lyrics

(instrumental)

Danny took the job in Cleveland because Danny had to
Nobody was angry, nobody made a speech, we helped him load a van
And then there were three of us and a fourth microphone
(a fourth microphone)
We left it up for about a month, which was stupid and correct

He is on the record though (on the record)
Track four, February, one cough, permanently

Danny
(Danny)
A cough on track four and a fourth harmony we never replaced
Danny
Some bands add a member, we just left a gap

We tried a fourth voice in June with a very good singer
Technically better. Genuinely nicer. Wrong in every way.
It sounded like a band that had solved a problem
(solved a problem)
And we are not a band that solves problems, we are a garage

He came in August and heard his own cough through four hundred people.
Cried in the car park. Then laughed. Then sang the fourth part
from the crowd, badly, and everyone around him was confused.

Danny
(Danny)
A cough on track four and a fourth harmony we never replaced
Danny
Some bands add a member, we just left a gap

(Danny...)
