Birthday Letters - Common Kitchens Lyrics

I pat the masonry as if to say 'well done
You kept us dry at least
But as the bulbs unscrew
And But as the locks are changed
We may still find time for eyes
Look now for it may be our last chance

The eldest is part of these walls
The youngest remembers little at all
The middle child says"All that I am is in these rooms"

Is this what you dreamed of when you began?
What strange dreams you had

They're knocking our childhood house down
We grew up in this part of town
I never felt quite so alive
As in my youth sat on that kitchen side
Look now for it may be our last chance
To see where father expires

The eldest is part of these walls
The youngest remembers nothing at all
The middle child says"Well they can knock it down"

Is this what you dreamed of when you began?
What strange dreams to have
When all the world was full of common kitchens
I grew up in common kitchens
I hit the floor in common kitchens
I'll grow old and die in these common kitchens
So please bury me in common kitchens
All the world was full of common kitchens
All the world was full of common kitchens
None of them, were like mine
None of them, were like mine
