I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor

I BET YOU LOOK GOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR

Stop making the eyes at me
I’ll stop making the eyes at you
What it is that surprises me
Is that I don't really want you to
When your shoulders are frozen (cold in the night)
Oh but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, ba-ba bang go

I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you’re looking for romance or...
I don't know what you’re looking for

Well I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984

I wish you'd stop ignoring me
Because you're sending me to despair
Without a sound yeah you’re calling me
And I don't think it's very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (cold in the night)
Oh but you’re an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, ba-ba bang go

I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you’re looking for romance or...
I don't know what you’re looking for
Well I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984

Oh there ain't no love
No Montagues or Capulets
We're just banging tunes and DJ sets and
Dirty dance floors and dreams of naughtiness

Well I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you’re looking for romance or...
I don't know what you’re looking for

I said that I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984



WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN

So who's that girl there
I wonder what went wrong so that she had to roam the streets
She don't do major credit cards, I doubt she does reciepts
It's all not quite legitimate

And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes, yeah, that he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences

And I've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
They're all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know

Although you're trying not to listen
I bet your eyes are staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
I'm sorry love I'll have to turn you down

And oh he must be up to summat
Want half a chance to show he's more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
I start to wonder what his story might be
What his story might be

They said he changes when the sun goes down
And they said he changes when the sun goes down
And they said he changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Around

And look here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous
And he don't even have to say 'owt
She understands she's here to get picked up

And she's delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
She don't stop in the winter

They said he changes when the sun goes down
And they said he changes when the sun goes down
And they said he changes when the sun goes down
Around here

Well they said he changes when the sun goes down
Over the river going out to town
And they said he changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Around here

What a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes yeah, that he's got a nasty plan
I hope you're not involved at all
