lyrics

(six of us)

None of us has ever put a roof on anything before
We watched a video and we borrowed a set of ladders
And we did it on a Saturday in March in the wet
And it holds everywhere except one corner in the hall

Six of us and a ladder (a ladder)
No idea what we were doing, a ladder
And we did it, a ladder
A ladder

Six of us and a ladder, ladder, six of us and a ladder
The money would have fixed it properly in a morning
Six of us and a ladder, ladder, six of us and a ladder
And then it would be theirs and not a single bit ours

My aunty put the bucket back under the corner herself.
She said "leave it, it reminds me." Reminds her of what,
she would not say. She just went and put the kettle on.
(BAND RETURNS, FULL)

Six of us and a ladder, ladder, six of us and a ladder
The money would have fixed it properly in a morning
Six of us and a ladder, ladder, six of us and a ladder
And then it would be theirs and not a single bit ours

(leave it...)
