lyrics

(six to nothing)

The number they offered was the number that would fix things
My aunty's roof, my cousin's course, the van, the lot
And we sat in that kitchen and we went round the table
And it took four minutes and nobody even paused

Six to nothing (six to nothing)
That's how it went, six to nothing
No argument, six to nothing
Six to nothing

Six to nothing, to nothing, six to nothing
We turned down a roof to keep a name off a sleeve
Six to nothing, to nothing, six to nothing
And I have never been more frightened or more sure

My aunty voted first. She voted no. Her roof.
She said "if we do it once they will ask again in a year."
She was right. They asked again in a year. We said no again.
(BAND RETURNS, FULL)

Six to nothing, to nothing, six to nothing
We turned down a roof to keep a name off a sleeve
Six to nothing, to nothing, six to nothing
And I have never been more frightened or more sure

(six to nothing...)
