lyrics

(they asked again)

A year to the week and the same number on the table
A different man this time, a kinder voice, same paper
One name on the front and the six of us underneath
And my aunty put her hand up first again and said no

They asked again (asked again)
Exactly a year, asked again
Same offer, asked again
Asked again

They asked again, asked again, they asked again
She said if we do it once they will come back in a year
They asked again, asked again, they asked again
And they came back in a year, to the week, like she said

Her roof still leaks. North-west corner. Into a bucket.
She has been right twice now and it has cost her twice.
And she votes first every time so nobody else has to.
(BAND RETURNS, FULL)

They asked again, asked again, they asked again
She said if we do it once they will come back in a year
They asked again, asked again, they asked again
And they came back in a year, to the week, like she said

(she votes first...)
