Ballroom Blitz

The Buzzcocks


Are you ready, Steve? Aha.   
Andy? Yeah! Mick? OK.   
Alright, fellas, let's go!   

Oh it's been getting so hard   
Livin' with the things you do to me, aha   
Oh my dreams are getting so strange   
I'd like to tell you everything I see   
Oh, I see a man at the back   
As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun   
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her   
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one   

Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening   
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving   

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah   
And the man at the back said   
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz   
And the girl in the corner said   
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz   
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz   
Ballroom blitz   

I'm reaching out for something   
Touching nothing's all I ever do   
Oh, I softly call you over   
When you appear there's nothing left of you, aha   
Now the man in the back   
Is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky   
And the girl in the corner is ev'ryone's mourner   
She could kill you with a wink of her eye   

Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic   
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing   

Refrain   

Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening   
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving   

Refrain   

It's it's a ballroom blitz, it's it's a ballroom blitz   
It's it's a ballroom blitz, yeah, it's a ballroom blitz
