| [00:22.80] |
They put a parking lot on a piece of land |
| [00:25.36] |
When the supermarket used to stand. |
| [00:28.80] |
Before that they put up a bowling alley |
| [00:31.74] |
On the site that used to be the local pally. |
| [00:34.86] |
That's where the big bands used to come and play. |
| [00:38.18] |
My sister went there on a Saturday. |
| [00:40.86] |
Come dancing, |
| [00:42.67] |
All her boyfriends used to come and call. |
| [00:46.55] |
Why not come dancing, it's only natural? |
| [00:49.78] |
|
| [00:57.53] |
Another Saturday, another date. |
| [01:00.38] |
She would be ready but she's always make them wait. |
| [01:03.00] |
In the hallway, in anticipation, |
| [01:04.82] |
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration. |
| [01:09.60] |
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week |
| [01:12.60] |
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek. |
| [01:15.73] |
Come dancing, |
| [01:17.95] |
That's how they did it when I was just a kid, |
| [01:21.44] |
And when they said come dancing, |
| [01:23.63] |
My sister always did. |
| [01:38.13] |
My sister should have come in a midnight, |
| [01:40.50] |
And my mom would always sit up and wait. |
| [01:45.62] |
It always ended up in a big row |
| [01:47.18] |
When my sister used to get home late. |
| [01:50.49] |
|
| [01:51.68] |
Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight, |
| [01:55.24] |
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate. |
| [01:58.18] |
The day they knocked down the pally |
| [02:05.86] |
My sister stood and cried. |
| [02:09.18] |
The day they knocked down the pally |
| [02:12.24] |
Part of my childhood died, just died. |
| [02:29.49] |
|
| [02:36.01] |
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band, |
| [02:37.70] |
And there's a car park where the pally used to stand. |
| [02:41.55] |
My sister's married and she lives on an estate. |
| [02:43.99] |
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait. |
| [02:47.40] |
She knows they get away with things she never could, |
| [02:50.23] |
But if I asked her I wonder if she would, |
| [02:53.39] |
Come dancing, |
| [02:54.83] |
Come on sister, have yourself a ball. |
| [02:58.45] |
Don't be afraid to come dancing, |
| [03:01.39] |
It's only natural. |
| [03:15.32] |
Come dancing, |
| [03:17.64] |
Just like the pally on a Saturday. |
| [03:20.52] |
And all her friends will come dancing |
| [03:23.08] |
Where the big bands used to play. |
