lyrics

(a woman made it)

He is not wrong that it is the sound of this city
That is the part that makes it funny instead of cruel
It is the sound of one kitchen with a fan and a kettle
And a woman who has never once been asked her name

A woman made that sound (that sound)
Not a city, that sound
One woman, that sound
That sound

A woman made that sound, that sound, a woman made that sound
Cities do not make sounds, people in kitchens do
A woman made that sound, that sound, a woman made that sound
And she thinks the fan is just a fan and it is on every chart

I told her in July. Played her the advert. The big one.
She listened to the whole thing with her arms folded.
Then she said "the fan needs cleaning" and went to make tea.
(BEAT SLAMS BACK)

A woman made that sound, that sound, a woman made that sound
Cities do not make sounds, people in kitchens do
A woman made that sound, that sound, a woman made that sound
And she thinks the fan is just a fan and it is on every chart

(needs cleaning...)
