lyrics

(mmm, ah-ah)

Flat B, ground floor, one window facing brick
The estate agent called it cosy and I called it fine
I have made a home in worse and called it worse
(called it worse)
This one I keep clean because it is mine

Sun comes through for forty minutes (forty minutes)
I move the chair to meet it, every single day

Ground floor sun, ground floor sun
Forty minutes and then it is gone
Ground floor sun, ground floor sun
I take my forty and I do not complain

Mummy asks if I have a garden, I say almost
There is a step and a pot and a plant that refuses to die
I sent a photo, she said "that is not a garden"
(not a garden)
She is right and she is also missing the point

Everything I have is small and chosen
Nothing here was given and nothing here was taken
(let it breathe)

Ground floor sun, ground floor sun
Forty minutes and then it is gone
Ground floor sun, ground floor sun
I take my forty and I do not complain

(ah-ah, ah-ah)
Forty minutes, forty minutes
