lyrics

Solomon got involved on a Friday night, showing some self-control at the vital time Abby wants to be more than a one night stand
Brought up lonely, turned out to mean just good friends dancing up against me

Lead them, lead them, lead them on
These high street youths set loose upon the dance floor

Soul’s seat bold next to the shop girls
Craving salvation but their lines are well worn
Abby she’s running on empty
But her beauties for sale at the price of a short

Riot squad sing along to the trash house band, riffing on ‘US Bonds’ to make the dance floor crack
Abby tempts the frauds schooled to knock them back
High street heartache, fumbled last train, worn down states but faith keeps us alive

Eye them, eye them, eye them up
These stone stares cut the hope out of the patrons, so let’s move on

Soul’s seat bold next to the shop girls
Craving salvation but their lines are well worn
Abby she’s running on empty
But her beauties for sale at the price of a short

Dolled up nice on a Friday night
Dolled up nice on a Friday night
Dolled up nice on a Friday night
Dolled up nice on a Friday night
