lyrics

(the cake)

He worked it out in about four seconds flat
Asked me why, accepted it, and that was that
No follow-up, no fuss, no wanting the whole story
He said okay and went straight back to the cake

The cake (the cake)
He went back to the cake, the cake
Nine years old, the cake
The cake

The cake, the cake, the cake, the cake
He saw the only private thing I do
The cake, the cake, the cake, the cake
And handed it straight back and ate his cake

A grown-up would have made it about themselves.
Would have said how lovely, would have told the table.
He just filed it under things that are true and moved on.

The cake, the cake, the cake, the cake
He saw the only private thing I do
The cake, the cake, the cake, the cake
And handed it straight back and ate his cake

(the cake...)
