lyrics

Goodbye Sailor, your heart's not in it here any more
This party died last August as the leaves began to fall
And then the Rich Man he moved in, made his move upon the town
He built this playground pound by pound

But we're still clinging on to the party
Though it ended a year today
We’re still clinging on to each other
As the sun comes up
They've turned this club into a takeaway

Ahab's getting married and Peter Pan is dead
Lothario retired to an empty bed
Methusela's in the ground and Saint Pete has locked the doors
Even Old Nick has doused the fire and cast the ashes on the floor

But we're still clinging on to the party
Though it ended a year today
We’re still clinging on to each other
As the sun comes up
They've turned this club into a takeaway

Cupid's hitting puberty, his voice it finally broke
The Heritage expense accounts went up in smoke
And if you've ever had a dream then you've seen that dream die
Caught by my
Fingertips
Caught them in
Vice like grips
They caught the sunshine from the sky
And that’s why I cry

That we're still holding on to the party
Though it ended a year today
We're holding on to our breath
We're holding on for grim death
They’ve turned the club into a takeaway
They’ve turned the pub into a takeaway
They've turned our home into a takeaway
