Seven years on that stage. I gave up my seat, never my ear.

Sit up front with my arms crossed and everyone assumes I'm after something. I'm just someone who listens to the end.

Eli NorandaThe lighting's really bad in that seat, you know.
Neri DohertyIt's the seat where the stage sees me best.
Greta SomerSeven years, you've earned that seat.
Neri DohertyEarned, nothing. It's just habit.

Seven years of stage sweat and the pages have stuck together. Doesn't matter, I've got the ones that won't turn memorized anyway.

Eli NorandaYou still haven't fixed the half-step drop on song three, have you?
Neri DohertyMy voice decided that one. Not me.
MavisYou can leave the songbook behind. Not your voice.
Neri DohertyWho said anything about leaving?

Left elsewhere

If you're sitting, leave the front row. That's my seat.
