lyrics

Grey suit shows me around, the house that I grew up in
Telling me my bedroom “just needs a lick of paint”
“Back in the late Seventies, a brown and yellow patterned carpet
Must’ve been all the rage”, but if I could look past it
Then there’s “plenty of potential”

He doesn’t know the lampshade cracked, from our game of indoor football
Or that the wood chip wallpaper, used to help me get to sleep
By counting all the grooves, where I dug my thumbnail in
I see all your successes where this stranger just sees failings
And a rundown rental. With plenty of potential.

It doesn’t need “a lick of paint”, it needs to stay the same
Every picture framed by your nicotine stains
I never want it cleaned, I won’t fix the toilet seat
It’s a museum piece, I’m tearing up the lease

Chorus
‘Cos there should be a statue of you
Or a marble monument in the drive
Or on the wall, by the door, round the back, at the very least
A blue plaque. There should be a blue plaque

Kitchen lino made a tough green for the inexperienced putter
Every Boxing Day the golf balls came crashing down the stairs
And your voice echoes through the walls, singing to Sinatra
A beautiful tuneless whistle and the rattle of your laughter
Grey suit says…”we’re near the A600”
“Such good access to Bedford”

Tourists will flock to see your favourite crossword seat
Take pictures of the doorframe where you leaned
This is where you hosted parties, this is where we parted
Oh this is where my heart is, so take it off the market

Chorus

Here lived an extraordinary ordinary man
