken nightsAnd if it's all got to end up between the sheetsWell she can coo like a virgin doveBut really she just doesn't want to be aloneAnd if you want you can call that loveM6 southbound road side cafe on aWild wet and windy nightThere's a kid in a sleeping bagNuddled in a cornerTrying to beg a lightHe's got mum and dad tattooed on his armsFrom when he thought that that wouldMake it alrightHe's got hope and fear on his young boy's faceAnother innocent taking flight, sayingCHORUS:Give me some place that I can goWhere I don't have to justify myselfSwimming out alone against this tideLooking for a family looking for tribeThey said go, get out, we've got our ownLives to leadNow that water is thicker than bloodAnd every house is divided into single flatsWith their very own little welcome rugThe shopping mall it is teeming with lifeFighting for the goodies on the shelfBut there's those funny old people on theEscalators, talking to themselves, sayingCHORUS:Give me some place that I can go ...Well I survive on my own for a while or soUpon a whim or a bottle of whineJust trying to make sense of theseNew surroundingsI only changed my name a couple of timesPlease take me back Joey, I'm really sorryCan we try to make a happy homeBut she's gone with someone else andThey're starting a familyTrying for a clan of their own, soCHORUS:GIVE me some place that I can go ...=======================================================================
