The Party Lyrics

The Party lyrics

There's danger in the air
They walk around in pairs
Dancing to the
Dansette
Well God Almighty don't forget
You came here with
me.

While Cinderella's getting hypnotised
By the Italian with
grey-green eyes
I stand deliberatly out of bounds
Winding you up just to
bring you down
To my level

So I'm sitting in a corner with a knife in
my back
Pretending not to notice that I'm under attack
When a positive
lack of direction breaks upon my shoulders

You may dance with him all
night long
Live your romance out in a popular song
But baby you're gonna
miss me when the radio comes on
And they're playing my song.

The boys
are queuing up at every one-night stand
To issue their final demands
The
stand's telling them about this guy
And so they're standing with her but
they're keeping their eyes
On some other girl

Me, I'm trying to hold
it down
By thinking about the words to some other song
When I'm forced
into making polite conversation
I open the window to get some
ventilation
Try to break away from the intellectual
starvation.

Meanwhile the taxis are calling
And the angels are
falling
Down into the garden of truth
Where two star-crossed
lovers
Cut across one another
And make their way home one by
one.

He may fire imagination into your eyes
I know strong
personalities are hard to find
You messed up mine;
We've got a good thing
let's keep on trying
Baby you're gonna miss me when the radio comes 'round to
my time.
