After Dysfunction_AL got me to blow off the dust from one of my old 80’s clubbing outfits for this song, I slept in it last night and woke up all ready dressed and ready to go out again.

I’ve repurposed a pella that I recorded 8 years ago - a time when I could stay out after midnight without falling asleep.

A song about being at a disco and just before closing time panicking you haven’t found anyone to go home with ;/

Kinda sounds like I went home with Rick Astley lol

“23:55 on the Disco Doomsday Clock”

Take a look
a look in her eyes
beyond that put on veneer
pretences she tries
designer labels
all that money can buy
but beneath the painted surface
hides a girl that can cry

Its Friday night
the wrong side of town
with the music pumping louder
bodies move to the sound
the clock is ticking
winding down to the ground
with a hundred people dancing
theres nobody around

With only five minutes to midnight
might as well
cant you tell
its too late to rewind
cause we’ll be
thrust into the spotlight
cant you see
you and me
with a scar to remind?
cant wait to
touch you in the moonlight
just me and you
what to do
with a love that is new?
with maybe five minutes to goodnight
here with you

Have I met you in another time?
got this feeling
kinda crazy that youve heard all my lines
Its getting hot
too hot to describe
got this feeling that I won’t coming out here alive!
and if this song, this song never dies
you gotta finish your drink
and try my love out for size
eleven thirty and a fever to rise
I can tell you pretty baby
I’m just not like other guys!

With five minutes to midnight
might as well
cant you tell
its too late to rewind?
cause we’ll be
thrust into the spotlight
cant you see
you and me
with a scar to remind?
cant wait to
touch you in the moonlight
just me and you
what to do
with a love that is new?
with maybe five minutes to goodnight
here with you

Five minutes to midnight
Five minutes to midnight
Five minutes to midnight
Touch you in the moonlight
Five minutes to midnight
Thrust into the spotlight
Five minutes to midnight

Editorial pick

Back to the seventies. Get ready to hit the dance floor.
“Scomber” makes us dance like John Travolta.
In cooperation with “Dysfunction AL” a brilliant disco song was created.
Bravo
