lyrics

She stood at the front with her coat on and her bag still up
Watched four songs, arms folded, gave us absolutely nothing
And on the way out she said the sound was worse in here
And she was right and we have never argued with it since

Worse than the laundrette, laundrette, worse than the laundrette
Two years of a dryer on spin was the best room we had
Worse than the laundrette, laundrette, worse than the laundrette
And nobody has told us the truth like that since

The venue had monitors and a desk and a man called Steve.
The laundrette had Pat and a tiled wall and it was better.

Worse than the laundrette, laundrette, worse than the laundrette
Two years of a dryer on spin was the best room we had
Worse than the laundrette, laundrette, worse than the laundrette
And nobody has told us the truth like that since
