For many years, the group presented a ragamuffin image and a vagabonding lifestyle, travelling around Europe in a double-decker bus and houseboat. Their image was enhanced by their eclectic and often homemade clothing, and the very long hair worn by both male and female members of the band. The Kelly Family began to break up in 2000 and afterwards they performed mostly as individuals or sub-sets of the whole group and took on a more mainstream look.

Walking
The Kelly Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was walking the other day
I was walking, I was walking
I was walking the wrong way
I was talking one way, bla bla bla
Talking all day
I was talking, I was talking
CHORUS:
Try to watch out what you do in life
Try not to hurt anybody
Try to watch out what you do in life
For things, they can get pretty muddy
For things, they can get pretty muddy
I was thinking one way
Just the other day
I was thinking, I was thinking
But I was thinking the wrong way
I was singing one way
Was singing all day
I was singing, I was singing
But I was singing the wrong way
CHORUS
