The Party Must Continue Songtext
von Kormac

It′s time to party but I think I'd rather die
We are silent in the sitting room and she′s started to cry
The finger food is all laid out, balloons are on display
The doorbell rings, I look at her, she looks the other way
Hide the Barney, it's a time to be charming
Open up the door, surprised they are the size of an army
Cans of wine and Bacardi, tons of spliff too
The party, the party must continue

So now we've to fake it, we′ve to fake it
I′m so infuriated you could make it
The party, the party must continue
Continue, continue


Oh, I'm disgusted we invited Dick and Jane
She′s an absolute disaster and he's so dull it′s insane
Hide the mushrooms from him or he'll wreck the buzz
I mean, imagine meeting Nigel Mansell off your head on drugs
Who are these people anyway?
Friends of friends of friends, I′d say
I look across, I know she's hurt, it's meant to be her special day
I wish they′d leave, we could talk this thing through
The party, the party must continue

I′m just not in the humour, in the humour
There are ashes on the carpet and there's puke on my computer
But this party, this party will continue
Continue, continue

Please, oh please, them are good LPs
Would you put them back in sleeves?
And you really can′t beat your mother
Follow, put it back on the mantelpiece
We had taken that in Greece
And it was baking at the beach
Would you get down, get down off the roof?
Oh, please don't dance on the steep

I′ll get it
Yeah?
What's going on in here?
I′ve had complaints from every room in the house


They finally begin to go in dribs and drabs at intervals
The gang from work, our Paddy lads, they spill in too
The Windsor cold, I shut the door, feel a little ill too
Continue, continue
I go into the sitting room and sit there
She's curled up like a kitten in the big chair
I know she's not asleep by how her lids move
Continue, continue

Then she opens up her eyes again and they are locked on mine
I′ve learned a couple things by now and studied lots of signs
That look, I know it very well, it′s "let's lay down our guns"
She′s looking quite attractive in that dressing gown from Thom's
We laugh at the ordeal we′ve just been through
She pats the chair and beckons and the world seems very simple
In fact, I think this party may continue
Continue, continue
