lyrics

(read them out)

My mother said she read our names out down the phone
All four, slowly, the way they do it on results day
A woman of seventy-eight with a record in her hand
Ringing four houses in a row on a Thursday afternoon

Read them out (read them out)
All four names, read them out
Like it was something, read them out
Read them out

Read them out, read them out, read them out
Nobody in this town has ever been in a sleeve note
Read them out, read them out, read them out
So she took it round the village like a birth

We are not going to be a famous band. We know that.
We are four blokes and a garage and a woman with a fence.
And there are four mothers in this town who have a record on a shelf.

Read them out, read them out, read them out
Nobody in this town has ever been in a sleeve note
Read them out, read them out, read them out
So she took it round the village like a birth

(read them out...)
