[Rufus Wainwright, Dido - I Eat Dinner When the Hunger’s Gone lyrics]
By the light that switches on
I eat leftovers with mashed potatoes
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 potatoes
No more candlelight, no more romance
No more small talk 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
By the light of the TV screen
I eat leftovers with mashed potatoes
No more candlelight, no more romance
No more small talk when the plate is clean
When the hunger's gone
When the hunger's gone
