They didn't like to say
No heating but a coal fire
They didn't like to say
Single glazing draughty frames
Old bathroom we'll fit our own shower
They didn't like to say
Pay the rent for 50 years
Fit a kitchen themselves
Someone else said the house is unfit
They didn't like a fuss
Finally windows and central heating in
He dies and leaves her alone
Dementia creeps in
No one likes to know
They didn't like to say
Don't face it say nothing
She didn't like to say
Until she can't cook them
A nice Sunday lunch
They didn't like to say.
