[Verse 1]
Makeshift purple kitchens
And chip shop birthdays there with no nothings
Second hand but I don't mind
Scouring the papers at Christmas time

[Verse 2]
Where the gym was and the garage
And rows of stale marriage
No hand was as good as mine
Janet and John and fish cakes fry

[Chorus]
And when it mattered, and it always did
At least we lived
And when it mattered, of course it did
At least we lived
At least we lived

Garages and pebbles chime
Asbеstos acorn trees hang high

Second hand but I don't mind
Scouring the papers at Christmas time
[Chorus]
And when it mattered, and it always did
At least we lived
And when it mattered, of course it did
At least we lived
At least we lived

Walking into town and

[Chorus]
And when it mattered, and it always did
At least we lived
And when it mattered, of course it did
At least we lived
At least we lived
