Swindie (Panic at the 'Background') Songtext
von Ivan & the Parazol

Panic at ′The Background', but I don′t hear the sound
The boys are getting higher, they're dancing till dawn
The voice is from our street
There's no place for more feet
Panic is the mood I see, let′s have more, let it beer!
Panic at ′The Background', dancing round and round
A Sunday Evening Swindie, that′s what I wanna see

Panic at 'The Background′ all around and round and round
Panic at the background, with a foolish crazy sound
Panic at the 'The Background′, and a band rocks them all
Panic shakes them in and out, there's no place to sleep

Beer is on the floor, and beer is on the wall
Someone made a nice call, so the cops are at the door
The room is just an eyesore, so this is the end of the party war
What's next guys?


Panic at ′The Background′ all around and round and round
Panic is the mood I see, and the mood I wanna feel
Panic at the 'The Background′, and a band rocks them all
Panic shakes them in and out, there's no place to sleep

Well I′m thinking of a place where we could be together
Where you can drink and chat and smoke and kiss just forever
Where no dogs are allowed and the lights are green
And if you're lucky you can see the ghost of James Dean
Where the music is loud and the beer is cold
A place where you can boogie till you′re getting old
Well "The Background" seems so good to me
So it's the only place where I want to be.

But someone broke the rules for fun
Who will pay for what they've done?
God speed gentleman, the court waits for you!

Panic at ′The Background′ all around and round and round
Panic is the mood I see, and the mood I wanna feel
Panic at the 'The Background′, and a band rocks them all
Panic shakes them in and out, there's no place to sleep Pa-pa-pa-pa-panic.
