Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put on my bowler
Looked in mirror
Ready for the tango
I phoned a taxi
For me and Maxine
She looked fantastic
We danced the tango
We danced again
We had laughter
And then after
Face to face we danced
the tango
Cheek to cheek we danced
the tango
The Adicts' song "Tango" is a story about getting ready for a night out to dance. The song follows the singer as he gets ready with his umbrella and bowler and looks in the mirror, making sure that he looks good before calling a taxi to pick him and his partner, Maxine, up for the night. The lyrics suggest that the singer and Maxine had a great time dancing the tango together, drinking champagne as they broke out in laughter while dancing cheek to cheek. The song's overall message is about having a good time and enjoying the moment with someone special while dancing the tango.
The song "Tango" was released in 1992 as a part of the Adict's album "Twenty-Seven". Although the song wasn't a commercial success, it became a fan favorite and is now considered a classic punk single. The Adicts are known for their unique sound, which incorporates elements of punk rock, theatricality, and humor.

Picked up umbrella
I grabbed my umbrella
Put on my bowler
I wore my bowler hat
Looked in mirror
I checked myself out in the mirror
Ready for the tango
I was prepared to dance the tango
I phoned a taxi
I called a taxi
For me and Maxine
Maxine is joining me
She looked fantastic
Maxine looked amazing
We danced the tango
Maxine and I danced the tango
We drank champagne
We had some champagne
We danced again
We continued to dance
We had laughter
We shared some laughs
And then after
Following that
Face to face we danced the tango
Maxine and I danced the tango while facing each other
Cheek to cheek we danced the tango
Maxine and I danced the tango while our cheeks were touching

i've explored so many types of rock music and I can say The Adicts is at the top of my favorite... It's Punk but it's so positive and uplifting...lets bring back this type of punk rock!

it's Oi! Early Oi! was less serious, more fun and could be quite poppy.
