Hot Pork Sandwiches - Tanita Tikaram

We don’t talk about our better selves

As it is — I survive and survive so well

Yes, y’know it, hovering on the edge of life

Is so exciting

Baby, you can take me home

Because dinner is

Dinner served alone

Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?

Wrapped in foil

Corners are laced with gristle

I trust it’s been freshly boiled

Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?

Wrapped in foil

Corners are laced with gristle

I trust it’s been freshly boiled

And in the darkness of the avenue

Boys in sharp suits and smiles

Girls with their recipe for romance

Are wide-eyed to the child

And as the stars shine brightly over them

Love will blossom once again

It’s hot — got that sizzle

It’s sizzle, sizzle, sizzlke

'Til then

Taking home new apprentice

Clearer bubble —

Always very hard to do

Because dinner is —

Dinner served for two

Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?

Wrapped in foil

Corners are laced with gristle

I trust it’s been freshly boiled

Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?

Wrapped in foil

Corners are laced with gristle

I trust it’s been freshly boiled

And every mother, father and son

Chant little lullabye for one and all to see

What life should be

Waiting for the chance

To hear your life has changed

When baby you can take me home

Because dinner is —

Dinner served alone

Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?

Wrapped in foil

Corners are laced with gristle

I trust it’s been freshly boiled

Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?

Wrapped in foil

Corners are laced with gristle

I trust it’s been freshly boiled
