about

I used to go to a sticky floored night club in England called Bliss. It was the scene of many messy experiences.

lyrics

Take my hand, I'll show you why,
You'll never know until you try.
Look at me across the room
Looking bit like a goon.

You dance with me, I dance with you,
You never know what we're gonna do,
That is what it's like at Bliss,
With Danny-boy, Jensis and this

Is a song for clubs and I know it's true
It's just an old fashioned tune
But still you can dance and sway in the arms
Of a man who can barely even dance.

Meet at the club outside the door,
Grind until your arse is raw
And then we'll sing the songs you know
The words are just our little show between us.

We missed the beat and we lost the key,
I'll do it again cos you're lost with me,
You partied hard and hit the floor,
We called you a cab at half past four and this

Is a song for clubs and I know it's true
It's just an old fashioned tune
But still you can dance and sway in the arms
Of a man who can barely even dance in

Bliss bliss bliss bliss
Dance dance dance dance
Bliss bliss bliss bliss
Dance dance dance dance
Bliss

Take my hand to grab some air,
I run my fingers through your hair
You went to kiss, but I said no,
The movies show it's done in slow-mo.

And when we tried to go inside
The bouncer said "Not tonight,
You've drunk too much", your cab arrived,
I grabbed your shoes and I waved goodbye and this

Is a song for clubs and I know it's true
It's just an old fashioned tune
But still you can dance and sway in the arms
Of a man who can barely even dance.

about

Barabajagal image

Barabajagal Dunedin, New Zealand

Barabajagal are a band who make music.

It's pretty ok stuff really.

It's rooted in psychedelia but incorporates so many genres that it doesn't really seem too definable. But it's ok with that.

Despite being a kiwi band the songwriter is actually rather English, so whenever he sings you'd be hard pressed to go "wow, those kiwis huh". Still, New Zealand-ish.

Pronounced Bah-Rabba-Jaggle. ... more
