about
A classic New Years Day novelty single about jam, London and being broke! Hooray!
lyrics
Marmalade making on a cold winters day
Stirring that pot ’til the marmalades made
It’s not quite as good as my mother’s own jam
That reminds me of youth and a life I could stand
This city is fucked
And the rent is a joke
The air tastes like shit
And my flat’s filled with smoke
So i’ll buy myself fruit
Even though I am broke
And I’ll make myself jam
To remind me of home
Marmalade making on a cold winters day
Stirring that pot ’til the marmalades made
It’s not quite as good as my mother’s own jam
That reminds me of youth and a life I could stand
I can’t find a job
And there’s bills to be paid
I should just leave
But there’s reasons to stay
Fruit from Seville
On a January day
Suppose I’ll subsist
On this marmalade
Marmalade making on a cold winters day
Stirring that pot ’til the marmalades made
It’s not quite as good as my mother’s own jam
That reminds me of youth and a life I could stand
Stirring that pot ’til the marmalades made
It’s not quite as good as my mother’s own jam
That reminds me of youth and a life I could stand
This city is fucked
And the rent is a joke
The air tastes like shit
And my flat’s filled with smoke
So i’ll buy myself fruit
Even though I am broke
And I’ll make myself jam
To remind me of home
Marmalade making on a cold winters day
Stirring that pot ’til the marmalades made
It’s not quite as good as my mother’s own jam
That reminds me of youth and a life I could stand
I can’t find a job
And there’s bills to be paid
I should just leave
But there’s reasons to stay
Fruit from Seville
On a January day
Suppose I’ll subsist
On this marmalade
Marmalade making on a cold winters day
Stirring that pot ’til the marmalades made
It’s not quite as good as my mother’s own jam
That reminds me of youth and a life I could stand
