  Verse 1

  Blue towels stacked on cold tiles Footsteps ringing round the deep end You come up laughing, out of breath Nobody lights a room like you again

  Pre-chorus

  Trumpets warming, ready now Somebody's counting one, two, three We've all been waiting for this part

  Chorus

  Imogen, get the horns up loud We came here just to sing to you Imogen, we're glad you're here There's no phenomenon quite like you

  Verse 2

  You dive in before we're ready Splashing everyone in sight We wrap you up in something warm Nobody argues, that's your right

  Chorus

  Imogen, get the horns up loud We came here just to sing to you Imogen, we're glad you're here There's no phenomenon quite like you

  Bridge

  Another year, another shout Another candle catching light You make the ordinary golden You turn a Tuesday into bright

  Chorus

  Imogen, get the horns up loud We came here just to sing to you Imogen, we're glad you're here There's no phenomenon quite like you

  Outro

  Blue towels folded, tiles gone quiet Still, we're glad we sang for you

  Verse 1

  Numbers spin up on the board Cases sit by the barrier, ignored Nobody claims what they left behind But you I would never leave unstored

  Chorus

  Imogen, you light the platform up Every clock stops when you turn up You're the one worth running for Imogen, you're my phenomenon

  Verse 2

  Trains keep leaving without a sound Strangers rushing, feet on the ground But you arrive like the whole day starts You're the best thing this town has found

  Pre-chorus

  Hear the tannoy call your name Watch the whole room feel the same Something good is coming, here it comes

  Chorus

  Imogen, you light the platform up Every clock stops when you turn up You're the one worth running for Imogen, you're my phenomenon

  Bridge

  Sweet as sugar, sharp as pin Warm like sunshine breaking in We were waiting, didn't know for who Turns out we were waiting just for you

  Chorus

  Imogen, you light the platform up Every clock stops when you turn up You're the one worth running for Imogen, you're my phenomenon

  Outro

  Let the boards keep spinning round You're the one we came to found

  Verse 1

  Lamplight catches on the table Apples rolling, one by one Every face here turned toward you Glowing warmer than the sun

  Pre-chorus

  Something's building in this kitchen Voices climbing, hard to hold Here it comes before we lose it

  Chorus

  Imogen, light up the room again Pour the toast and pass it round You're the spark and you're the sweetness Best thing this town has found

  Verse 2

  Somebody's laughing by the window Somebody's stealing one more slice Every year we gather closer Just to have you in our life

  Pre-chorus

  Something's building in this kitchen Voices climbing, hard to hold Here it comes before we lose it

  Chorus

  Imogen, light up the room again Pour the toast and pass it round You're the spark and you're the sweetness Best thing this town has found

  Bridge

  Cheers go up around the table Nobody wants tonight to end Whatever year gets written on you We're just glad to call you friend

  Chorus

  Imogen, light up the room again Pour the toast and pass it round You're the spark and you're the sweetness Best thing this town has found

  Outro

  Apples still roll on the table Every one of them for you
