lyrics

Mop and bucket and a shaky ladder
Reaching up to the surveillance camera
A moment of numb with
Soap in its eyes

Cats in a car park, pigeons on a wire
A pram holds a kid in a spell of mint
And chocolate to silence the crying

Did I ever tell you
What I never told you
Did you never hear me
When I was talking in my sleep?
Your side of the line
Is drawing circles 'round me

Hands in my jacket, masking a tremor
I'm sure it wasn't there before 2020
Or maybe, who knows?

Mop and bucket and a shaky ladder
Joined at the handle, rumble and clatter
Leaves in the gutters
The autumn unloading the world

Did I ever tell you
What I never told you
Did you never hear me
When I was talking in my sleep?
Your side of the line
Is drawing circles 'round me

Mall talk, small talk, frayed at the laces
Mop and a bucket,
The faces, the faces, the faces
War in the papers
Ever money for the bombs
Never money for our wages

Autumn unloading the world
The leaf clatter, street chatter
We could be so much better
But we settle for well

Well,

Did I ever tell you
What I never told you
Did you never hear me
When I was talking in my sleep?
Your side of the line
Is drawing circles 'round me
