A Distant Relation

歌詞

A family affair. We get the picture, We're in it somewhere. Permanent fixtures. People who care. Stranger beware, This is a family affair All of our yesterday's. Familiar rings, I have to get away, Its breaking my heart strings. We have a drink, On special occasions, It makes me think, About distant relations, A family affair. Always a mixture. Of people in chairs, Permanent fixtures, With pressure to bear. People who care. This is a family affair. Holiday snapshots. Of you and myself. Acting the crackpot, Like everyone else. The Bermuda shorts, and the summer creations, Bringing thoughts, of those distant relations. A family affair. We brake ornaments, and get them repaired, We bring up past events that hang in the air. This is a family affair. All our yesterdays. Familiar rings. I have to get away, from some sourroundings. Weddings and funerals, special occasions, And all the usual distant relations. A family affair. Look at this picture. We're in there, look there. Permanent fixtures. People who care, Whisper who dares, This is a family affair.
