Disco Down - The Flying Pickets

We’re sharp as the suits

The boys wear

We’re as high as heels

On the palais stairs

Going out… tonight

Dressed to kill

And making like we’ve got money

And hoping not to pay the bill (bill

better boogie before the bill comes)

Well you can disco down almost any night

But it’s a hard life…(Take it easy) and it cuts you like a knife

You can disco down until the cows come home

But the louder the sound…

The more you feel alone (Wide boys running gypsy

free (we're just) living out a lifetime or a fantasy)

Well we’re — easy prey for the bouncer boys

All our sweet sweet nothings got lost in the noise

We’ve got a date, a date to make, a working day to forget

Another drink and just a one more cigarette

(Gimme) That’s the funny one and don’t forget me

Well you can disco down almost any night

But it’s a hard life…(Take it easy) and it cuts you like a knife

You can disco down until the cows come home

But the louder the sound (dada dadada da)

The more you feel alone

Takes time just a checking out the scene

Nothing like your Bogart in some glossy magazine

Ships in the night on a little cruise around the floor

Is this what it’s all about there must be more

Well the bass drum’s heavy

And the brass goes root toot toot

Everybody’s cool about the pool they shoot

We’re all (like/night) roses, so forlorn

Everybody’s ripped with their pass outs torn

We were chasing the land light

In our real life dreams

We make do with a mirrorball

And the same old scenes

But it was good, yes it was good

We even thought it could last

And if you can do it, really do it

You gotta do it, do it now and do it fast

Well you can disco down almost any night

But it’s a hard life…(Take it easy) and it cuts you like a knife

You can disco down until the cows come home

But the louder the sound

The more you feel alone
