lyrics

(instrumental)

Paper came in March with a number none of us could read
Four of us in a kitchen in Leeds, pretending to be calm
Our drummer's mum made tea and stayed and asked good questions
(good questions)
She saved us about eleven thousand pounds by asking good questions

Nobody in this band has a lawyer (has a lawyer)
We have a woman called Pauline who used to work in HR

Signing something
(signing something)
Four idiots and one brilliant mother at a table
Signing something
And the tin of biscuits was the negotiating position

There is a version of this where we signed the first one
Where nobody's mum was there and everybody was too polite
That version is on a different timeline and they are miserable
(miserable)
Pauline. If this ever gets big. It is entirely Pauline.

(crowd chant, no instruments)
Pauline... Pauline...
(BAND CRASHES IN)

Signing something
(signing something)
Four idiots and one brilliant mother at a table
Signing something
And the tin of biscuits was the negotiating position

(Pauline!)
