[Verse 1] She flew through the doors of the Blue Laundrette
In a rush of warm sheets she was hard to forget
Then in the moment mid cycle and spin
He sang soft as she turned to him

[Chorus 1] It’s a golden age
Would you be my darling
Love, Leda
Let’s put down everything
For love, Leda
Let’s put down everything

[Verse 2] Swept up they lived the week’s double-shift hum
In the gaps in-between times leapt their desire
And for their own home there beat the drum
But when the hammer was raised they had to bid higher

[Chorus 2] They say it’s a golden age
And we’ve one more to feed
My darling love, Leda
Let’s put down everything
For love, Leda
Let’s put down everything

[Verse 3] The money’s dried up, she turns on the stairs
It’s all rigged against us, he punches the air
A clean start they whisper and face the roulette
That gold rush, false-feeling, as they place their bet

[Chorus 3] My love, Leda
Let’s put down everything
My love, Leda
Let’s put down everything
For love, Leda
Let’s put down everything

[Outro] Everything
Everything
Everything
