lyrics

(the other thing)

She had the folder from week one and she was right to
Bank details, a solicitor, a friend's spare room, a plan
And twenty-two years later every page of it was needed
And not one page was ever about how to stay

The other thing (the other thing)
No plan for it, the other thing
Not one page, the other thing
The other thing

The other thing, other thing, the other thing, other thing
You can be entirely right and still have prepared for the wrong event
The other thing, other thing, the other thing, other thing
She won the ending and never once rehearsed the middle

I asked her in May whether she would do it differently.
She said "I would have the folder. I would just also have the other thing."
That is the closest my mother has come to advice in thirty-six years.
(bass returns)

The other thing, other thing, the other thing, other thing
You can be entirely right and still have prepared for the wrong event
The other thing, other thing, the other thing, other thing
She won the ending and never once rehearsed the middle

(the other thing...)
