LEVEL 42 - RUNNING IN THE FAMILY ORIGINAL VERSION ( DIFFERENT LYRICS )

AMAZING ALTERNATIVE VERSION !

[@AgentB7]

The lyrics are much, much better then the well known version.

[@joeritchie7286]

I prefer it both ways really

[@donmohsin]

Verse 1 I've got a scientific mind The inquiring kind I always make the right connections My dad ain't like the other guys Won the Nobel Prize For history He wrote a book that made them weep and made a quantum leap And pushed me in the same direction I read and clearly understood Like he knew I would The first time he set eyes on me Chorus 1 Looking back it's so bizarre, It runs in the family. All the things we are On the backseat of the car No safer place to be We only see so far cause we all have our daddy's eyes Looking back it's so bizarre Verse 2 I've run, the movie in my head watch it in my bed I always played the starring role It's me with my dad in perfect years But it ends in tears When I leave home Each day, I'd climb the learning curve never lose my nerve 'Til I come full circle in my soul So strange, that the mother of my child Wore my mother's smile The first time she set eyes on me Chorus 2 Looking back it's so bizarre, always a mystery It always leaves a scar From the backseat of the car No sense of history We only see so far And we all have our daddy's eyes Looking back it's so bizarre Runs in the family All the things we are Looking back it's so bizarre Hey hey, we keep it running in the family Hey hey, we keep on coming in the family (repeat twice) Chorus 3 Looking back it's so bizarre, It runs in the family. All the things we are On the backseat of the car No safer place to be We only see so far cause we all hav eour daddy's eyes Looking back it's so bizarre always a mystery It always leaves a scar From the backseat of the car No sense of history We only see so far And we all have our daddy's eyes Looking back it's so bizarre Running in the family Running in my family Cause we all have our daddy's eyes Looking back it's so bizarre Running in the family

[@music4allpeople627]

Looking for this forever.

[@GiuliaPitarra]

Great song, I love this. It's funny how I found this version before the other one, and other people are saying that they never heard this. I was just wondering why I couldn't find the right lyrics on the internet. Thanks for sharing!

[@daverankin6619]

was really blown away when I first heard this,was aware of the live version they did at Wembley in '86,but didn't realise they recorded a studio version too,brilliant,pity it never made it onto the Deluxe Edition.

[@garethbithell2540]

This is bloody fantastic

[@Cannaegetausername]

Memories of 1987 listening to this tune in my mates brand new Ford Escort Bonus 1.3!

[@garethbithell2540]

This should have been on the album as a extra track

[@tonydoherty2190]

It makes perfect sense both lyrics fit its very intelligent im not a musician I've been putting different lyrics to songs for years not many bands can do that

[@ChildrenSay2346]

I LOVE the known version much more than this one. However, this version is pretty damn good, too! Level 42 can do no wrong!! ;)

[@asadmohammed744]

Oh how I miss the 80's.

[@TraceElliot42]

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is the original ( first ) version of this song. It was in the live at wembley concert but it's been cut because they decided to change the lyrics. That's also why is at the end as video version.

[@killerofkillers]

Lol i been searching a whole year to find this .. Resort 2 sudo lyric match on google pmsl .. I remember bopping to this at the school disco & loving it : )

[@ernestohernandez7237]

Indeed amazing skagirl !!!! Never heard this song with this lyric before. Do you have the lyric of this song? Please send the lyric to me( if it is not too much trouble) I'm very grateful to you. I'll hope you understand my badly written English.

[@vanhalenpancho]

u gran cancion!

[@Blue8Valerie]

ah, ok, i didn´t know that, thanks for telling me

[@juanpabloarena2724]

INOXIDABLE!

[@beingheardmedia6339]

Okay so the scuttlebut I heard, which may not be true it's just gossip is that the record label made them redo the lyrics to the version that's now on the album. Can anybody confirm or correct?

[@mikey8718]

I love the original, but this soo much better, im thinking Mark was like this is a bit niche, maybe but thats me speculating 🤔

[@robert1972217]

Unreal..It is as good as the original..or is it the original? Anyways, I really like this song..brings back childhood memories..

[@skagirl42]

@harrymulder i'm on it Harry ! x

[@fionabithell935]

[@tyronehammock8741]

[@remoyes4979]

[@barokich]

nice

[@SamBAss42]

This version is much better

[@marksummers8917]

So bizarre!

[@Afigreg]

Both versions are great but this doesn't one of my favourite lines of any song "a man so large he barely fit his circumstances".

[@JulianHallLevel42]

Hi Skagirl. I have just posted a story about the original lyrics that may be of interest to you. Julian.

[@JulianHallLevel42]

+Lucas Hi Lucas. Visit my channel and watch the clip "the best story so far" as i discussed the lyrics of this song with Mike and was disappointed with the answer.

[@tyronehammock8741]

we need to rap

[@Inzo42]

Maybe these lyrics are supposed to be about Micro Kid's dad?

[@Etitor27]

Hi! Can you send me the lyrics? Please! My english is bad! :P Thank you! :)

[@hamishcox7925]

Are they guide lyrics?

[@roxtrongoopercot9017]

[@Blue8Valerie]

[@RawrTjay]
