    Story Behind the Song
    Don't bottle it up. Don't keep it to yourself. Talk about it. Your natural family may not listen or care but you gotta have someone who does. You need to connect to feel part of the world and you need people who believe in you to be part of your network in the 'family of friends'. Inspired again by those people who didn't believe there was anyone they could talk to in order to release the pressure so they ended it right there and then. Sad shit. Be the friend you need for someone else. it all comes 'round in the end. in the studio this one picked up a talking jazz feel with Gav Collinge writing the feel and the riffs and Neil Hannan chippin in on acoustic bass and Jacqui FitzGerald on backing vocals. I just got into the groove and talked it through - Keith

    Lyrics
    Family of Friends

    Moving on, splitting up
    Trying out new pastures
    Just to keep on top. Culture shock.
    New mums and dads, uncles and aunts
    Back and forth - it's a strange dance
    Hard to figure what the world's about
    When the nuclear family's exploding out

    You need family
    No good being on your own
    living in some twilight zone
    Got to have a place called home
    A home for the heart
    Where you know that you're known
    In the family of friends.
    Be the friend you need to someone else
    It all comes 'round in the end
    In the family of friends

    We're supposed to be in it for each other
    Not all this brother hating brother.
    Husbands and wives lead separate lives
    Pulling apart is not the way to start
    - a family

    If you see a spark in someone
    fan it into flame
    Hey, what's happening?
    Tell me your name.
    We're all equal in the end
    A lot depends ...
    on the family of friends.

    You take life hard
    like everything is bleeding
    Cut adrift with nothing to believe in.
    Don't glorify suicide
    like we're on some kamikaze mission
    Take time for yourself , relax, go fishin' ,
    do some hopin' and some wishin'
    You can make it through my friends

    Don't be too busy about your business
    To lend a listening ear
    Healthy children are more fun
    than a miserable career

    Be the friend you need for someone else
    It all comes 'round in the end
    You'd be surprised how far your love extends
    In the family of friends.

    Don't say everything's fine when it's not
    Talk about it, don't bottle it up.
    You don't know what you're missing
    Sometimes you have to believe
    That you'll find what you need
    that it all comes 'round in the end
    In the family of friends
    'round and 'round in the end
    in the family of friends
