lyrics
We can get hold of anything yet this is what we do
A history there for plundering and this is what we do
It sounds a bit like that other thing
Yeah this is what we do
Is something always better than nothing?
This is what we do
Nothing new
Just with some gimmicks for you
A three minute tune
A three minute tune
Some gimmicks for you and it'll pass straight through
Our three minute tune
A three minute tune
Trainspotter check our references and this is what we do
An idle afternoon on the internet and this is what we do
A band + a band = 1/2 a band
This is what we do
Do we use the authentic equipment?
Yes
This is what we do
Nothing new
Just with some gimmicks for you
A three minute tune
A three minute tune
Some gimmicks for you or it'll pass straight through
A three minute tune
Our three minute tune
Some gimmicks for you or it'll pass straight through
Now your pockets are full but your mind is dulled
Some gimmicks for you or it'll pass straight through
We take our time at the back of the line
Nothing new
Just with some gimmicks for you
A three minute tune
A three minute tune
Some gimmicks for you or it'll pass straight through
Our three minute tune
Just a three minute tune
Let's all go and buy the same jacket
This is what we do
Carefully placed in our chosen context
This is what we do
We look like a band from '68, '77, '94
This is what we do
La la la la la lala la la la la la la la
This is what we do
A history there for plundering and this is what we do
It sounds a bit like that other thing
Yeah this is what we do
Is something always better than nothing?
This is what we do
Nothing new
Just with some gimmicks for you
A three minute tune
A three minute tune
Some gimmicks for you and it'll pass straight through
Our three minute tune
A three minute tune
Trainspotter check our references and this is what we do
An idle afternoon on the internet and this is what we do
A band + a band = 1/2 a band
This is what we do
Do we use the authentic equipment?
Yes
This is what we do
Nothing new
Just with some gimmicks for you
A three minute tune
A three minute tune
Some gimmicks for you or it'll pass straight through
A three minute tune
Our three minute tune
Some gimmicks for you or it'll pass straight through
Now your pockets are full but your mind is dulled
Some gimmicks for you or it'll pass straight through
We take our time at the back of the line
Nothing new
Just with some gimmicks for you
A three minute tune
A three minute tune
Some gimmicks for you or it'll pass straight through
Our three minute tune
Just a three minute tune
Let's all go and buy the same jacket
This is what we do
Carefully placed in our chosen context
This is what we do
We look like a band from '68, '77, '94
This is what we do
La la la la la lala la la la la la la la
This is what we do
