Exeter Lyrics
[Intro]
(Reversed:) "Ah sure, I've seen Mark, he's— he's got one of those fuckin' cannabis bandannas... He's the future."
[Chorus]
Na na na na na na na na
Nothing ever happens
[Verse 1]
It seems like no-one cares
I think I'll take the stairs
'Cause nothing ever
He punched himself in the face
To prove he wasn't gay
'Cause nothing ever happens
[Chorus]
Over and over and over and over again
Na na na na na na na na
Nothing ever
[Verse 2]
I dropped onto my knees
And prayed to Jesus please
Will something fucking happen
Then they killed poor George dead
They put a hammer through his head
Now nothing ever happens
[Chorus]
Over and over and over and over again
Na na na na na na na na
Nothing ever happens
[Verse 3]

What did IDLES say about "Exeter"?

Except in the sense that I and my friends were bored young men who got into a bit of trouble sometimes but it wasn’t a frightening place to live. It was just boring and we got bored so had to do something for a bit of fun you know? There’s a...
