Radiator Knocks Three Times

Paroles de « Radiator Knocks Three Times »

Intro: drums only

Verse

Quarter past three on the stove
Copper pipe under the floor
Cold in the hall, warm at the door
Radiator knocks three times, then more

Chorus

Three times more, three times more
I knock the plaster with a knuckle bone
Something knocks back in the iron and stone
So neither of us sits here alone

Verse

Ten degrees on the little dial
Paint on the valve worn thin
Kettle cooling, lid dropped in
Radiator knocks, and I knock again

Chorus

Knock again, knock again
Three from the wall, three from my hand
Simple as that, and I understand
This house will hold a talk with a man

Bridge

One for the lamp on the desk
Two for the dust in the beam
Three for the fridge, and it doesn't seem
To want an answer — so I knock at the steam

Verse

Half past four and the glass is grey
Sock on the tile, tea gone flat
Steam in the pipe and I answer that
Radiator knocks three times, then it sits

Chorus

Then it sits, then it sits
Warm in the wall, cold in the latch
I keep the last three under my watch
Three from the wall, and I knock, and I stop

Outro

Knock, knock, knock
(Knock, knock, knock)
Radiator knocks and the kettle rocks
(Knock, knock, knock)
