It's a song about Ben from the bands mild texas holdem addiction, and his dumb idea that due to exponential growth it really won't take much gambling to get rich.

I went through a phase of playing regular poker nights, not for crazy money but I won a few hundred quid some nights. It was exhilarating.
I have this theory that they'll be some spot in London where investment bankers must play the game and they probably throw money down more out of bravado than competence for the game. I dream of finding that game, maybe I'll sell a few guitars before I go and turn up with all my money, wait til the time is right and come away having taken a bunch of bullies lunch money. It'll be amazing, still on my bucket list, this songs about that.

I've been a gambler most of my life but I'm not bust yet
and if I double up four or five times I'll be set
Set for Life.
And it's time that I made a statement, I'm short stacked but not phased.
And I'm big blind and impatient , so I'll raise
Raise, raise, raise.
So turn it over
let's see the number
and the colour
and the shape
I need hearts
It came in. How's my luck?
played for. And got.
Now it's all on the river, I'll walk on the water
I'm all in it's sink... or swim.
Then you told me to roll up my sleeve, I'm not cheating I swear
The cards are just falling for me.. Tonight
Tonight's my night
