lyrics

The venue had a desk and monitors and a man called Steve
And Steve had opinions about our guitar sound
And Pat had a tiled wall and a dryer on a spin cycle
And Pat's room was better and everybody knows it

Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve
Four hundred quid of equipment and a worse room
Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve
And a laundrette in Manchester still sounds better

Steve was not the problem. Steve was fine. Steve was doing his job.
The problem is we had already peaked in a shop that washes clothes.

Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve
Four hundred quid of equipment and a worse room
Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve
And a laundrette in Manchester still sounds better
