S Club Juniors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All:
Sundown, Friday twilight
In the big town
Party people getting ready now
Somewhere, baby, I know you're waiting,
The cities vibrating

Stacey:
The city's in a heat wave
Praying for a sun shade
Hoping that the evening will chill down the streets

Frankie:
And I'm a little hot too
'Cause I can only think of you
Hoping that tonight you'll find out what I like

All:
Sun down, Friday twilight
In the big town
Party people getting ready now
Somewhere, baby, I know you're waiting, the cities vibrating
Sun down, air gets cooler, but my heart pounds
Loud and fast, I'm getting ready now,
Somewhere, baby, I know you're waiting, the cities vibrating

Stacey:
I don't know if you see me
Don't know if you are dreaming
Hoping for someone who can show you who you are

Frankie:
Tonight I'm gonna find you,
Fly in on a breeze and blind you
Take you from this club land and send us to the stars

All:
Sun down, Friday twilight
In the big town
Party people getting ready now
Somewhere, baby, I know you're waiting, the cities vibrating
Sun down, air gets cooler, but my heart pounds (Stacey: Sundown, yeah)
Loud and fast I'm getting ready now,
Somewhere, baby, I know you're waiting, the cities vibrating

Jay:
Bring back, back and forth

Stacey:
Time, no need to rush, we can make it right
'Cause we are meant to be, you and I
It's in the air we breathe all around, all around

Calvin and Stacey:
Say you're longing too,
'Cause I will look for you at

All:
Sun down, Friday twilight (Stacey: Sundown!)
In the big town
Party people getting ready now (Stacey:Getting ready now)
Somewhere, baby, I know you're waiting, the cities vibrating
Sun down, air gets cooler, but my heart pounds (Calvin: Sundown)




Loud and fast I'm getting ready now (Calvin: You know, you know I'm getting ready now)
Somewhere, baby, I know you're waiting, the cities vibrating

Just sat here remembering how this was totally my guilty pleasure back then and it's still a total bop! 🕺🤩

@mahshidnikravesh6137

Same!

@ian1746

Yup , love this wee tune

@SouthLightFX

As someone who was born in 1993; I grew up with 90s music much like this, clearly a forgotten era of good music... this IS STILL a tune 7n 2024.

@SouthLightFX

Please read 7n as 'in'...
Small keyboard buttons, fat fingers... enough said there. 😏

@azzabazza3729

The most 2000’s thing to ever exist 😭😂

@jackdriver9227
