Songtext Family of leeches The Zutons

Family of leeches

A family of leeches
Live on my road,
And if you ever were to make eye contact
They'd tear you up just for a joke.

You can tell by their features
Their spines are so thin,
That's why they're always moving from place to place
Escaping troubles that they know they can't win.

But the wife of the family,
She's so good,
She's been a worker all her life.
And she knows if she leaves the husband then
When he wakes up he'll be cryin'.

'Cos she needs a man with real respect,
A man without a rep' to protect,
She's always good,
Always good,
Always good,
Always good.
The kids have no teachers,
They robbed the radio,
I went to see the father face to face
And he was acting like he just didn't know.

I got my own experience,
Minding my own business,
I didn't pay respect now,
So they think I'm dangerous.

But the wife of the family,
She looked on
From the corner of her eye,
And she knows that the husband's unaware
And soon I will be tryin'.

'Cos she needs a man with real respect,
A man without a rep' to protect,
She's always good,
Always good,
Always good,
Always good.

We wait for the sunset
To cover our sins,
Soon I'll be gone
And she'll be back again.
I told her I'd move,
So she can save her speeches.
'Cos I don't wanna live
Next to a family of leeches.
