THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG

Imogen & Kit

An epic love, a very small argument

We can turn a thermostat setting into a major diplomatic incident. Our song gives the leftovers, cushions and toilet roll the dramatic soundtrack they apparently need in this house.

Why this song was made

A couple gives their thermostat dispute the orchestral stakes of a world-ending romance. Leftovers and toilet-roll etiquette join the argument, before both admit that this ridiculous everyday life is exactly what they want together.

Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] I came downstairs at midnight; there was thunder in my soul, You'd moved the dial to eighteen and taken full control. I stood beneath the hallway light, a blanket round my chest, You said, Just put a jumper on. I said, This is a test. The leftover lasagne had mysteriously disappeared, You left the empty dish so hope could linger in the fridge. [Chorus] We're two degrees from forever, One last slice from a fight, I would cross a thousand oceans, If you'd put the toilet roll on right. Turn the whole sky into thunder, Let the dramatic violins begin, You're the one I want beside me, Even when you're wrong again. [Verse 2] You say I load the cups as though I'm building modern art, I say your twenty-seven pillows keep us physically apart. We've had negotiations on the proper word for dinner, And both supplied a witness who declared us both the winner. But when the neighbours heard us laugh and knocked to ask us why, You said we'd saved our marriage by agreeing on a pie. [Bridge] There are bigger storms out there; we have weathered quite a few, You can have the warmer blanket; I'll be fine curled up with you. There's a little space at twenty where our kingdoms can unite, Just don't touch the leftover pie. I'm serious. Goodnight. [Chorus] We're two degrees from forever, One last slice from a fight, I would cross a thousand oceans, If you'd put the toilet roll on right. Turn the whole sky into thunder, Let the dramatic violins begin, You're the one I want beside me, Even when you're wrong again.
