lyrics

Down on Brick Lane
By the old brewery
Were queues for ‘This Feeling’
On New Year’s Eve
A girl and a boy
Here they met by chance
They shared their first kiss
And they danced their first dance

He’d been restless for a while
Then bit the bullet - self-exiled
A sweetshop door was opened wide
He walked up and then he stepped inside

He said,
“Here’s a knickerblocker glory nonsense song
I wrote it in the morning on the plane to Hong-Kong
Let’s dance to it tomorrow
Like we danced that New Year’s day”

She’d traversed a rocky road
Tamed the monster - time to go
Packed her bags was leaving home
Oh where she’d go she weren't quite sure

He said,
“Here’s a knickerblocker glory nonsense song
I wrote it in the morning on the plane to Hong-Kong
Let’s dance to it tomorrow
Like we danced that New Year’s day
Just like we danced on New Year’s day”

“Here’s a knickerblocker glory nonsense song
I wrote it in the morning on a plane to Hong-Kong
Let’s dance to it tomorrow
Like we danced that New Year’s day
Just like we danced that New Year’s day
Just like we danced that New Year’s day
Just like we danced that New Year’s day
Just like we danced that New Year’s day
