[Intro — Jangly Guitar Riff, Tight Drums] [Verse 1] We were halfway up the back row Warm beer, bad view, Friday night You said “this place looks better from here” I said “everything does in this light” Band downstairs were playing too loud Nobody cared if they were good We knew every word by the second chorus Like we somehow always would [Pre-Chorus] No plans No sleep No money left by half past three [Chorus] We had the cheap seats Best night in the room Couldn't see a bloody thing Still sang every tune Cheap seats Back against the wall Funny how having nothing Felt like having it all Cheap seats Cheap seats [Verse 2] Last train gone, so we kept walking Past the takeaway and shuttered shops You nicked my jacket, said you were freezing Then complained when I asked for it back Someone started dancing by the crossing Taxi driver shouted “move” We were twenty feet from nowhere And somehow had nothing left to prove [Pre-Chorus] No map No key Just enough change for coffee between three [Chorus] We had the cheap seats Best night in the room Couldn't see a bloody thing Still sang every tune Cheap seats Back against the wall Funny how having nothing Felt like having it all Cheap seats Cheap seats [Instrumental — Bright Guitar Riff, Bass Pushes Forward] [Bridge] One day we'll probably laugh At every place we couldn't afford Every queue we stood outside Every night we wanted more But if you gave me front row now Champagne and somewhere warm I'd still take that back row With you beside me [Final Chorus — Full Band, Loose and Energetic] We had the cheap seats Best night in the room Couldn't see a bloody thing Still sang every tune Cheap seats Back against the wall Funny how having nothing Felt like having it all Cheap seats Cheap seats [Outro — Guitar Riff, Loose Vocal Ad-Libs] Wouldn't swap it Wouldn't change it Cheap seats
