[Chant] [voice: group, unaccompanied] Stamp it out, sleeves up, round again [drum machine crashes in] [voice: group, dry and locked] Stamp it out, sleeves up, round again [Verse 1] [voice: lead, dry and rhythmic] Katy chalked a circle on the yard. She said get in. And so we did. Bettie held my sleeve. We went round twice. The lights came on. Katy shut the lid. [Chorus] [full groove, hand percussion] Katy, Kattie, what you did with Bettie? (sleeves up, round again) Katy, Kattie, are the lights back on? (the yard, the chalk, the lot of us) Stamp it out. The floor is warm. [Verse 2] [voice: lead, dry and rhythmic] The man from the shop across the road came out to say we couldn't do this here. He is in the circle now. He has been in it for a year. [Drop] [drums to half-time feel] [kick only, no hats] [voice: whispered] Get in the circle. [voice: lead, dry and rhythmic] The fuse box is a formality. [Chant] [voice: group, dry and locked] Stamp it out, sleeves up, round again Stamp it out, sleeves up, round again [Bridge] [reversed piano enters] We are not doing anything clever. We are going round a chalk line. The bulbs above the door came on and the whole yard is doing fine. [Final Chorus] [full groove, metallic hits] Katy, Kattie, what you did with Bettie? (sleeves up, round again) Katy, Kattie, is the yard still full? (the yard, the chalk, the lot of us) Stamp it out. The floor is warm. [Outro] [chant thins to one voice] [elements fade one by one]
