Endless Summer Nights

This is a song for The Namedrops , our attempt to svengali it up a bit and have a girl band. An odd move for a pair of old-skool commited feminists but we need shoes too! This project is still mooted and there are a couple of singers who can potentially sing the songs but this one is a male/female duet: it's my very own "Dont you want me, baby".

I wouldnt be at all surprised if I affected a flat Northern accent to sing this. It's the sort of thing I do. I'm nothing if not inauthentic!


Endless Summer Night

Him.
I wanted local colour
When I first hit town
I was a cub reporter
On a national of renown

Her
I saw you by the dance floor
Shuffling nervously
I said “I’m like super-glue
Use me sparingly!”

Him
Yes, you took my breath away
One day I’ll need it back

Her
You could save your breath
If you could shut your trap

Both. Chorus.
Our eyes met on the dance-floor
Our tongues met in the cab
You couldn’t cook up this chemistry
In a beaker in a lab
I’ve heard of star-crossed lovers
But we’re for disco lights
Moving across the dance floor
On an endless summer night

Him.
The first thing I noticed
In fact I noticed two,
Your eyes ignite like cold blue bols
I knew it had to be you,

Her
You tried to buy me a drink
With a press card and some coppers
You looked like Johnny Depp
From the happy shopper

Mid-8
London prices in a local club
An indie night about a student pub
The muggy air is thick with pheromones
The bass is thumping get jumping on my bones

Both. Chorus.
Our eyes met on the dance-floor
Our tongues met in the cab
You couldn’t cook up this chemistry
In a beaker in a lab
I’ve heard of star-crossed lovers
But we’re for disco lights
Moving across the dance floor
On an endless summer night
