Twin Wasp Recordings / Music and Lyrics by Spencer Dorsey

lyrics

Nineteen ninety six or seven
Nineteen ninety eight
Back when this basement
was overrun with angry nazis
We should run
Your oxblood boots
Steadfast on the ground
In your convictions
We're hiding in the bathroom
I held you tight
We gripped lead pipes
Your Chelsea blonde bangs
Hanging in your eyes
In your fearless eyes
Your sta-prest and your braces tight
I stayed close and braced myself that night
I braced myself that night

Your heart beats fast
Not as fast as mine
I hear the horns of the first wave
When I look into your eyes
When I look into your eyes

Barreling, stumbling pouring down the stairs
Down the only way out
We were the only ones there
Our smiles wide
As our eyes aligned
You looked at me
And handed me your red stripe
And said don't ever fear them
You won't let the change you
You won't let the break you
I'll stay down here forever
Underground with you
I went back in my mind
To that time you read me the spirit of 69
In your parents bedroom
The Trojan box set
I borrowed and didn't give back
Desmond dekker and Derrick Morgan

She said this is a dance hall
Keep your violence off our floor
This is our nightclub
And you can't chase us out no more
Laurel leaves over hearts of love
We are we are traditional ones

Your heart beats fast
Not as fast as mine
I hear the horns of the first wave
When I look into your eyes
Your heart beats fast
Not as fast as mine
Let's remember tonight
Long after this venues demise
Long after this venues demise
