Common Kitchens Lyrics

I pat the masonry as if to say 'well done

You kept us dry at least

But as the bulbs unscrew

And But as the locks are changed

We may still find time for eyes

Look now for it may be our last chance

The eldest is part of these walls

The youngest remembers little at all

The middle child says"All that I am is in these rooms"

Is this what you dreamed of when you began?

What strange dreams you had

They're knocking our childhood house down

We grew up in this part of town

I never felt quite so alive

As in my youth sat on that kitchen side

Look now for it may be our last chance

To see where father expires

The eldest is part of these walls

The youngest remembers nothing at all

The middle child says"Well they can knock it down"

Is this what you dreamed of when you began?

What strange dreams to have

When all the world was full of common kitchens

I grew up in common kitchens

I hit the floor in common kitchens

I'll grow old and die in these common kitchens

So please bury me in common kitchens

All the world was full of common kitchens

All the world was full of common kitchens

None of them, were like mine

None of them, were like mine
