Kyle Falconer - Family Tree lyrics

The pipe takes me to heaven The pint puts me in jail So I'll stick with the vimto It's safer in my head Print my progress often Keep the wolves at bay I've been down in a ripple for darker days The wiser words are never more than free So let the snow prints melt, and keep the sun with me Cause I'm working on me, and the family I'm growing up, ye see I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me I'm working on the family tree I'll stay right with the program And pull my weight indeed I'm pulling weeds in autumn, should keep the birds in feed I'll write my jolly jingles, and document my time Mixing up the tinkle pills, and children's rhymes The wiser words are never far from me And let the shadows dance, and filled of course with glee Cause I'm working on me, and the family I'm going up, ye see I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me I'm working on the family tree Cause I'm working on me, and the family I'm going up, ye see I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me I'm working on the family tree She said she won't marry me It saddens me, oh no She said she won't marry me It saddens me, oh no She said she won't marry me It saddens me, oh no Cause I'm working on me, and the family I'm going up, ye see I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me I'm working on the family tree Cause I'm working on me, and the family I'm going up, ye see I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me You'll never get the better of me I'm working on the family tree Do you really wanna go home? Do you really wanna stay here? Do you wanna keep your head up? Do you really wanna be the one who lives in fear?
