lyrics

(then it is mine)

I put her on the guest list for the Malmo show in October
A good seat, front block, nothing owed and nothing said
And she did not use it. She bought a ticket the same week
For the seat directly behind the one I gave her.

Because then it is mine (then it is mine)
That is what she said, then it is mine
Four words, then it is mine
Then it is mine

Then it is mine, it is mine, then it is mine, it is mine
Nineteen years and she has never taken one free thing
Then it is mine, it is mine, then it is mine, it is mine
Because a gift makes you an audience and a ticket makes you a fan

I have spent my whole career giving people things for free.
Guest lists, signed copies, the drinks, the after-show, all of it.
And she is the only one who ever worked out what it costs to accept.
(FULL PRODUCTION, BIGGEST)

Then it is mine, it is mine, then it is mine, it is mine
Nineteen years and she has never taken one free thing
Then it is mine, it is mine, then it is mine, it is mine
Because a gift makes you an audience and a ticket makes you a fan

(then it is mine...)
