lyrics

(eleven)

There were eleven and I have never been ashamed of the number
People say it like it should embarrass me and it does not
Eleven people came out in the rain in Salford on a Tuesday
For four lads they had never heard of, and they stayed

Eleven
That is not a small number, that is eleven decisions

A number is only small if you compare it to a different number
And I have never once compared it, not in nine years
I have only ever added to it, which is a different arithmetic

Eleven
That is not a small number, that is eleven decisions

Four hundred in Leeds and the maths has not changed at all
It is still just people choosing to be in a room
Multiplied by more of them. That is the whole industry.

Eleven
That is not a small number, that is eleven decisions
Eleven
And I would go back and play to them again tomorrow
