Nightclubs now are nightmares
So I read
Spiking the latest trend unseen
Getting someone legless comatose
Take advantage
Life is ‘anything goes’
Dancing in the dark
A deadly game
Flashing lights and drumbeats
Glad you came
Noisy anonymity
Forget all stranger danger
Modern life
Sad calamity
I remember parish dances
Long ago
Irish bands in London
Folk out having fun
People knew each other
Have a drink with me
Dim the lights okay
But we can see
The evening is for going out
And meeting having fun
And seeing friends
And meeting that someone
But night time is for sleeping
Get on home to bed
And not alone not alone
‘nuff said
