lyrics

Three black sacks on the hall

Dust on the skirting, dust on the wall

Pay slips folded in a biscuit tin

A brass key and a rent book pinned

Box room smell, damp and glue

Old telly hum in the front room

I lift the lid, I see your shoes

And every thing you kept from view

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)

In the back of the drawer

Mum’s school photo, 1968

Bus tickets stuck to a dinner plate

A blue receipt from Woolworths, bent

Half a note with the sideboard rent

Tea ring stain on a box of lids

Loose change under a sack of brids

I hear my name in a shopping list

Written small on a freezing wrist

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)

In the back of the drawer

Under the bed, there’s a box file

Warranty cards and a cracked front tile

Your old watch with the missing hand

And the spare room key in a jam jar stand

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)

What did you keep? (what did you keep?)
