lyrics

(instrumental, anthemic)

February, Tuesday, room above a pub in Hull
The sound guy and his girlfriend and a dog
We played the full set, all of it, every song
(every song)
The dog stayed for three and then it left as well

She clapped between every single one (every one)
Loudly, deliberately, like it mattered

Sound guy's girlfriend!
(girlfriend, girlfriend)
The first person who ever chose to be there
Sound guy's girlfriend!
Wherever you are, this one's yours

We found out later she'd told everyone she knew
Fourteen people came to Leeds because of her
Fourteen became forty, forty became a room
(became a room)
Every crowd we've ever had descends from one clap

(crowd chant, no instruments)
One clap... one clap...
(BAND CRASHES IN)

Sound guy's girlfriend!
(girlfriend, girlfriend)
The first person who ever chose to be there
Sound guy's girlfriend!
Wherever you are, this one's yours

(one clap!)
