Party Time
John Dartnell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna hit a bar or two and maybe put the world to rights
Been a while since I played the field hope I remember how
I'm gonna find myself a good time girl I'm gonna find her now
Oh oh it's party time and darling I'm just doing fine
You thought I would crash and burn
But watch me now and you might learn
Now our divorce is stamped and signed
I wish that judge would come round here
'Coz he's the one man that I owe a beer
'Oh Oh it's party time
You fade into the misty haze, A smile comes on my face
I start to laugh at nothing much with my buddies in this place
As I'm sitting in this honky-tonk to you I raise my glass
'Coz If you think that I am missing you, hey baby kiss my arse
Oh oh it's party time and darling I'm just doing fine
You thought I would crash and burn
But watch me now and you might learn
Not for a minute do you cross my mind
Now our divorce is stamped and signed
I wish that judge would come round here
'Coz he's the one man that I owe a beer
'Oh Oh it's party time
Oh oh it's party time and darling I'm just doing fine
You thought I would crash and burn
But watch me now and you might learn
Not for a minute do you cross my mind
Now our divorce is stamped and signed
I wish that judge would come round here
'Coz he's the one man that I owe a beer
'Oh Oh it's party time
The lyrics to John Dartnell's song "Party Time" depict a newly liberated individual who is embracing his independence and moving on from a past relationship. The singer is excited about his newfound freedom and is ready to have a good time. He puts on a brand new shirt and heads out into the night, planning to visit a few bars and perhaps engage in some deep conversations that may help him make sense of the world. It has been a while since he has been single and he hopes he still remembers how to navigate the dating scene. He is determined to find himself a "good time girl" and starts his search immediately.
The chorus of the song reinforces the singer's happiness and carefree attitude. He states that it is "party time" and he is doing just fine, despite any doubts or expectations others may have had about his ability to move on. He confidently asserts that the person he used to be in a relationship with doesn't occupy his thoughts for even a minute. The mention of the stamped and signed divorce indicates that he has officially moved on, further solidifying his desire to leave his past behind. The singer even jokingly mentions owing the judge a beer, indicating that he may have wanted the divorce to happen and now feels grateful for the newfound freedom.
Overall, "Party Time" is an empowering anthem of liberation and embracing the present moment after a breakup. It celebrates the joy of moving on and finding happiness in one's own independence.
