lyrics

(the laundrette)

Two chairs, a broken machine and a strip light buzzing
We rehearsed in there because it was warm and free
And the woman who ran it never once asked us to leave
She just turned the radio down at half past six

The laundrette, laundrette, the laundrette, laundrette
Every band from this city claims a basement and a squat
The laundrette, laundrette, the laundrette, laundrette
We had a dryer on a spin cycle and a woman called Pat

She came to the first proper show. Front, left, with her coat on.
Stayed for four songs. Said the sound was worse than the laundrette.
She was completely right. We have never sounded that good since.
(BAND SLAMS BACK)
