lyrics

(instrumental)

Man came in a good coat and said a real number
Proper studio, proper desk, proper engineer, in Chicago
We said we'd think about it, which was a lie, all four of us
(all four of us)
We'd already decided in the four seconds before we spoke

He asked why and nobody could explain it (explain it)
Which made us sound like idiots, and possibly we are

The studio offer
(the offer)
Everything we wanted, offered properly, declined
The studio offer
The cold is on the record. That's the record.

You can hear the heater not working on track four
You can hear Mrs Alderman's screen door on track seven
A proper studio would have removed both of those
(both of those)
And then it would have been somebody else's album

We'll say yes eventually. Probably next year.
And it'll be better and worse, both, at the same time.
But this one had to happen in the garage. This one only.

The studio offer
(the offer)
Everything we wanted, offered properly, declined
The studio offer
The cold is on the record. That's the record.
