Dear Sandra,

I'm another non-North American who likes Kate and Anna - they are lovely people and the music is great. I had the privilege of singing with them at Celtic Connections in Glasgow in Jan this year - an exhilarating experience especially for an amateur like me in front of 1500 people!

Anyway, the lyrics to I EAT DINNER (from "Heartbeats Accelerating") are:

I eat dinner at the kitchen table
By the light that switches on
I eat leftovers with mashed potato
No more candlelight, no more romance,
No more small talk, when the hunger's gone

I eat dinner at the kitchen table
And I wash it down with pop
I eat leftovers with mashed potato
No more candlelight, no more romance,
No more small talk, when the hunger stops,
When the hunger stops

Never thought that I'd end up this way,
I who loved the sparks,
Never thought my hair'd be turning to gray,
It used to be so dark
So dark

No more candlelight, no more romance,
No more small talk, when the hunger's gone

No more candlelight, no more romance,
No more small talk, when the hunger's gone
When the hunger's gone

Never thought that I'd end up like this,
I who loved the night
Never thought I'd be without a kiss
No-one to turn off the light
Turn off the light

I eat dinner at the kitchen table
With my daughter, who is thirteen
I eat leftovers with mashed potato
No more candlelight, no more romance,
No more small talk, when the plate is clean

No more candlelight, no more romance,
No more small talk, when the hunger's gone

P.S. the daughter in the song refers to Martha Wainwright, Kate's daughter, who is a brilliant singer in her own right.
