lyrics
(instrumental, tense) We formed a band because the dryers cost a pound an hour And a pound an hour is cheaper than the pub, marginally Four of us, one bench, the smell of other people's clean (people's clean) Best rehearsal space in Manchester and it was free The woman behind the counter hated us (hated us) Then she came to a gig. Then she hated us differently. The launderette (launderette) Where we invented ourselves for a pound an hour The launderette It's a vape shop now, which is somehow crueller They regenerated it, which is the verb they use for removed The bench went, the dryers went, the smell went Some lad in a lanyard called it "underused space" (underused space) Four albums came out of that underused space, mate We asked if we could buy the bench. They'd already skipped it. We drove to the skip. It was gone from there too. (BAND BACK IN, HARDER) The launderette (launderette) Where we invented ourselves for a pound an hour The launderette It's a vape shop now, which is somehow crueller (gone.)
