lyrics

(by the sink)

Not a restaurant, not a speech, not a ring in a glass
Not one element of it was staged or even planned
Two pages of A4 and a woman with wet hands
Telling a contracts lawyer she had misread a contract

By the sink (by the sink)
It happened by the sink, by the sink
Tuesday, half past nine, by the sink
By the sink

By the sink, by the sink, by the sink, by the sink
Every important thing has happened in a kitchen
By the sink, by the sink, by the sink, by the sink
And nobody has ever photographed a single one

I have drafted termination clauses for eleven years.
I have never once drafted the other thing. The staying clause.
There isn't a template. You have to write it yourself. Badly.
(bass returns)

By the sink, by the sink, by the sink, by the sink
Every important thing has happened in a kitchen
By the sink, by the sink, by the sink, by the sink
And nobody has ever photographed a single one

(by the sink...)
