St. John 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 St. John's song "Party Time" depict a narrator who is embracing his newfound freedom and independence after a divorce. The song starts with the singer getting ready to go out, putting on a brand new shirt and heading for the lights. He plans to visit a few bars and possibly engage in conversations that can help him make sense of the world. It has been a while since he has been single and he hopes he remembers how to navigate the dating scene. He is determined to find himself a good time girl and he wants to find her now.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's confidence and resilience. He tells his ex-partner that he is doing just fine without her, despite any doubts she may have had. He asserts that she thought he would crash and burn, but he is proving her wrong. He declares that not for a minute does she cross his mind, indicating that he has moved on and is focused on enjoying his newfound freedom. The mention of the divorce being stamped and signed suggests that he has legally finalized the end of his marriage.
In the second verse, the singer describes being in a honky-tonk with his buddies. As he sits there, he fades into a happy haze, finding amusement in even the smallest things. He raises his glass and mocks his ex-partner, saying that if she believes he is missing her, she can kiss his arse.
Overall, "Party Time" is a defiant anthem of celebration and liberation after a breakup. It portrays the singer embracing his independence, having a good time with friends, and letting go of any lingering feelings for his ex-partner.
