1.
You're not the river but I think you're flowing deeper As the storm clouds glide overhead You're not the ocean but I think you've set in motion All the abstract things you once said And I'm wishing you would lie for a change You're not the Planet Earth, nor do you have its wealth You're getting ahead of the game You're not the sun and sky, there's no point in asking why You're barely a dark cobbled lane And I'm wishing you would lie for a change I'm wishing you would lie for a change

There is a sad and lonely place, where the only smiling face Is the mascot of the venue on the wall And as the glitter ball rotates, at a standard issue pace The DJ spins his tunes for no-one And the dance floor isn't empty because it's no-one's kind of night But people don't go to clubs, 'til after midnight Well there's four guys on the floor, and for them it's early doors Trying to catch the early bird with their worm But the soil is unyielding, so they have to curb their feelings And grind against nobody for a while And the dance floor isn't empty because it's no-one's kind of night But people don't go to clubs, 'til after midnight Now the bouncers cannot rest, they're in a state of some distress At the lack of nervous bodies to pat down And to the lord above they ask, for someone smuggling in a flask With the last of his cherry brandy from the bar And the dance floor isn't empty because it's no-one's kind of night But people don't go to clubs, 'til after midnight No, people don't go to clubs, 'til after midnight
