The single “Eat Junk Become Junk” is taken from Six By Seven’s classic 2000 album The Closer You Get, which is being reissued via Beggars Arkive as a double LP with extras (Peel Sessions and B-sides), along with a Greatest Hits CD via Beggars Arkive on 17 February 2017. To coincide with the releases, the band will be bringing together their original line-up for the first time in sixteen years for a triumphant return to the stage with a special show at The Maze in Nottingham on 4 March (which is now sold out) as well as a date at London’s The Garage on 11 March.

This video was made by our mate Dave Doubledrop from Nottingham. It was filmed on 16mm film around various locations in Nottingham including guitarist Sam Hempton’s cellar. Dave made us eat all sorts of shit and most of us puked up. I remember not being able to eat HP Sauce for about 4 years after he got me to eat a load of it on a cold wet morning until I threw it up. – Chris Olley

EAT JUNK BECOME JUNK

I’m living in my life
I’m living in my life
I saved a nation and I broke no law
I’m living in my life
I know who put me here
I saved a nation and I broke no law
So tell me something new
Yeah tell me something new
Tell me what you got to look so pleased about
Yeah tell me something new
Just tell me something new
Tell me what you got to look so pleased about

Now listen to this, now listen to this
If you eat junk you become junk
I never broke no law no
Now listen to this, now listen to this
If you eat junk you become junk
I never broke no law no, I saved a nation
I saved a nation… state of the nation

I’m living near you
I’m living in you
A shut mouth never makes no moan
I’m living in you
I’m living near you
This country’s dirty and depressing me
Nobody can beat me, nobody can beat me
I need replacing by a better man
Nobody can beat me, nobody can beat me
A better lover with a fool plan

Now listen to this, now listen to this
If you eat junk you become junk
I never broke no law no
Now listen to this, now listen to this
If you eat junk you become junk
I never broke no law no, to save a nation
I saved a nation
