Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I have a drop-leaf window

With cats from broken yards

Sunflowers and paint cans

And stolen shopping carts

[Verse 2]

And nothing to be proud of

And nothing to regret

All of that to make as yet

All of that to make as yet

[Verse 3]

I have a single heartbreak

I celebrate and mourn

A single shining sister

And all the tricks of dawn

[Verse 4]

A single yellow duvet

A single switch to flick

But a thousand boxes yet to tick

A thousand boxes yet to tick

[Verse 5]

And Jesus is a Rochdale girl

And forty-five CD's

Got a house that you can smoke in

So all my friends found me

[Verse 6]

And they found me full of myself

And bloody-minded will

And as yet a box to fill

And as yet a box to fill
