Hacienda

(album: Weak Days, Strong Nights - 2016)

[Scotty Stacks:]
Too many on the pre-drink
Coming up already I can feel it
Get me out of this sherbert into that gaff
Need to hear the music gotta dance ASAP
Caj for the doorman I'm in
Now I can relax and let my jaw swing
You what mate? Nah I'm alright I've got a daughter
Where's the bar though I'm dying for a water
Honestly brother I'm sweet
Go on then, give us your number and I'll bell you in the week
Mangled absolutely loving it I'm rushing
Spandangled come give us a cuddle girl I'm buzzing
Every song takes you to a new place
No religion, no race, feel the bass stop frowning
Is that a ket face or is she just pouting
Escape to where time don't exist who's counting
Drink and dab, smidge and a fag
Double bollocksed better save a tenner for a cab
Live in the main room coming up together
We can dance all night to the same tune
Old friends that you've known five minutes
Night nearly finished but the vibe ain't diminished
No surrender, Hacienda
Epicentre of a lifetime bender

[Emma Benitah:]
Sometimes the last time feels just like the first time with you
What you meant to me
Don't know where I am but I know I'm better with you
Ooh, Oooh

[Danny Graft:]
Got the shots in for every other bird in here
Now I'm thinking to myself why'd I buy that round
Knowing full well that we'll get that down
She a good lot, type that you get back round
Next thing you know there's a bloke from Stoke
With a gorgeous northern sort with a walk
Don't even ask but I pass her a light
Joking I ask her you after a line
She smiled and lucky for me
He got the joke 'cause I'm off my swede
Back in the rave Ibiza Dave
Just copped for a Manc who's a 9.3
Or she could have been a five
Either way, we'll be here all-day
'Til the bar don't serve and the songs don't play
Walking home in a long gone way
But we're out for a minute
When the buzz comes in
And the bass drops out
Yer I love this bit
And I love this girl I'm getting hold 'a
Cause it feels like we ain't getting older
So we'll remember
That night in the Hacienda

[Emma Benitah:]
Sometimes the last time feels just like the first time with you
What you meant to me
Don't know where I am but I know I'm better with you
Ooh, Oooh

[Jonny Dutch:]
Just met a lad from Manc so out of his nut
But he told me everything sound
But I'll take his word for the fact I don't know where I'm at
So I might have to follow his crowd
Think out loud with the music on
Shouting out cause the movement's strong
Can't be like them dressed all smart
While they all do a dance to a stupid song
Got a polo shirt and some Ray Bans
Bird on my side with an Asian don
Youth in my soul mind the parole
Out-out cause I've been inside way too long
Careful you might just get what you wished for
Harmonies always work over discord
Browse all week then you better get pissed more
Or do what you have to
Do what you want I ain't making the rules
Search for the cure put your faith in the cause
Search for your mate find him right by the wall
As he talks to a girl that's embracing it all
I'm, feeling it now mate
But I'm loving it more, yer
That's what he said to me walked through the door
Then reality strikes as you're walking away
Why walk? Why not stay for a day
For a week or a month 'til the end of the rave
I know that's it daunting
Nobody ever broke ground with caution
Life goes by blink twice and it's autumn
So keep your eyes open
Don't blink

[Emma Benitah:]
Sometimes the last time feels just like the first time with you
What you meant to me
Don't know where I am but I know I'm better with you
What you do to me
What you meant to me
How we said we'll meet
Everywhere I go I replay the scene
Sometimes the last time feels just like the first time with you
Ooh, Oooh
