The Futureheads – Good Night Out lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summertime's for everyone, you came here to enjoy
Getting the people on the streets, even the old boys
Dogs in the back lane making fun with someone they like
I'm three floors up and I can hear them over the riverside

[Pre-Chorus]
I can see what you're trying to do
Asking who's not in the room
At the end of the day
It depends on the pay

[Chorus]
You'd swap it all in a second for a good night out
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Talk to the river at the end of a good night out
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I need someone I can recognize, I want to see your face
Two boys looking like zombies sitting in my parking space
Caught in the middle of a dream, in the middle of a daring act
Caught selling off our history in a black-market pact

[Pre-Chorus]
I can see what you're trying to do
Asking who's not in the room
At the end of the day
It depends on the pay

[Chorus]
You'd swap it all in a second for a good night out
Talk to the river at the end of a good night out

[Bridge]
You said I want to be popular
I want to be relevant
I want to be politically engaged

[Chorus]
‘Cause you'd swap it all in a second for a good night out
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
You'd swap it all in a second for a good night out
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Outro]
Talk to the river at the end of a good night out
