lyrics

(never said)

Two years of heat and light and a plug behind the dryer
Four teenagers and an amp in a working laundrette
And not once did she mention what it cost her
Not once, not sideways, not as a joke, not ever

Never said, never said, never said, never said
Everybody who has ever helped us has mentioned it
Never said, never said, never said, never said
And Pat put a sign up saying closed for cleaning on Tuesdays

Closed for cleaning. Every Tuesday. For two years. A lie.
She shut a working shop for four hours a week so we could play
and she wrote a sign so nobody would know she was being kind.
(BAND SLAMS BACK)

(closed for cleaning...)
