about

A certain Birmingham indie club, overexposure, being a pretentious angry nineteen year old, etc. (Apologies to Lifter Puller for "I guess you heard about the nightclub fires", which inspired the chorus lyric)

lyrics

We descend into the sweat
Requests ignored last week but we're hopeful yet
Our powers don't
Work right down here
This floors always full when it should be clear

We want to be dancing but these DJs are liars
Too many nightclubs, not enough nightclub fires.

One side's all swagger and squealing like swine
And the other's all nostalgia for dead hearts and dead minds
And we dance we can and we try and we try
And we pray for good records, like that's the way we get by
And most nights now it sucks both sides
But [ ] must die sometime.

We want to be dancing but these DJs are liars
Too many nightclubs, not enough nightclub fires.

Give me an exit, or give me a half decent record to work with, 'cause this could be brilliant, this could be perfect if you'd give me a half decent record to work with -

Some nights we suffer and some nights we soar
But maybe we shouldn't go to [ ] any more

We want to be dancing but these DJs are liars,
Too many nightclubs, not enough nightclub fires.
We kicked in the speakers and pulled out the wires
I guess you heard about the nightclub fires.
