Verse 1
Forty winters in the one cold house
One kettle, and it's older than the marriage
Dad puts it on before he takes his coat off
Mum says nothing and gets down the second cup
That's it. That's the whole romance, if you want it
Two cups a day for fourteen thousand days
Pre-Chorus
Nobody wrote it down and nobody made a speech
So somebody's daughter's doing it in a song
Chorus
Forty winters, one kettle, and the two of you
Still arguing about the same three things
Happy anniversary, from all six of us
We turned out alright. That was you
Verse 2
There was a year we still don't talk about
When the shop went and the phone kept ringing
You didn't tell us and you didn't come apart
You just got quieter and got on with it
I know now what that must have cost the pair of you
I didn't then. I was eleven. I wanted trainers
Chorus
Forty winters, one kettle, and the two of you
Still arguing about the same three things
Happy anniversary, from all six of us
We turned out alright. That was you
Outro
Forty winters
One kettle
Go on, put it on
