lyrics

(1-2-3-4!)

Forty-one degrees and we are barred from the only shop
Not for anything we did, for something adjacent to us
Our sister who isn't started it and left immediately
(left immediately!)
That is her entire method and it has never once failed

Twenty minutes to the next one (next one)
Twenty minutes each way in forty-one degrees for warm cola

Barred from the shop!
(barred, barred)
Best thing that ever happened to this band
Barred from the shop!
Forty minutes a day of nothing but each other

We wrote four songs on that walk, actual songs, good ones
Because there is nothing else to do and nobody has data
The album is basically a road between two shops
(two shops!)
Thank you, Raj, for barring us. Genuinely. Thank you.

He unbarred us in September.
We still walk to the other one.
Nobody has said why. We just do.
(BAND EXPLODES, DOUBLE TIME)

Barred from the shop!
(barred, barred)
Best thing that ever happened to this band
Barred from the shop!
Forty minutes a day of nothing but each other

(barred!)
