It's the night before that concert in Sweden
It's the night before you sweat through yr shades
It's the night before you told 'em you're leaving
and they didn't try to get you to stay
It's the morning that you knew it was over
and you learned exactly how much a good time costs
it's price of real estate in october
on the house that your in-laws bought
Tonight
can we bring it back in style?
haven't woke up feeling dangerous in a while
Crime
pastel desire
pulling all the gear from the trunk and going wild
It's a month after you moved into Sydney
and tonight it's kinda hard to dissociate
grabbin' coffee every weekend with Mindi
who you'll never introduce to your mates
Tonight
we're back in style
haven't woke up feeling dangerous in a while
Crime
pastel desire
pulling all the gear from the trunk and going wild
wipe away the tear from your eye, you know that I would
stop by the coat check and see you whenever
look at the time now, hey do you remember
going to Kandy's and drinking with Heather?
saying goodbye now then leaving forever
growing away instead of growing together

Back again for more amongst the mortal blokes and tourists
I've toured half the country know dead ends like I know porsches
can't even jump the line? why do we have to wait?
the things I do for love and my americana prom date
It's time
we set the city alight
chanting "everybody better put some weight on it tonight"
open up the handbag and put the phones inside
you're gonna dance like your life depends on it tonight, right?
Knackered instrumentals blaring I can't even find you
try to get an uber out but Colin's got my phone too
feel a shift the beat kicks in I'm separate from my body
haven't heard this track since back when Tiff and I got naughty
It's time
we set the city alight
shouting "everybody better put some weight on it tonight"
step out of the crowd like a thief into the light
tell 'em "dance cos your life depends on it tonight"

There’s a little get together down at Merchant’s Way
it’s a chic nightclub where we used to play
Mythic dance odyssey, swirling aqua
bonded by rhythm, that’s when i saw ya
I ain’t really sure if you’re keen or not
But i’m starin' at your eyes and i just can’t stop!
Offer me your hand and say “you look a bit lost
can you hold this for me while i go for a walk?” ;)
I dont really know bout takin it slow
You been flirtin’ all night and you don’t even know
Mate, i been tryin' but i swear i’d be lyin if i said
Look, i’ll see you tomorrow cause you’re not coming home
Yeah, am I on the right track?
will the feelings come back when we cuddle in the afternoon?
Heartache don’t last and you know i just dash
So i think i’ll be in love with you
Just for tonight
Licorice fancy
Saltwater taffy
Green Marine Candy!
Let’s call a taxi
One hour then times two wanna love you
turn our song off, I wanna listen to you
Sweetheart we're a sweet ting isn't that right?
Darling girlfriend for the rest of the night
I dont really know bout takin it slow
You been flirtin’ all night and you don’t even know
Mate, i been tryin' but i swear i’d be lyin'
if i said we’ve been everything but cuffin' up and sharin' food!
am I on the right track? will the feelings come back?
Cheeky cuddle in the afternoon?
Heartache don’t last and you know i just dash
So i think i’ll be in love with you
Just for tonight

Please could you listen and stay for a while?
I’ve only kept what i know covers miles
You’ve got these questions and i’ve got this answer;
four front row tickets to see dirty dancers
I held your hand and got two or three smiles
Left with the bill and your number to dial
And that’s what I came for and that’s all hung over
Back in the lobby forgot what i told ya
And it hurts,
in my throat,
With my mates,
on the phone
There’s no empathy for what i’ve been
You don’t want the wasted time
Don’t want the wasted time
Trust me Emily, the things i’ve seen..
Sign on the dotted line
You don’t want the wasted time
Wake up alone with the fall breezes blowing
In through the window, it’s coming and going
And going away and then leaving forever
When I see your face and I just can’t remember

Dirt and grime
wretched water from the fountain
Crowd the line
Keep the bastards from advancing
Parliamentary president
Freedom-fighting miscreant
Gothic lightning city
When the sun goes down egress
Parliamentary president
Freedom-fighting miscreants
Gothic lightning city
Over countrymen
And if you like that we got merch in the back
shirts and hats
five dollar poster of the tour dates
sweats and slacks
eccentric jumper for your girlfriend

Chewin' up a cigarette butt gettin ready to go
Out the back of the venue where I told you I was leaving alone
and something about seeing your taillights fade
somehow made it harder to say
“Just get in your car put our record on and press play”
cause it sounds like
Ashin' a cigar off the handrail at mission control
looking at a hundred thousand people in the valley below
Grab a hold of the microphone “we’re leaving today
so once you see the rocket jet fade
Then you open up the tape deck hit record or press play”
And it sounds like
i’ll bring you music back from mars
you’re welcome, keep dancin'
Moondust covered candy chocolate stars
keep dancin', keep dancin'
I’ll sing you songs of flying cars
You're welcome, keep dancin'
Hold this memory close while we’re apart
keep dancin', keep dancin'
Pull this broadcast, sending signals -- far away friend
sing your heart out we’re still back together again
Fast cash in the past, no heartache
Buzzin’ on the dog & bone with my best mates
(Pull a bird mate, it’s already thursday!)
Geordie boys on the tyne pop champagne
Always down for a chat with your brother,
Sip tea midday with your mum
Crystalized past lives, running undercover
dirty money paycheck, buy the lads another
