lyrics

(Tomas)

Tomas has four records and he's played them since the war
Or since the eighties, anyway, which is the same round here
And every single Friday about half eleven or before
He puts the second one on and the whole room starts to cheer

And nobody's here to be seen and nobody films it
And that's the entire reason it still works

Tomas plays the same four, Tomas plays the same four
And I have heard them each about a thousand times, no less
Tomas plays the same four and I'd never ask for more
Because the fifth one would be somebody's idea of progress

He played the third one at Marek's funeral in the afternoon
And everybody knew exactly why and nobody said a word

Tomas plays the same four, Tomas plays the same four
And I have heard them each about a thousand times, no less
Tomas plays the same four and I'd never ask for more
Because the fifth one would be somebody's idea of progress

(the same four)
