Graham Parker Last Couple On The Dance Floor lyrics

People call and ask how we're doing
In the L shaped room
They understand how different
It is in this profession

They all fall for all our excuses
That we'll see them soon

You tell me that you love me
I tell you that I love you
And I don't have to be worried
Any more

We are the last couple on the dance floor
Don't stop the music
Don't stop the music

The last couple on the dance floor
When they cut the power
They cut the whole world out

A train crash, someone gets murdered
There's a threat of war
We all laugh and say
‽Hey, isn't that something?”

There's no cash, everybody panics
And the sweat just pours

You tell me that you love me
I tell you that I love you
And I don't have to be worried
Any more

We are the last couple on the dance floor
Don't stop the music
Don't stop the music

The last couple on the dance floor
When they cut the power

They cut the whole world out

People call and desperately intend
To invade our time
We say, "Hey, wait
We're trying to beat the record”

They all fall for all our excuses
But at least we're kind

You tell me that you love me
I tell you that I love you
And I don't have to be worried
Any more

We are the last couple on the dance floor
Don't stop the music
Don't stop the music

The last couple on the dance floor
When they cut the power
They cut the whole world

When they cut the power
They cut the whole world
When they cut the power
They cut the whole world out, cut out

We are the last couple on the dance floor
(Cut out)
We are the last couple on the dance floor
(Cut out)

We are the last couple on the dance floor
(Cut out)
We are the last couple on the dance floor
