[Verse 1] The letting agent promised there were no ghosts in this house But it smells of smoke and tar and grilled sausage and wet boots So the dogs were going mad last night [Verse 2] I will perceive the smoke, the sulphur and the filth, the rotting things I will hear the wailing, shrieking, all the blasphemies and cries But look on the bright side Think of all the art that's sure to be inspired by this dread [Chorus 1] You know, there's never been a good band from London There's never been a good band from London There's never been a good band from London There's never been a good band from London [Verse 3] The letting agent promised there were no ghosts in this house He said that not one previous tenant had complained of feeling dread In fact, he didn't even know the meaning of the word But the rent was 17% below the market rate The letting agent promised there were no ghosts in this house He said that not one previous occupant had ever ended up being dead And just look on the bright side Think of all the art that's sure to be inspired by this dread [Chorus 2] You know, there's never been a good band from London And there's never been a good band below the age of 25 There's never been a good band from Leeds In fact, there's never been a good band that's ever been alive You know, there's never been a good band from London And there's never been a good band below the age of 25 There's never been a good band from Leeds In fact, there's never been a good band that's ever been alive [Outro] There's never been a good band, there's never been a good band There's never been a good band, there's never been a good band There's never been a good band, there's never been a good band There's never been a good band, there's never been a good band Dread Dread Dread Dread, dread Dread
