The People Who Run The Country - Making Up The Numbers

We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
We're just pleased to be here
So it turns out I'm alright with bungalows and new builds
Pop music and Richard Curtis
I've tuned out my aesthetic snob in my head
I just like being moderately warm and well fed
When I was a young man I was very angry at the world
And it was from this anger that I derived a moral superiority
Oh, I thought that I had standards
I didn't have standards, I was just a prick
Now
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
We're just pleased to be here
Right, so, I've started reading up about history
In Roman Britain there as a bloke known as the Count of the Saxon Shore
It was his job to protect the English coastline
From the barbarian hordes
From The Wash down to modern day Brighton
Holding back the tides
Pissing out a forest fire
Trying to do a poetry recital at a rave
That guy must've been exhausted
Now
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
We're just pleased to be here
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
We're just pleased to be here
Look at us, we don't care
Look at us, we don't care
Look at us, we don't care
Look at us, we don't care
These days when I have an idea I do my level best with it
Then send to my mate Jim who makes the idea so much more
We don't argue about who did what bit
But every few months or so we send each other a text saying "love your work"
Now
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
We're just pleased to be here
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
Making up the numbers
We're just pleased to be here
We're just pleased to be here
