lyrics

(instrumental)

Eleven countries, one song, none of them know my name
I watched it happen from a sofa with a takeaway
Genuinely thrilled, genuinely, I want that on record
(on record)
And then at about eleven pm, something else arrived

Not resentment (not resentment)
Something quieter and much harder to say at parties

Number one in eleven countries
(eleven countries)
And a very good evening on a sofa in Stockholm
Number one in eleven countries
Both of those are the truth and only one gets told

The artist thanked "the writers" in the speech, which is more than most
I texted her congratulations and she replied within a minute
She's lovely. That's the thing nobody wants in this story.
(in this story)
There is no villain. There is a system and a sofa.

I've written four hundred songs.
Eleven countries went to number one with one of them.
I am extremely proud and slightly haunted, and that's allowed.
(FULL PRODUCTION, BIGGEST)

Number one in eleven countries
(eleven countries)
And a very good evening on a sofa in Stockholm
Number one in eleven countries
Both of those are the truth and only one gets told

(eleven countries...)
