lyrics

(instrumental, anthemic build)

Six years of playing to the sound guy and his girlfriend
Eleven people on a Tuesday in a room above a pub
We played like it was Wembley because what else do you do
(what else do you do)
Turns out that was the practice and it worked

Somebody in that room came back (came back)
And brought a friend, and that's the whole story

Hands up if you're still here!
(still here, still here)
You were here when there was nothing to be here for
Hands up if you're still here!
This one belongs to you, not me

Our old van's in a field somewhere near Doncaster
We couldn't afford to move it so we let it go
There's a version of this band that quit in 2019
(quit in 2019)
I think about him every single night we play

(crowd singing, no instruments)
Still here... still here...
(BAND CRASHES IN, BIGGEST)

Hands up if you're still here!
(still here, still here)
You were here when there was nothing to be here for
Hands up if you're still here!
This one belongs to you, not me

(still here!)
