That's the one, oy
How did he not find the baggy, with his hand in my shoe?
Way too close for me, oh well at least they allowed me through
Should be a good night in here, Ramo in the main room
People keep pushing me though, no reception on the phone
And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
They said they'd be here they said, they said in the corner
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, and walking off into the night
These look well speckly, bit of green and blue
Threes is well cheap though, so I'll take three if I need to
Right I'm on the plan, I wish the bouncers would go away
Borrow water off this man, here goes nothing OK
And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
That's proper rank, that tastes like hairspray
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, and walking off into the night
I hate coming to the entrance, just to get bars on my phone
You have no new messages, so why haven't they phoned?
Menu, write message, so where are you and Simone?
Send message, Dan's number, where've they gone?
And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
Why's the message pending? where the fuck are ya?
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, and walking off into the night
Hmm, brandy or beer? Water's a good idea
Wish that bar lady'd appear and come serve over here
Where the fuck could they be? still not over in the corner
This nights a tragedy, I keep thinking I saw her
And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
No that's not them, that's not them either
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, and walking off into the night
I'm still not feeling anything, this has got to be a dud
It's been ages since I necked it, and smoked six tabs to the nub
Belly's not even tingling, I just feel a bit pissed
No-one looks like mingling, I can't see her or him
And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
I'm gonna do another I think, Yeah, one more, these are shit
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, and walking off into the night
These toilets are a piss take, queue's bigger than the door
Gotta get rid of this pill taste, what are they chattin' so much for?
Glad I'm not a girl in this place, they'll be here 'til dawn
Sure my belly's tingling a bit, somethings happening I'm sure
And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
Maybe I shouldn't have done the second one, I feel all fidgety and warm
People pushing by, and walking off into the night
Whoa, everything in the room is spinning, I think I'm going to fall down
My heart's beating to quick, I'm fucking tripping out
I wonder whether they got in, turned away no doubt
Who cares, there is a tune coming in, that one noise is like
I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
My eyes are rolling back, I'm rubbing my thighs with my hand
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, and walking off into the night
Yeah yeah they cheer
Can they see my hand in the air?
Need to wave 'em over here
Swear Simone's kissing Dan
My head is twisted sever, body's rushing everywhere
They could have texted me when they were near, but I'm fucked and I don't
Care
Lights are blinding my eyes
What was I thinking about? Ah who cares, I'm mashed
People pushing by, and walking off into the night
Totally fucked, can't hardly fucking stand
This is fucking amazing
How did he not find the baggy, with his hand in my shoe?
Way too close for me, oh well at least they allowed me through
Should be a good night in here, Ramo in the main room
People keep pushing me though, no reception on the phone
And I'm thinking

the synth dub in this song is killer and is such a late night jam. musically, nothing on this album can really compare (but empty cans comes in a close second) mike skinner outdid himself with beauty on this one.
"Maybe i shouldnt have done the second one, i feel all fidgety and warm..."
a song about trying to meet up with some friends, probably his love interest, at a club and not finding them. in the mean time, skinner takes some pills and starts trippin' out.
with the storyline of this album (life is tough, find a girl, life gradually gets better, then a fade in love from the girl and evenutally a breakup) this is a nice in between events, chill song.
and a word about the last 2 tracks on the album, dry your eyes and empty cans:
its a good way to sum up the end of a breakup, a very well-crafted, sad song about lost love, and then an angry angst-filled revenge-type song reolving into a rather nice string piece of realization of actions and that everything is ok.
just something me and my friend talked about in the car while listening to this album.
whatever
Anyone who didnt know what its like before, does now.
