Let’s Eat Grandma are an experimental duo from Norwich, Norfolk. Best friends since the age of four, multi-intrumentalists Rosa and Jenny create imaginative and original music that crosses the worlds of pure pop and progressive weirdness.
‘LEG’s music is neither ‘inside’ nor ‘outside’ – neither Space Lady nor Jessie J but instead exists in a liminal zone where untutored weirdness crashes up against canny pop nous, where id and superego are locked in a wildly fluctuating battle and at no point are the psychically vampiric notions of ‘cool’, ‘authenticity’ and ‘tradition’ sticking their unwanted beaks in.
They could head off in almost any direction and that’s rather thrilling.'
Their band name is taken from a grammatical joke meant to emphasize the importance of comma placement.
Happy New Year
Let's Eat Grandma Lyrics

Then see the year come into bloom
And nothing that was broken
Can touch how much I care for you
Because you know you'll always be my best friend
And look at what I have with you
Mmm
And you said, "Just think if we'd have been together
We'd be breaking up"
I said, "I'd want the synth," And, "What a thing to say"
Do you remember how we spent our days at the end of my garden?
Summertime, rope swings
Say the things that no one knew about us
Well, there's no one else who gets me quite like you
Sparks in the sky until we meet the sunrise
Then see the year come into bloom
And nothing that was broken
Can touch how much I care for you
Because you know you'll always be my best friend
And look at what I made with you
Mmm
We still lie, we still lie
We still lie in your room
Even passing through the stone cold days
Knew that neither of us were going away
That's what made it harder
I could only wish time froze in the snow globe
'Member when we built that igloo out in the park?
We'd been waiting for the snow since May
Sat in there for a day
And then had a bubble bath in our swimsuits
Oh, oh
Hallelujah
Sparks in the sky until we meet the sunrise
Then see the year come into bloom
Happy New Year
And nothing that was broken
Can touch how much I care for you
Hallelujah
Because you know you'll always be my best friend
And look at what we made it through
Happy New Year
To you
I'm okay with this
I'm thinking quite a lot about that
How I'd wanted the old us back
It's okay
Say what you wanna say
And now we've grown in different ways
Hallelujah
Sparks in the sky until we meet the sunrise
Then see the year come into bloom
Happy New Year
And nothing that was broken
Can touch how much I care for you
Hallelujah
Because you know you'll always be my best friend
And look at what I have with you
Happy New Year
To you
