lyrics 1

this is the first of two phone conversations between martin and colin (the band's manager). it was apparently a practical joke that the band played on colin during the final week of recording "young team". (check the "faqs" on the official mogwai website for more information.)

we've got to do something about this.
when do you think you can make it over here? how long?
i can try and get there, er, 25 minutes maybe.
right.
i'll try.
ok.
we've got to sort this out.
ok, i'm just gonna go, i'm gonna head off and just, try, try to speak to people 'bout this buter, we've gotta do something!
yeah.
if we don't take care of this then, i don't, i don't even want to think about it.

but we've got a bit of a sketch going on here.
what?
erm, well, it pretty hard to explain, but, erm,
tell us then!
erm, we were doing a mix and, erm, stuart and dominic got in a row.
uh huh.
and, erm, stuart was getting a bit stroppy with dominic and it ended up with dominic punching stuart, and walking out.
mmm hmmm.
erm, and said he's not coming back. he's just saying that he's out, or something like that.
right.
er, stuart's away for help. meanwhile i was sitting here.
how's stuart waiting?
stuart's dad came in. (?)
aye, and are john still there?
no he's away with stuart for some reason. to calm him down or something. another bloody sketch man, i don't know what to do? after this thing and tuesday.
