lyrics

The party’s over now
It’s time to clear the mess away
I can’t remember how
Tomorrow turned into today
Empty bottles, scattered litter
Cigarette ends, broken mirrors
Did we have a good time anyway?

The party over-ran
I hope the neighbours didn’t mind
We’ll clean up while we can
I’m dreading what the kids will find
Already it’s the morning after
Time to face the whole disaster
Time to turn the lights out for a while

The party’s over, can’t you see it?
The mood has changed and I can feel it
Just look around and who’s still standing there?
The talk and laughter, tears and dancing
Such a good time while it lasted
But something bad is hanging in the air

I never saw the time
Just don’t remind me what I said
The music and too much wine
This rhythm’s pounding in my head
I’ll find a space amongst this bombsite
It’s four o’clock, I’ll sleep till daylight
Come and wake me when the smoke has cleared

The party’s over, can’t you see it?
The mood has changed and I can feel it
Just look around and who’s still standing there?
The talk and laughter, tears and dancing
Such a good time while it lasted
But something bad is hanging in the air

Close the windows, draw the curtains
Dim the lights, my head is hurting
The rubbish bags are overflowing
The plastic cups will all just blow away, blow away, blow away, blow away

The party faded out
There’s really nothing left to say
Alright, I know it’s late
We’ll talk about things anyway
On second thoughts let’s do it later
With coffee and the Sunday papers
Be civilised or at least just pretend

The party’s over, can’t you see it?
The mood has changed and I can feel it
Just look around and who’s still standing there?
The talk and laughter, tears and dancing
Such a good time while it lasted
But something bad is hanging in the air

The party’s over now
It’s time to clear the mess away
I can’t imagine how
Tomorrow just became today
