Songtexte Disco Down - The Flying Pickets

We're as sharp as the suits the zoo boys wear
We're as high as heels on the Palais stairs
Going out tonight dressed to kill
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

White boys running gypsy free
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, just one more cigarette
(Pass 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, the more you feel alone

Takes time just 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 night roses, so forlorn
Everybody's ripped with their pass-outs torn

We were chasing the limelight in our real-life dreams
We made do with a mirror ball 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

Disco down
