A kid got stuck on a sliver of silver
Watched in the street by a gang of builders
Blood running down into the gutter
Next kid's caught climbing out the window
Policeman switched off his Nintendo
Mom couldn't do anything but stutter
Now the first kid's laid out on a stretcher
Red mask scrawled on a hooded sweater
Stand back for the defribulator
And the second kid's steady four walls pacing
He's thinking about the crime and the time he's facing
Mom just said "I'll see you later"
And I still love you
You'll always be my little soldier
I still love you
Whatever, whatever, whatever you do
Gayle stop dead hanging out the laundry
Reggie's dream with the words "I'm horny"
Blood drains from my face so quickly
Mom gets home half an hour later
Kicks off her shoes to read the paper
Gayle just sits there looking sickly
Mum says "Baby, what's the matter?"
Tears fall as she begins to blabber
At that moment Daddy walks in
An atmosphere a knife could cut through
Mum says "We know what you've been up to"
"I think you should pack your things, don't you?"
And I still love you
Even though you fucked us over
I still love you
Whatever, whatever, whatever you do
So it is, so it was, so it always will be
So it is, so it was, so it always will be
I still love you
Blood is always thicker than water
I still love you
Whatever, whatever, whatever you do
Watched in the street by a gang of builders
Blood running down into the gutter
Policeman switched off his Nintendo
Mom couldn't do anything but stutter
Red mask scrawled on a hooded sweater
Stand back for the defribulator
He's thinking about the crime and the time he's facing
Mom just said "I'll see you later"
You'll always be my little soldier
I still love you
Whatever, whatever, whatever you do
Reggie's dream with the words "I'm horny"
Blood drains from my face so quickly
Kicks off her shoes to read the paper
Gayle just sits there looking sickly
Tears fall as she begins to blabber
At that moment Daddy walks in

"I think you should pack your things, don't you?"
Even though you fucked us over
I still love you
Whatever, whatever, whatever you do
So it is, so it was, so it always will be
Blood is always thicker than water
I still love you
Whatever, whatever, whatever you do

I think this song is mostly about the bonds of family, hence being called 'blood', but the song also speaks about blood in a different way, or the kid who was "stuck on a sliver of silver", seeming to illuminate the darker side of blood. At any rate, it's an excellent song, puts you right there when you listen! : )
The reason I and everyone have been so confused is because the lyrics are wrong. It's not Reggie's dream, it's Red G-string; "Red G-string with the words I'm horny". Gayle's dad has been cheating on his mum. This should make more sense to you now.

*girl stops dead hanging out the laundry red g string with the words i'm horny blood drains from her face so quickly
the scenario is that a girl finds a g string ( neither her or her mothers) she then tells her mother who then tells her dad to leave
the song is about the bonds of family, and whatever happens you are still family.
