Families


(hows the family)
(hows the family)

Mama, you tell me hows the family
And papa, tell me how things going by you
And little baby sister, I heard that you got married
And I heard that you had yourself a little baby girl, too
And heres some uncles and some cousins I know vaguely
And would you believe my old dog chelseas here, too
And would you believe nobody in this family
Wanted to keep her
And now that dogs more of a part of this family
Then I am, too
I dont come home much anymore
No-no-no I dont come home much anymore
Mama

And mama, I know how disappointed you are
And papa, I know that you feel the same way, too
And no-no-no-no-no I still havent got married
And no-no-no theres no grandson planned here for you
And by the way, daddy tell me hows the business
I understand that your stock shes growing very high
No, daddy, youre not a poor man anymore
And I hope youll realize that before you die
Because I dont come home much anymore
No-no-no-no-no I dont come home much no more
But daddy

And please-please-please-please-please
Come on lets not start this business again
I know how much you resent the life that I have
But one more time, I dont want the family business
Dont want to inherit it upon the day that you die
Really, daddy should have given it to my sister
You know elisabeth, you know elisabeth
She has a better head for those things than i
She lives practically around the corner
Thats really the kind of child you could be proud of
But papa, I know that this visits a mistake
Theres nothing here we have in common, except our name
And families that live out in the suburbs
Often make each other cry
And I dont think that Ill come home much anymore
No-no, I dont think Ill come home much again
Mama
Papa
Families
Often make each other cry
No, I dont think that Ill come home much anymore
(hows the families)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Lou Reed (Lewis Allan Reed; March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and poet. Considered a pioneer of experimental rock and punk music, Reed achieved international fame as the frontman of the Velvet Underground in the 1960s. After the band's dissolution, he embarked on a highly successful solo career, exploring controversial themes such as heroin, sexuality, and social marginalization. Among his most important albums are "Transformer" (1972), "Berlin" (1973) and "Street Hassle" (1978). Reed was a provocative and controversial artist, but also a refined poet and a musician of great talent. Some of his most representative songs are: 'Walk on the Wild Side', 'Heroin', 'Perfect Day'.
