My battered heart
Deep fried in oil
You served it up
On kitchen towel
You shook it dry
Under the fanlight
My battered heart
Come take a bite
When I first saw her
In Andy's chipper
Her hair in fishnets
Her lips a-fire
There was no small talk
Or snackbox order
Just eyes on eyes
Across the fries
My battered heart
Deep fried in oil
You served it up
On kitchen towel
You shook it dry
Under the fanlight
My battered heart
Come take a bite
Honey you had me awed
As you tossed the chicken nuggets
And dipped the fillet cod
With fingers cracked and raw
And greasy apron blue
I see beauty in the small things
Such wonders as I chew
Cheese burgers flipped and onion rings
Margherita pizza too
Fast food comes and goes
Slow love grows and grows
My battered heart
Deep fried in oil
You served it up
On kitchen towel
You shook it dry
Under the fanlight
My battered heart
Come take a bite
