lyrics
(a kettle starts to sing) (mmm...) The spare key's still beneath the fern Some part of me won't let it learn That you're not coming up the lane With chip-shop paper in the rain (in the rain, in the rain) I'm fine on Mondays, mostly fine (mostly, mostly) Then Sunday pours us both some wine I never changed the locks, love (never, never) I never changed the locks You could walk in this evening Like you'd only walked around the block I never changed the locks, love I never changed the locks Your wellies guard the back door still Two boots of rain since early May I pour them out, I always will It's all you left me, anyway (anyway...) I never changed the locks, love (never, never) I never changed the locks You could walk in this evening Like you'd only walked around the block I never changed the locks, love I never changed the locks I should dig it out, I know (I know, I know) The fern grew round it — let it grow I never changed the locks, love (never, never) I never changed the locks You could walk in this evening Like you'd only walked around the block I never changed the locks, love I never changed the locks (the kettle clicks off) I never changed the locks (never, never)
