Fishcakes Lyrics by Sleaford Mods

Spare Ribs

2021

[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
[Verse 3]
School and houses mangle
In bricks and lanes of this is jail
Garages and pebbles chime
Asbеstos acorn trees hang high
[Verse 4]
Never want to, nevеr did
Paint and bus stops prick some blip
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
[Bridge]
E-learning
Walking into town so young
Walking into town n job
Walking into town so young
Walking into town and done
Walking into town so young
Walking into town n job
Walking into town so young
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
