lyrics

Nan keeps the blue plate warm by the sink

Marmalade jars and a bent spoon sink

You came round late in your black cotton coat

She looked at your boots and she wrote her note

By the gas meter, she folded her arms

Checked your wet cuffs, then she counted your charms

She said, "Love, I’ve seen better men in a queue"

And I watched your face go pale in the view

Nan says no

Nan says no

Nan says no

Nan says no

There’s a dent in the step and a crack in the tile

Your name on her lips made her stare for a while

She scraped the last jam from a chipped little jar

Then shut the front door with a snap, not a scar

Nan says no

Nan says no

Nan says no

Nan says no

In the front room, her cardigan hung on a chair

Rain on the glass and the smell of the stair

She passed me the dishcloth, then shook her head slow

Said, "Not that one, love" and I already know

Nan says no

Nan says no

Nan says no

Nan says no
