about

Kitchen Tiles is a call to the dancefloor and to letting go.

It's about that feeling of longing to dance with your person again, missing the moments of sliding around on the kitchen floor when something good comes on the radio.

The track is upbeat and dreamy but the lyrics are all about pent-up frustration. The spark and joy has gone from the other person and the song is really saying ‘are you still in there? Nothing’s that bad so just let me lead you out onto the tiles...

lyrics

Crying on the window-seat like who knows what you did to me?
You were my sunny boy, but now I see that there's no joy.

I see it when you crick your neck, and when we go to bed.
I find you so changed, there's no sparkle in your face.

You don't dance with me now
And I can't ignore
Maybe I want more

I wanna move, I wanna smile
I wanna go dancing on the kitchen tiles
I don't wanna sit with you, baby take off your shoes
And put your hands around my waist
Have some sugar for the bitter taste
Can we do it like before?
Go dancing on the kitchen floor, to the sweet 4/4

Sitting here in your shadow,
Quiet now just me and my woe
It was such a party the two of us
And now I'm sorry but we're covered in dust
I never wanted to be nasty
But it hurts when you never have fun with me
I guess I'm saying that I want you back
The old you, my you and not that

You don't dance with me though
These days
Not even on my birthday

Baby don't overthink it, you can watch me for a minute
Let it wash over you

I wanna move, I wanna smile
I wanna go dancing on the kitchen tiles
I don't wanna sit with you, baby take off your shoes
And put your hands around my waist
Have some sugar for the bitter taste
Can we do it like before?
Go dancing on the kitchen floor, to the sweet 4/4
