Dance Hall Days
Wang Chung Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And make her do a high handstand
And take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said
Dance hall days, love
Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there, there, there
And take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love
Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love
The lyrics of Wang Chung's "Dance Hall Days" describe a nostalgic look back at the carefree and exhilarating days of youth spent dancing in clubs. The song's chorus expresses a sense of longing for those times, as the singer reminisces about being "cool on craze" and sharing common experiences and beliefs with the other dancers. The verses contain more explicit instructions for dancing, as well as suggestions of a more intimate connection between dance partners.
The first verse tells the listener to take their partner by the hand and make her do a handstand, and then to take her by the heel and do "the next thing that you feel." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for taking risks and following one's instincts, both in dancing and in life. The second verse instructs the listener to pull their partner close by the hair and ears, and to "play upon her darkest fears." This could be seen as a slightly darker reference to the thrill of danger and excitement that can be found in both dancing and intimate relationships.
Overall, "Dance Hall Days" is a tribute to the youthful energy and sense of community that can be found in the dance scene. The lyrics suggest that by joining together in the act of dancing, people are able to share a sense of connection and belonging that can be difficult to find elsewhere.

You know I can't live in any place I visit
To live and die in L.A.
I got my Fleetwood Mac, I could get high every day
But I'd be sleepy, OCD and paranoid, so
Give me Bali beach, no molly, please
Palm, no marijuana trees
Your hickeys on my aorta, and tattoos you could only see
When I'm playing surfboarder, Put whiskey in that salt water, I emptied every canteen
Just to wear that straight edge varsity you think's cool

@siechamontillado
@@osumatsuplays5027 Not sure but given how craptastic the DEs are, I'd save the money and just stick with the originals.
