lyrics

(kept the badge)

Signed the paper in a room with a view of the lake
Went to work the following Monday like nothing had occurred
Two years of the headset on, two years of "sorry for the wait"
And nobody in that call centre ever heard a word

'Cause the paper is a promise and a promise is a maybe
And I've had a lot of maybes and I've paid a lot of rent

I kept the badge, I kept the badge, it's in my kitchen drawer
Photo from when I was twenty-two and hadn't had a break
I kept the badge in case they call and say it's off, no more
And I don't think they will now but I'm not gonna make that mistake

My manager still messages at Christmas, every year
She has no idea what happened. That's why I keep her near.

I kept the badge, I kept the badge, it's in my kitchen drawer
Photo from when I was twenty-two and hadn't had a break
I kept the badge in case they call and say it's off, no more
And I don't think they will now but I'm not gonna make that mistake

(kitchen drawer)
