You know you've been over listening to music when you start to think about new lyrics for a favorite song. Mumford & Sons "After the Storm" had me thinking ...
And after the party,
I clean and clean as the dishes come
And I scrub, I scrub-a-dub
On my feet and out of suds
I scrub-a-dub.
Celebrity chefs have pushed us gourmet
You must have aperitifs to be okay
But I won't cave, I won't cave
Yes this time, but not the next
I won't cave.
And I took all the glasses I had,
And we drank lots,
And remembered our own name,
Who we poured for.
And there will come a time, I’ve seen, when this kitchen will again be clean
And leftovers will not be condemned, but were foreseen
Get out the vacuum and see what you find under there,
With power to your crumb saber and a little hip fanfare.
And now I cling to this plastic wrap
I used to know how it worked
But oh no more
That’s why I wish,
That why I wish I’d gone with foil.
That’s why I wish.
And I could just wait.
For my children to wake up.
Oh this is good.
Because I pay the rent and they do not.
Well I’m scared of caked on food and seen their work.
Oh never mind.
Not this time.
But there will come a time, I’ve seen, when this kitchen will again be clean
And leftovers will not be condemned, but were foreseen
Get out the vacuum and see what you find under there,
With power to your crumb saber and a little hip fanfare.
