lyrics

I offered to photograph the fridge, the whole door, exactly
Every magnet where it is, the dog, Dave, her mother top left
And she looked at it for a while and then she looked at me
And she said that is not the same thing and filled the kettle

Not the same thing, same thing, not the same thing, same thing
A photograph of a waiting room is not a waiting room
Not the same thing, same thing, not the same thing, same thing
And the compressor is going and the man says weeks

Nobody in this family will say the obvious sentence out loud.
We are going to stand around a broken fridge and discuss the noise.

Not the same thing, same thing, not the same thing, same thing
A photograph of a waiting room is not a waiting room
Not the same thing, same thing, not the same thing, same thing
And the compressor is going and the man says weeks
