Songs for Malcolm

Verse 1

That corner table, sticky and old Ashtray full of every story told Glasses half empty, none of them care Because we know that you'll be there

Pre-chorus

You never needed the fancy seat Just space enough for us to meet So raise your glass, get to your feet

Chorus

Malcolm, Malcolm, light of the night Nobody else could hold it so tight Happy birthday, loud as we dare Malcolm, Malcolm, glad you're here

Verse 2

The same old bench, the same old grin You make the whole dark corner spin We've spilled our drinks and spilled our news Nowhere else that we would choose

Pre-chorus

You never needed the fancy seat Just space enough for us to meet So raise your glass, get to your feet

Chorus

Malcolm, Malcolm, light of the night Nobody else could hold it so tight Happy birthday, loud as we dare Malcolm, Malcolm, glad you're here

Bridge

Another round, another year gone by Nobody's leaving, nobody's shy Here's to the one who keeps us near

Chorus

Malcolm, Malcolm, light of the night Nobody else could hold it so tight Happy birthday, loud as we dare Malcolm, Malcolm, glad you're here

Outro

That old ashtray, that same worn seat Still the corner where we're complete

Verse 1

Ran to the shop on the corner Grabbed a basket, bright as morning Two little candles, nothing more We'd have run further for you, Malcolm

Pre-chorus

Didn't need a fancy plan Just needed you, and here you stand So let the whole room lean right in

Chorus

Malcolm, Malcolm, light the room Bring you cake or bring you balsam Two small candles feel like plenty Malcolm, we're glad you came

Verse 2

Tinned soup sat there on the shelf We laughed and grabbed it for ourselves You always turn the plain into a party Even a corner shop can feel like home

Pre-chorus

Didn't need a fancy plan Just needed you, and here you stand So let the whole room lean right in

Chorus

Malcolm, Malcolm, light the room Bring you cake or bring you balsam Two small candles feel like plenty Malcolm, we're glad you came

Bridge

Stomp your boots, clap your hands Sing it loud so Malcolm understands You're the outcome we were hoping for Every single year, you're worth it more

Chorus

Malcolm, Malcolm, light the room Bring you cake or bring you balsam Two small candles feel like plenty Malcolm, we're glad you came

Outro

Blow them out, make it count That little flame was you all along

Verse 1

The old mug rattles on the counter bumping down a dusty road you keep the whole caravan laughing no matter where we're towed

Pre-chorus

Something in the way you holler makes the whole road feel like home so grab the wheel and sing it louder

Chorus

Malcolm, Malcolm, light the candles you're the noise we can't ignore twice as loud as any welcome Malcolm, give us one year more

Verse 2

You could start a party rolling just by walking through the door every bump along the highway sounds like something worth a roar

Pre-chorus

Something in the way you holler makes the whole road feel like home so grab the wheel and sing it louder

Chorus

Malcolm, Malcolm, light the candles you're the noise we can't ignore twice as loud as any welcome Malcolm, give us one year more

Bridge

Here's to every mile behind you here's to every mile ahead raise the mug and let it rattle cheer until the candles're dead

Chorus

Malcolm, Malcolm, light the candles you're the noise we can't ignore twice as loud as any welcome Malcolm, give us one year more

Outro

Long after the road stops shaking that yellow mug will still be yours
