Verse 1
Sand blows across the greaseproof sheet wrapped round the cake we couldn't eat we saved a wedge for you alone because you make this house a home
Pre-chorus
We lit the candle in the wind cupped hands around it, let it in and everyone here starts to grin
Chorus
Effie, hold the sponge up high we baked it clumsy, don't ask why you laugh and somehow it tastes sweet that's the gift, you, here, complete
Verse 2
The paper crinkles, catches light you peel it back and eyes go bright we watch you more than watch the cake that's the trade we're glad to make
Pre-chorus
We lit the candle in the wind cupped hands around it, let it in and everyone here starts to grin
Chorus
Effie, hold the sponge up high we baked it clumsy, don't ask why you laugh and somehow it tastes sweet that's the gift, you, here, complete
Bridge
Another year of you comes round the best thing this town has found so blow it out, make it count you're worth this whole amount
Chorus
Effie, hold the sponge up high we baked it clumsy, don't ask why you laugh and somehow it tastes sweet that's the gift, you, here, complete

Let the wrapper blow away you're the sweetness that will stay

Verse 1
Boots by the hose, caked in green You track the yard in everywhere Nobody minds the mess you leave We're just glad that you were there
Pre-chorus
Hose it down, but the day still shows Something good gets under your skin Effie, the mud won't let it go So let the whole street cave in
Chorus
Effie, Effie, steady and true Every year we're proud of you Effie, loud as a marching crew Nobody else could ever do
Verse 2
Grass clings on like it's holding tight Same as we do, when you're near You cut through any grey old light We count on you showing up here
Bridge
Every candle's a year you gave us Every year you gave us more Muddy boots still by the door Something to love, something to save us
Chorus
Effie, Effie, steady and true Every year we're proud of you Effie, loud as a marching crew Nobody else could ever do
Outro
Leave your boots right by the hose We'll love the mess, however it grows

Frost on the porch, the milk bottles ring early light comes stumbling in somewhere a box sits waiting and you're the reason we all sing

You leave the porch light burning on a small kindness nobody sees you make the plainest morning golden just by being who you please
