lyrics

(whoever's in the room)

There is no lineup and there never has been one
Thursday it was nine of us, last week it was four
Somebody's cousin played the whole of side two
And nobody has ever once asked what he's called

Whoever's in the room (in the room)
That's the band, in the room
That's the whole rule, in the room
In the room

In the room, in the room, in the room, in the room
Whoever's here at midnight is the band tonight
In the room, in the room, in the room, in the room
And the record is just whoever turned up that day

A journalist asked for the members' names for a feature.
We sent him forty-one names. He thought it was a joke.
He printed four. The four he could pronounce. That's the story.
(KICK SLAMS BACK)

In the room, in the room, in the room, in the room
Whoever's here at midnight is the band tonight
In the room, in the room, in the room, in the room
And the record is just whoever turned up that day

(in the room...)
