lyrics

(Kesho!)

Wednesday evenings, seventeen women, one broken piano
Mrs Wanjiku conducting with a wooden spoon, seriously
That is where I learned everything I have ever used
(ever used)
Breath, blend, when to hold back, when to take the roof off

They think I left them (think I left them)
I did not leave, I took them with me, all seventeen

Choir practice
(practice, practice)
Every stack on every record is those women
Choir practice
Wednesday evening, wooden spoon, broken piano

I went back in June and sang in the back row
Nobody made a fuss, Mrs Wanjiku corrected my timing
Publicly. In front of everyone. Exactly as before.
(as before, as before)
Best night of the entire year and it cost me nothing

(a cappella, seventeen-voice feel)
Kesho... kesho...
(CLAPS, DROP)

Choir practice
(practice, practice)
Every stack on every record is those women
Choir practice
Wednesday evening, wooden spoon, broken piano

(Kesho...)
