lyrics

Peeling potatoes and thinking of you
The water ran out, it cut the dirt in two
Into an archipelago
Like whoever pulled the rings from grandma's fingers.

Do you remember the roses on your cheeks?
One hand in the lucky bag, and the jealous stink?
Little fingers, wrapping plastic.
Never going to practice cadence or accent.

Will you wear a ring that won't come off in the shower?
Wear it forever and ever and pass the jewellery on?

On your minutes, we can talk like this
I'm glad we caught each other here in between shifts
Two old designers, waiting on a call
Thought the agency prefer them
They're lucky to get work at all.

We grew up in old houses
Appropriate for listening
Sudden wordshed
Heard in practice
I want you here when the picture dies and we laugh hardest

Like drains.

It's not a case of plain or textured wallpaper.
It's queens and presidents and also parties and
A balding lawn, a barbeque full of rainwater
And the need to tidy up.

Will you wear a ring that won't come off in the shower?
Wear it forever and ever and pass the jewellery on?
