Let's Dance to Joy Division
The Wombats Lyrics

I'm back in Liverpool
The singer is in Liverpool again.

And everything seems the same
Things in Liverpool haven't changed much since the singer was last here.

But I worked something out last night
The singer had an epiphany recently.

That changed this little boy's brain
The epiphany had a profound effect on the artist.

A small piece of advice
The artist learned something valuable from their experience.

That took twenty-two years in the making
It took the singer a long time to learn this lesson.

And I will break it for you now
The singer is going to share this lesson with others.

Please learn from my mistakes
The artist wants others to avoid making the same mistakes they did.

Let's dance to Joy Division
The artist suggests dancing to Joy Division.

And celebrate the irony
The artist finds it ironic that they can enjoy themselves in spite of things going wrong.

Everything is going wrong
There are many problems or obstacles in the singer's life.

But we're so happy
Despite these problems, the artist is happy.

And raise our glass to the ceiling
The singer suggests raising a glass in celebration.

'Cause this could all go so wrong
Things could get even worse than they already are.

So, if you're ever feeling down
If someone is feeling depressed or sad,

Grab your purse and take a taxi
They should get ready to go out and have some fun.

To the darkest side of town
The place to go is somewhere a little edgy or unconventional.

That's where we'll be
The singer will be there to meet them.

And we will wait for you
The singer will be patient while the other person gets ready to go out.

And lead you through the dance floor
The artist will guide the other person through the crowd on the dance floor.

Up to the DJ booth
The artist will take the other person to the DJ booth.

You know what to ask for
The other person knows what music to request.

Go ask for Joy Division
The singer encourages the other person to request a Joy Division song.

Let the love tear us apart
The artist quotes a line from a Joy Division song.

I found the cure for a broken heart
The singer believes that dancing to Joy Division can cure a broken heart.

Let's dance to Joy Division
The singer suggests dancing to Joy Division again.

So, let the love tear us apart
The singer repeats the previous Joy Division quote.

So happy
The artist is very happy.

Yeah, we're so happy
The artist is emphasizing their happiness.
