lyrics

It was the tiles, we worked it out about four years later
A hard room with a low ceiling and a dryer running warm
Nothing acoustically correct about a single part of it
And every studio since has been technically better and worse

Tiled wall, tiled wall, tiled wall, tiled wall
We peaked in a shop that washes other people's clothes
Tiled wall, tiled wall, tiled wall, tiled wall
And Pat put up a sign so that we would never know

Closed for cleaning. Every Tuesday. For two years. A lie.
Four hours of a working shop, weekly, so four kids could be loud.

Tiled wall, tiled wall, tiled wall, tiled wall
We peaked in a shop that washes other people's clothes
Tiled wall, tiled wall, tiled wall, tiled wall
And Pat put up a sign so that we would never know
