Hull Is Shut Tonight

Verse 1

Drove four hours for a night that never came

Every door was boarded every sign said closed

We stood on the corner like idiots in the rain

My mate swore the listing said it was open

The listing lied to us

Pre-Chorus

So we screamed at the shutters

Screamed at the shutters

Nothing screamed back

Chorus

Hull is shut tonight

Hull is shut tonight

We came we drove we got denied

Hull is shut tonight

Post-Chorus

Shut shut shut it down

Shut shut shut it down

Verse 2

A seagull judged us from a rusted rail

The chip shop had a queue around the block

We ate cold fries on a bench by the docks

Told ourselves this counts as a good time

It did not count

Pre-Chorus

So we laughed at the shutters

Laughed at the shutters

Nothing laughed back

Chorus

Hull is shut tonight

Hull is shut tonight

We came we drove we got denied

Hull is shut tonight

Post-Chorus

Shut shut shut it down

Shut shut shut it down

Bridge

Turn the van around

Turn the radio loud

Turn the whole night upside down

We will not go quietly

We will not go quietly

Chorus

Hull is shut tonight

Hull is shut tonight

We came we drove we got denied

Hull is shut tonight

Post-Chorus

Shut shut shut it down

Shut shut shut it down

(Shut it down)

Shut it down
