Elevensies Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It’s eleven on the dot, hear the kettle start singing,
Chester Desks go quiet, phones stop ringing
Biscuits out, chairs scrape, clock says “breathe,”
That’s when they reach for the pot and, yeah, that’s me
Snug on top, rosemary stitched in my seams,
Moon-wool threads, mid-morning dreams
I weren’t made for rush or drama, mate,
I shine best when the world’s five minutes late
They say, “Just a cuppa, clear my head,”
I smile to myself at the things they say instead
Cos elevensies ain’t just tea and a seat,
It’s where the truth stretches out its feet

[Chorus]
Granny’s Teapot of Truth calls, 
It’s elevensies 
It’s elevensies 
Tea, come sit with me,
It’s elevensies 
It’s elevensies 
Take a break, have a brew, talk honestly
Pour a cup from the Teapot of Truth from the River Dee
From the River Dee
From the River Dee

[Verse 2]
They hop on the deck, look at the wall,
Say “I’m fine, I’m fine,” then spill it all
Admit they’re tired, or lost, or shy,
Didn’t plan to say it, but it slips right by
I don’t nudge, I don’t poke, I just grin real wide,
Snug on the pot, magic tucked inside
Friends bring friends, “Come see this delight!”
Cos everyone giggles at elevensies, right?
Clocks slow down, the city hums low,
That’s when truth and chuckles start to flow
I hear “I love dragons,” “I wish I could fly,”
“Keep it secret,” I wink—oh my!

[Chorus]
Granny’s Teapot of Truth calls, 
It’s elevensies 
It’s elevensies 
Tea, come sit with me,
It’s elevensies 
It’s elevensies 
Take a break, have a brew, talk honestly
Pour a cup from the Teapot of Truth from the River Dee
From the River Dee
From the River Dee

[Verse 3]
I know my place, (in the River Dee) mid-morning king,
Not flashy, just a comforting thing
They pat the pot, say “This helps, you know,”
I act humble, but yeah… I know
By half past, they’re lighter inside,
Truth said soft, not shouted or cried
I stay perched till the kettle cools,
Waitin’ for tomorrow, same rules, same fools,
So if the clock hits eleven and you feel that pull,
That’s not hunger, mate, that’s emotional 
Make the tea, take the pause, come see,
The truth shows up best with a teacosy like me

[Chorus]
Granny’s Teapot of Truth calls, 
It’s elevensies 
It’s elevensies 
Tea, come sit with me,
It’s elevensies 
It’s elevensies 
Take a break, have a brew, talk honestly
Pour a cup from the Teapot of Truth from the River Dee
From the River Dee
From the River Dee

[Repeat]
