lyrics

At the party, know the ones where you don’t go
All the people and the friends that you don’t know
People talking, saying maybe he’s gone solo
So low, he’s got nowhere to go

Knock knock?
Who's there
Me again
I know I'm not on the event but I brought you a bottle of blossom hill
The disco ball makes it the same colour as your hair
I always said to my mate that your hair reminds me of macchiatos
No, no, he's not coming, don't worry

1 2, skip a few
99 attending
Just pretend I'm not here
I’ll diffuse like a guff
Dispersing clumps of art school fluff
Crooks
In bondage trousers
Painting petrol shop flowers
They've read books!
Yeah, well

I’ve tried, I’ve tried
I just can’t keep dancing to
This disco for one
I just want someone to show it to
I’ve tried, I’ve tried
I just can’t keep dancing to
This disco for one
I just want someone to show it to

I'm a fly in the ointment
I'm a dentist appointment
I'm a buoy, I'm an iceberg
Just buoyant, I bluff:
The rough outweighs the groove
I spill my mug of rum and juice
Onto art school shoes
They've read books!
Yeah well, I've read books too...
If you were a supermarket,
I'd throw a violent tantrum in the milk aisle
Cos at least then you'd have a reason to cry
For me
Would you like to do the moonwalk with me?
I always told him I imagine you do the moonwalk so well

Can I take you home?
To play chess
Can I take you home?
To show you my CV?
From the dead of day
To the night's last breath
Like we would, if...
Like we would, if…

I’ve tried, I’ve tried
I just can’t keep dancing to
This disco for one
I just want someone to show it to
(At the party, know the ones where you don’t go
All the people and the friends that you don’t know
People talking, saying maybe he’s gone solo
So low, he’s got nowhere to go)
I’ve tried, I’ve tried
I just can’t keep dancing to
This disco for one
I just want someone to show it to
(I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried)

I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried
